Cricket betting on sixer — odds for every moment from T20 to BPL
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup — sixer brings a wide range of betting markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh. From before the first ball to mid-innings, odds shift with every delivery, and spotting those shifts is what makes cricket betting stand out.
Three formats of cricket and Bangladesh's favourite tournaments
To understand cricket betting, it helps to know how the three formats work. T20 is the fastest and most popular format — each team plays just 20 overs, the pace is high, and odds can change dramatically. ODI, or one-day cricket, gives each team 50 overs, allowing for slightly longer-term planning. Test cricket runs over five days — a draw is a valid result, so there are three possible outcome markets (Team A win, Team B win, draw).
The most exciting tournament for fans in Bangladesh is the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League). Local franchise teams, overseas players, and home-crowd passion make every BPL match count. Alongside BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup also draw strong interest from bettors in Bangladesh.
For ICC international matches featuring Bangladesh — the Tigers — sixer markets are at their most active. During the World Cup or Champions Trophy, several markets run at the same time, giving bettors the chance to analyse a match from different angles.
Football and other sports betting — how it differs from cricket
Football betting is also popular on sixer alongside cricket, but the two sports have quite different betting structures. Cricket offers separate markets for individual performance — top run scorer, total wickets — while football markets focus on team performance: number of goals, first goalscorer, exact score from a penalty.
Test cricket can end in a draw, so there are three odds. T20 or ODI has only two outcomes (Team A win or Team B win) — much like a knockout football match. In contrast, a draw is common in football league games, so three-outcome markets are the norm.
In sports like tennis, hockey, or kabaddi, results are usually two-way (win or lose), though round-based markets and set score markets are also available. Cricket's innings-based structure produces the most market variety of any of these sports.
If you are new, you can compare markets across different sports in sixer's sixer Bet section and start with the sport you know best.
Popular cricket betting markets — a simple introduction to each
Before placing a cricket bet, it is worth knowing what each market covers. Here is a breakdown of seven common markets.
Match Winner
A straight bet on which team will win the match. Two odds in T20 or ODI; three in Test. Example — choosing Team B in a match between Team A and Team B.
T20 ODI TestToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the coin toss. Pitch conditions and weather make this market popular. Example — whether Team A will win the toss.
All FormatsTop Run Scorer
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the match. Batting order and pitch type are key factors here.
T20 ODITotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether total runs in the match will be above or below a set number. Example — whether total runs in a T20 match will be over or under 320.
T20 ODIMulti Bet
Multiple selections from different matches are combined into one bet — all selections must be correct to win. Odds multiply, so the potential return is larger, but one wrong selection loses the whole bet.
Combined BetMan of the Match
A bet on who will receive the Man of the Match award at the end. All-round performance carries the most weight here.
T20 ODIWicket in a Specific Over
A bet on whether a wicket will fall in a particular over. This market is most active during T20 powerplay overs.
T20 PowerplayHow to read odds — a comparison across three formats
Odds on betting platforms are displayed in three different formats — Decimal, Fractional, and American. All three convey the same information, just written differently.
Say Team A's odds to win a T20 match are: Decimal 2.25, Fractional 5/4, American +125. All three express the same odds.
A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,250 if it wins (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake). If it loses, the ৳1,000 is gone.
If Team B is the favourite in the same match: Decimal 1.25, Fractional 1/4, American -400.
American minus odds mean — stake ৳400 to profit ৳100. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 (৳250 profit). The favourite always has lower odds, so the return is lower.

Quick-reference cheat sheet
| Format | Odds | Return on ৳1,000 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳2,250 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳2,250 |
| American | +125 | ৳2,250 |
All three formats carry the same information. These figures apply when Team A's odds to win are 2.25.
Multi Bet — combining multiple selections into one
A multi bet or parlay means adding selections from several matches onto a single bet slip. Each selection's odds are multiplied together to produce the final odds. Example — if three selections have odds of 1.40, 1.60, and 1.90 respectively, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳426 if all three are correct.
The key point is that if any one selection is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost. So while the potential return on a multi bet is higher, so is the risk. For beginners, starting with one or two selections is a sensible approach.
It is worth reading sixer's terms and conditions to understand the rules around betting.
- Selection 1: odds 1.40
- Selection 2: odds 1.60
- Selection 3: odds 1.90
- Combined odds: 4.26
- Return on ৳100 bet: ৳426
- If one selection is wrong, the whole bet is lost
Live betting — how odds move with wickets and overs
Live or in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. Every event — a wicket, a big six, a rising run rate — causes odds to update instantly.
Say Team A scores 60 runs in the first five overs — their odds to win will shorten and Team B's odds will lengthen. Conversely, if three wickets fall during the powerplay, Team A's odds can spike suddenly. Tracking these fast-moving changes is the core challenge of live betting.
Odds move fastest during death bowling in the final overs of a T20 match. At that stage, a single six or a maiden over can shift the whole market. That is why staying focused and avoiding rushed decisions matters in live betting.
sixer's sixer App supports live betting on mobile — both Android and iOS versions are available through official channels.
Practical tips for cricket betting
-
Pick markets that match the format
Total runs and top batsman markets are popular in T20; in Test, do not overlook the draw outcome. -
Factor in pitch conditions and weather
A batting-friendly pitch raises the chance of high scores; a wet outfield or rain risk can change the result. -
Set a budget and stick to it
Do not bet more than you are comfortable losing. Betting is a form of entertainment — not a source of income. -
Focus rather than spreading across many markets at once
Beginners tend to do better by sticking to two or three familiar markets. There is no need to bet on every market on the same day. -
Observe before acting in live betting
Watching a few overs to read the situation before placing a bet makes it easier to decide. -
Bet responsibly
If you feel betting is getting out of control, read the responsible gaming guidelines — sixer has tools to set limits.
Keep in mind
Betting is entertainment — it is not a substitute for profitable investment. Cricket results are never certain, so treat every bet as a leisure expense.
