Cricket Betting at krikya — Place Bets on Every Match from T20 to Test
Bet on all formats of BPL, IPL and international cricket on krikya's easy platform. From Match Winner to live in-play — new opportunities every over.
The three cricket formats and popular tournaments
To understand cricket betting, it helps to know the formats well first — because each format has a different style of play and different markets.
T20
Only 20 overs per innings — results change fast. Major leagues like BPL and IPL are played in this format. In this fast-moving game, odds shift after every over, which is why live betting is most popular here.
ODI
Strategy matters more in a 50-over match. Run rate and wickets in hand both need to be tracked through the middle overs. Betting markets are large for ICC international series and bilateral ODIs.
Test
In this five-day format, a draw is a possible result, so there are three markets — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. Pitch conditions and weather have a significant effect on odds.
BPL is the closest tournament to Bangladeshi fans — you can enjoy watching local cricketers play while betting at the same time. IPL brings together the best players in the world, and the T20 World Cup delivers the full excitement of international cricket in one event. At krikya, you can bet on these three tournaments as well as international ODI and Test series.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at krikya. Football matches run for 90 minutes and have three possible results — win, loss or draw. Like cricket, live betting is available here too, though the markets are somewhat different.
In cricket, markets based on individual performance (such as Top Batsman and Top Wicket-taker) are very popular — these are less common in football. In football, Goal Scorer, Half-Time Score and Corner markets are more prominent.
Compared to cricket, there are more football matches and they run almost year-round, so there is more variety in betting markets. However, for Bangladeshi bettors, BPL and international cricket remain the most familiar and the centre of interest.
krikya's Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting gives you the option to choose from several markets. Understanding what each market involves makes betting clearer.
Bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two possible results — Team A or Team B. Example: if Team A has higher odds, they are the underdog; if lower, they are the favourite.
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is a completely separate market — it has no connection to the match result.
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs within a specific team. Batting form and pitch conditions play an important role here.
Bet on whether the total runs in a match or an innings will be more than (Over) or less than (Under) a set number. Example: line is 165 runs — if you think Team A will score 180, choose "Over".
Bet on at what score the first wicket will fall or which team's first wicket will fall — the focus of this type of market is the opening of the innings.
The weaker team is given a notional run advantage. This brings both sides' odds closer together even in a lopsided match. The result is determined by the final score after adding the handicap.
Combining multiple matches or markets into a single bet at the same time. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return increases — but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet loses. See the odds section for a detailed example.
How to Read and Understand Odds
There are three common odds formats — decimal, fractional and American. krikya generally shows decimal odds. Once you understand the two examples below, all three formats will become clear.
The same price can be written in three formats:
Decimal: 2.50 |
Fractional: 3/2 |
American: +150
If you win, return: ৳500 (৳300 profit + original stake ৳200). If you lose, ৳200 is gone.
Decimal: 1.80 | Fractional: 4/5 | American: -125
A negative American figure shows how much you need to stake to win 100. If you win, return: ৳360 (৳160 profit + original stake ৳200).
Simple rule for reading decimal odds: Multiply your stake by the odds — that gives you the total return (including stake). Decimal 1.00 means no profit; the higher the number, the higher the return, but the lower the chance of winning. The team with lower odds is generally the favourite.
Live In-Play Betting — Bet During the Match
Live Betting is active — odds update as each over is completed.
With krikya's live in-play feature, you can place bets even after the match has started. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds go up; when the run rate is good, they come down — being able to spot these shifts is the main appeal of live betting.
In T20, odds change quickly during the powerplay overs. If three wickets fall in the powerplay, the bowling team's chances of winning increase and their odds shorten. On the other hand, if a big batsman is playing in fast rhythm, the batting team's odds keep shortening.
In Test matches, pitch conditions change from day to day, so live odds also differ at the start and end of each day. If rain stops play or the DLS method comes into effect, odds are significantly affected.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping these tips in mind will make the experience better.
- Set your budget in advance. Decide how much you want to bet before each match and do not go beyond that limit. It is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines once.
- Choose markets based on the format. In high-scoring T20 matches, the Total Runs market works well. In Test cricket, also consider the draw option in the Match Winner market.
- Be careful with multi bets. Combining more selections increases the return, but also the risk. One wrong selection loses the whole bet. Starting with no more than two or three selections is advisable.
- Avoid rushing in live betting. Because odds change fast, you may feel pressure to decide quickly. Focus on the markets you understand well.
- Compare odds. Decimal, fractional and American — all three formats show the same price, just written differently. When you see any format, refer back to the examples above to check.
- Do not try to recover losses by placing bigger bets. Every match is separate. A loss in the previous match is not a reason to bet bigger in the next one.
Betting is for entertainment
Cricket betting is a way to enjoy the game — never think of it as a guaranteed source of income. Treating it as entertainment makes for a better experience.

Multi Bet — Multiple Bets at Once
A multi bet lets you combine three or more selections and the odds multiply together. Here is an example: three separate selections across three matches — decimal odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.90.
Combined odds: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56 (approximately)
Return on a ৳100 bet: ৳456 — but only if all three selections are correct. If any one is wrong, you lose the full ৳100.
Both single and multi bets are available on krikya's krikya Bet platform. If you want to enjoy casino games, you can check out the details at krikya Casino.
