Cricket betting at baji888 — pick the best markets on Bangladesh Tigers matches
From T20 to Test, BPL to T20 World Cup — baji888 has detailed markets for every match. Bet before the match starts or while it is in progress, and make decisions with a clear understanding of the odds.
The three cricket formats and major tournaments
For fans and supporters in Bangladesh, cricket is more than a game — it is an emotion. At baji888, that passion connects with the opportunity to bet, where you can place wagers with an understanding of what makes each format different.
Fast and intense
In this 20-over format, the match can turn in any over. Major leagues like BPL and IPL are played in T20 format, where the situation changes with every ball. That is why live betting is most active in T20.
The fifty-over contest
The 50-over one-day match is a test of planning and patience. The ICC World Cup is held in this format. Total runs over/under and top batsman markets are quite popular in ODI.
The five-day epic
Test cricket is the longest and most tactical format. Alongside a match winner, there is also the possibility of a draw — which makes this market work differently from T20 or ODI.
Bangladesh Tigers play all three formats on the international stage. BPL is the biggest franchise tournament held on home soil every winter, and it is the most familiar to Bangladeshi bettors. Betting markets on international tournaments such as IPL, T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy are also open at baji888.
How betting on cricket, football and other sports differs
At baji888 you can bet on football and several other sports alongside cricket. Knowing the differences between these sports makes it easier to choose a market.
A football match lasts just 90 minutes and the result is usually decided by the number of goals — a draw is a common outcome. In cricket, particularly T20 and ODI, a draw is not possible; one team must win. This fundamental difference has a direct effect on how odds are formed.
Cricket markets are far more detailed than football — runs per over, the order in which wickets fall, powerplay score — these options exist only in cricket. Football, on the other hand, offers its own variety with markets like corners, cards and goalscorers.

7 popular betting markets in cricket
baji888 has a range of cricket markets. Each market is a little different — some are about the overall match result, others are about specific moments during the game.
Match Winner
Picking which team will win is the most straightforward market. You choose one of two options — Team A or Team B.
Easy to startToss Winner
A market on who will win the toss before the match starts. This is a completely random event, so the odds for both sides are usually close to each other.
Pre-matchTop Batsman
Who will score the most runs within a team. Example: which batsman will score the most runs for Team A.
Team-basedTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in the match or an innings will be more than (over) or less than (under) a set number — you pick one of the two.
Runs marketMulti Bet
Multiple matches or markets can be combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return is much larger — but if even one is wrong, the entire stake is lost.
Multiple marketsPowerplay Score
How many runs will be scored in the first 6 overs (the powerplay) — this market settles very quickly, right at the start of the innings.
Live marketOver of First Wicket
A market on which over the first wicket will fall. Pitch conditions and the bowling attack at the start of the innings play the main role here.
Wicket marketHow to read and understand odds
At baji888, odds are shown in three formats: decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways.
Say you are betting on whether Team A will win. The same odds look like this across the three formats:
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150
If the bet wins, you get back ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 original stake).
If the bet loses, you lose ৳1,000.
Decimal 2.50 means that for every one taka staked, you get back a total of ৳2.50 if you win (including your stake). Fractional 3/2 means ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked. American +150 means ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake.
Now see what the odds on a favourite look like:
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400
If the bet wins, you get back ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit; here a ৳400 stake returns ৳100 profit.
The decimal format is the easiest for most bettors because it shows the total return directly. At baji888 you can choose whichever format you prefer.
Calculating a cricket multi bet
Say you make three selections across three separate matches:
Selection 2: Decimal 1.70
Selection 3: Decimal 1.80
Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (rounded)
Return on a ৳100 stake: ৳428 — but only if all three selections are correct.
If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
A multi bet offers a higher return, but the risk is also higher. Analyse each selection separately.
Live in-play betting — odds shift wicket by wicket
Live betting on cricket is the most engaging experience — because the situation changes after every ball. At baji888, odds update in real time while the match is in progress.
As an example: Team A has scored 110 runs in 15 overs for 3 wickets. At that moment Team A's odds of winning will shift — if key batsmen lose their wickets, Team A's odds will lengthen (they become less favoured), and if a high-scoring over comes through, the odds will shorten (they become more favoured).
Run rate per over, pitch conditions, a bowler's rhythm — all of these combine to reshape live markets every minute. Significant odds movements are especially visible after the powerplay ends and before the death overs begin.
In-play betting requires quick decisions. It helps to already have an understanding of the format and the recent performance of the teams involved.
Some tips for staying sensible when betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — treating it as a source of income increases the chance of losses. Keeping the following points in mind will make the betting experience better.
- Set a budget first — decide how much you will spend in each session before you start, and do not go beyond it.
- Build skill in one market — to begin with, focus on straightforward markets like match winner or total runs over/under.
- Understand the format before you bet — the same type of market works very differently in T20 and Test.
- Be careful with multi bets — even when the combined odds look large, a single wrong selection loses the whole stake.
- Do not rush in live betting — odds change fast, but keeping your emotions in check matters.
- Learn to accept a loss — chasing losses by placing larger bets to recover money almost always leads to bigger losses.
