Cricket Betting at 21 takabet — all markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
Cricket is the most beloved sport in Bangladesh, and now you can enjoy it even more. Bet on match winner, toss, top batsman or over runs — check live odds and get started from just ৳100 with bKash, Nagad, Rocket or Upay.
Three formats of cricket and Bangladesh's favourite tournaments
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. From the grounds of Dhaka to a mobile screen, every moment of cricket means something special to people here. At 21 takabet you can bet on all three major formats of cricket.
T20 Cricket
The fastest format of the game. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup are the three tournaments most popular with Bangladeshi bettors. Odds shift quickly with every over, making live betting particularly engaging here.
BPL IPL T20 WCODI Cricket
Fifty overs of strategy and patience. Bangladesh Tigers always make their mark in the ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series. There are more opportunities for mid-innings betting in this format.
ICC WC Bilateral SeriesTest Cricket
Five days of contest where the situation can turn in any session. Innings performance, end-of-day scores and whether the match will be drawn — these are markets unique to Tests. Test betting offers a different kind of experience for patient bettors.
Test Series Innings MarketsAlongside cricket, 21 takabet also offers betting on football, tennis, badminton and volleyball. Visit the sports betting page to see the full sports betting experience, where detailed markets and guides for all sports are available. Cricket and football betting are quite different — cricket has far more in-play markets per ball and per over, while football is centred on goal-based markets.
7 popular cricket markets — how to bet on each one
-
Match Winner: Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. Choose Team A or Team B and check the result at the end of the match. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so you pick one of two outcomes.
-
Toss Winner: Place your bet on the toss result before the match begins. This market is settled quickly and is popular with many bettors because you know whether you have won right at the first moment of the match.
-
Top Batsman: Which batter will score the most runs — for a specific team or across the whole match. This is a performance-based market, so it is worth considering the pitch and the batting order.
-
Total Runs Over/Under: Whether the total runs scored will be more or less than a set number. For example, whether total runs in a T20 will exceed 320 — pick one of two positions on this type of market.
-
First Over Runs: A bet on how many runs will be scored in the first over of an innings. This is a popular market for those who want a quick result.
-
Multi Bet: Combine multiple matches or markets on a single slip. You need all selections to win. For example, picking team winners from three separate matches in one bet gives you a chance at a higher return from a single stake — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
-
Handicap Betting: A runs or wickets advantage is given to the stronger team to balance the market. For example, if Team A wins with a 15-run handicap applied, that means their effective winning margin is even larger.
Decimal, Fractional and American odds — explained with examples
Odds tell you how much you can get back on a given stake. At 21 takabet you can view odds in all three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three present the same information in different ways.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats
Team A to win, stake ৳200:
If Team A wins: ৳450 returned (৳250 profit + original ৳200 stake). If Team A loses: you lose ৳200. With decimal odds, multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return (৳200 × 2.25 = ৳450).
Example 2 — odds on the favourite
Team B is more likely to win, stake ৳200:
If Team B wins: ৳300 returned (৳100 profit + original ৳200). American minus odds (-200) mean you need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100. The return on a favourite is lower, but the chance of winning is comparatively higher.

Live in-play betting — when wickets fall, when overs change
In-play or live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress — and this is what sets cricket betting apart from other sports. Every wicket, every big shot, every maiden over can shift the odds.
Say Team A has scored 130 runs for 4 wickets in 15 overs of a T20. They were the favourites at the start, but as wickets fell the odds moved quickly — Team B's odds of winning have now shortened. This is the moment when new betting opportunities appear.
A few things to keep in mind with live betting:
- Odds change fast, so keep your eyes on the screen before placing a bet.
- New market opportunities come up during the powerplay, death overs and the mid-innings break.
- Stay calm during live betting — it is better not to place large bets in the heat of the moment.
- Every in-play bet is for entertainment — it is better not to treat it as a way to earn income.
Useful tips for cricket betting — for both new and experienced bettors
Set a budget first
Set a budget for yourself before each betting session. Staying within that budget keeps the experience enjoyable. Avoid placing extra bets to try to recover losses.
Understand the format before choosing a market
Total runs markets in T20, session-based markets in Tests, match winner in ODI — try to understand which markets are most relevant in each format before you bet.
Start with small bets
When betting on a new market or a new tournament for the first time, start with a small amount. Decisions become easier as you gain experience. Betting is for entertainment — it is better not to become dependent on it.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets may seem to offer higher returns, but if any selection is wrong the entire bet is lost. Combining three decimal odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.90 gives total odds of approximately 4.52 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳452, but if even one of the three does not win you lose ৳100. So it is wise not to add too many selections at once.

Betting on football and other sports — how it differs from cricket
Football is popular in Bangladesh, just like cricket, but the betting structure for the two sports is quite different. Fewer goals are scored in 90 minutes of football, so markets such as 1×2 (home/draw/away) and both teams to score are more common. In cricket, markets shift ball by ball; in football, they shift by half or by goal events.
Tennis has set-by-set betting, badminton has game totals and volleyball has set scores — each sport has its own market structure. BetterLive Live offers live streaming of many sports alongside betting, which makes for a more complete experience.
