Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
The first thing to understand in cricket betting is how the game works in each format. T20 is the fastest version, with a full match completed in just 20 overs and the situation able to change on every ball. That is why live betting is especially popular in T20 — a single wicket can shift the odds dramatically.
In ODI format, 50 overs of play give more opportunity to read patterns. The powerplay, middle overs, and death overs each call for different team strategies, which means the betting markets are also broader. Test cricket, on the other hand, is a five-day exercise in patience; pitch behaviour and weather play a major role.
For fans in Bangladesh, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is a celebration — a franchise league featuring the country's top cricketers alongside international players. A BPL match in Dhaka means a packed stadium and tension on every over. IPL is also a favourite here; the tournament brings the world's best batsmen and bowlers face to face.
The T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy, and the Ashes series attract hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide. zbaji offers various markets on these tournaments, giving you the chance to bet on your preferred format in your own way.

FranchiseFootball and Other Sports
zbaji is not limited to cricket. Football betting has its own place here — there are opportunities to bet on matches ranging from the world's top leagues to Bangladeshi club football.
There is a fundamental difference between the cricket and football betting experience. In cricket, a match runs for several hours with new opportunities arising every over. In football, the scoreline directly affects the odds across 90 minutes — a single goal can completely change the market. In cricket, odds shift with wickets, over rates, or partnerships; in football, it is mainly goals and cards that move the markets.
Betting is also available on sports such as tennis, badminton, and kabaddi. However, cricket and football are by far the most discussed in the Bangladeshi market, as they have the largest fan bases here.
Alongside sports betting, you can enjoy live casino games at zbaji, where you can play Baccarat, Roulette, and Teen Patti with a real dealer — so there is no break in entertainment even during a cricket match interval.
Popular Betting Markets
In a cricket match, you can bet on much more than just who wins. Below is a brief overview of the 7 most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. For example: if Team A wins, your bet is successful; if Team B wins, your bet is lost. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so the two options are straightforward.
Toss Betting
This market is about which team wins the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely separate — the team that wins the toss may still lose the match. Odds in the toss market are usually roughly equal between the two sides.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs for their team. For example: whichever player scores the highest for Team A — if your bet is on the right batsman, you win.
Over / Under Runs
The bookmaker sets a runs line (for example, total runs in an innings). You decide whether the actual runs scored will be above that number (over) or below it (under).
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combine the outcomes of multiple matches into a single bet. If all your selections are correct, the odds multiply for a larger return; if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Top Wicket-Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. The pitch type and team strategy influence this market. It is especially popular in ODI and Test.
Handicap Betting
The stronger team is given a virtual disadvantage on paper to level the market. For example: if Team B is given a 20-run head start, the bet wins if they stay ahead by that margin.
How to Read Odds
Odds are written in three main formats — decimal, fractional, and American (moneyline). zbaji generally uses decimal format, which is the most straightforward.
The Same Odds in Three Formats
Suppose ৳1,000 is placed on Team A to win:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return including stake: ৳2,500 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake |
If Team A wins, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 in total (profit ৳1,500 + original stake ৳1,000). If Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
What Favourite Odds Look Like
When Team B is a clear favourite, their odds are lower. For example: decimal odds of 1.50 on Team B to win, fractional 1/2, American -200. Negative American odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. Here a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 in total (profit ৳500).
Multi Bet Example
Three selections across three separate matches combined:
- Selection 1 — Odds 1.50
- Selection 2 — Odds 1.70
- Selection 3 — Odds 1.80
Combined odds: 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59
A ৳100 bet returns ৳459 if all three are correct.
If any one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift Wicket by Wicket
You can place bets at zbaji even after a match has started — this is called live or in-play betting. It is the most dynamic way to experience cricket, as the situation can change on every ball.
Say Team A is batting and has made a good start in the powerplay — at that moment Team A's odds of winning shorten and Team B's odds lengthen. Then if two quick wickets fall, the market flips again. In live betting these shifts are visible in real time and you can make decisions accordingly.
Over-by-over markets are particularly popular in live betting — how many runs will be scored in the next over, or whether a wicket will fall on the next ball. In T20, these markets intensify in the death overs because the match result is most uncertain for both sides at that point.
A cash-out option is also available in many in-play markets — allowing you to close your bet before the match ends to secure a profit or limit a potential loss. You can enjoy the full live betting experience at zbaji through zbaji Bet.
Practical Betting Tips
-
1
Choose one format. T20, ODI, and Test each have their own character. Focusing on one format to start with makes understanding the markets easier. In T20 there are more runs and comparatively fewer wickets — keep that pattern in mind.
-
2
Set a budget first. Decide how much you will set aside before you start and stick to it. Betting is for entertainment — chasing losses with bigger bets is not a good idea.
-
3
Keep multi bets limited. Combining multiple selections increases returns, but a single wrong pick loses everything. It is better not to go beyond two or three selections.
-
4
Do not rush in live betting. Odds move fast in live markets. When a wicket falls, rather than reacting immediately, wait for the situation to settle a little before making a decision.
-
5
Bet responsibly. Betting is for enjoyment, not a source of income. Stay aware of your own limits and read the responsible gaming guidelines if needed.
Is Betting a Way to Earn Money?
Betting is a form of entertainment. While every bet carries a chance of winning, the chance of losing is equally real. No strategy or system can guarantee consistent profit. Bet within your means and do not put pressure on yourself beyond the enjoyment of it.
