889bet Cricket Betting — Best Odds on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bet on cricket at 889bet across every format from T20 to Test. Place bets on Match Winner, Toss, Top Batsman and many more markets — starting from just ৳500 via bKash, Nagad and Rocket.
Cricket's three formats and Bangladeshis' favourite competitions
Cricket is more than a sport in Bangladesh — it is a passion. At 889bet you can bet across all three main formats.
T20 — Fast and Unpredictable
T20 is the shortest format, so the situation can change with every over. BPL is Bangladesh's domestic T20 league and draws huge enthusiasm across the country each year. IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are also very popular for betting at 889bet.
ODI — A Balanced Test
This 50-over format places equal importance on batting, bowling and fielding. Major tournaments like the ICC Cricket World Cup are played in this format. Many bettors find that markets become most interesting around the midpoint of an innings in ODIs.
Test — A Test of Patience
This five-day format is the deepest in terms of strategy. Bangladesh Tigers' Test matches, especially those played in Dhaka, generate strong interest among cricket fans in the country. Test cricket has fewer markets, but key ones like Match Winner and Series Result are available.
Football and other sports alongside cricket
Football is as popular as cricket in Bangladesh, though there are some differences when it comes to betting on the two sports. In football, a draw is a separate outcome, so bets are usually offered at three prices for three possible results. In cricket — particularly T20 and ODI — you normally choose between two teams, because a tie in those formats is very rare.
Handicap betting is common in football, where the weaker team is given a goal advantage. In cricket, the Total Runs Over/Under market works on a similar idea — you bet on whether the total runs will be above or below a set line.
At 889bet you can also bet on kabaddi, tennis and other international sports. However, a large share of Bangladeshi users put cricket first — especially BPL and Bangladesh national team matches. Before you start betting, make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully.
Popular betting markets with examples
Several cricket markets are available at 889bet. A brief explanation of each is given below.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which of the two teams will win the match. Example: Team A vs Team B — you pick Team A, and if Team A wins, your bet wins.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is completely separate from the match result — once the toss is done, the bet is settled.
Top Batsman
A bet on which player will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. You can choose from several available options.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a runs line, for example 165 runs. You bet on whether the total runs scored will go above that line (Over) or stay below it (Under).
First Wicket Partnership Runs
A bet on whether the runs scored by the two openers before the first wicket falls will be above or below a set line.
Multi Bet
Combining different markets from multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct the total payout is much larger, but if any one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Multi Bet Example (in numbers)
If the decimal odds for three selections are 1.50, 1.60 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56 (approximately). On a ৳100 bet, if all three selections are correct you get back ৳456; if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
These figures are for illustration only — actual odds change at all times.
Understanding odds in three formats
Odds are displayed in decimal, fractional and American formats, but they all express the same value.
Example 1 — The same price in three formats
Team A to win, ৳1,000 stake. Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125.
- If you win, you get back ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake)
- If you lose, ৳1,000 is gone
Example 2 — The favourite's price
Team B to win, Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. A negative American odds figure means how much you need to stake to win ৳100 in profit.
- On a ৳1,000 bet, if you win you get back ৳1,500 (৳500 profit)
- If you lose, ৳1,000 is gone
Decimal odds are the easiest to read — simply multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return. 889bet shows decimal format by default.
Live in-play betting — bet while the match is on
In-play betting means you can place bets after the match has started. In cricket, odds shift after every over and every wicket, as the bookmaker recalculates prices based on the current situation.
After the powerplay
If quick wickets fall in the first 6 overs, the batting team's odds lengthen and the bowling team's odds shorten.
In the middle overs
As a big partnership builds and the score climbs, the Over line in the Total Runs market moves upward.
In the last 5 overs
A sudden dismissal or a big hit in the death overs can flip the odds in moments — these swings are what make in-play betting distinct.
In the second innings
During a run chase, the Match Winner odds change most rapidly based on the required run rate and wickets remaining.

Practical betting tips — for beginners
Betting is for entertainment. No strategy guarantees a win — but certain habits help keep the experience more controlled.
-
Set a budget first. Decide in advance how much you will bet each week or each match. Stay within that budget.
-
Start with one market. Match Winner is the simplest — focus on that first. Spreading bets across too many markets at once makes things complicated.
-
Understand the odds before you bet. With decimal odds, multiply your stake by the odds to get your return. If you do not understand the odds on a bet, it is better not to place it.
-
Do not rush in-play betting. Odds change fast — avoid making decisions on impulse. Watch how the match develops and bet with a clear head.
-
Play responsibly. If betting is causing you stress or affecting your daily life, read the responsible gaming guidelines and take a break.
