Cricket Betting at 2222bet — bet on every match from T20 to Test, BPL to World Cup
2222bet covers every format of Bangladesh's favourite sport. From match winner to top batsman — bet across a range of markets with familiar rules.
Cricket's three formats and which competitions to bet on
Cricket's three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have a distinct character from a betting perspective. In T20, results shift quickly; a six or a wicket can change the whole picture. In ODI, pacing matters — the opening powerplay, middle overs and death overs each carry separate significance. In Test cricket, play runs across five days, and pitch and weather influence every session.
BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is a major event for fans in Bangladesh every season. IPL matches draw equal attention here. The Bangladesh Tigers' performance in the T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments generates its own interest. These are the competitions where 2222bet offers the most betting markets.
Football is also popular in Bangladesh alongside cricket. In football betting, a draw is a valid result — which is generally not the case in cricket. Sports like badminton, tennis or kabaddi have fewer markets but live odds are available. Just as cricket has an over-by-over market, football has half-time and goalscorer markets.
Popular betting markets in cricket — how each one works
The six markets below are the most commonly used in cricket betting. Understanding how each one works makes it easier to decide when placing a bet.
Match Winner
Who will win the match — this is the simplest market. Pick Team A or Team B. In T20 there is no draw, so there are only two options. For example: if Team A's odds are 1.80 and Team B's are 2.00 — choosing Team B with a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,000 if Team B wins.
Toss Winner
A bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. This market gets extra attention when pitch conditions are significant. Toss betting is short-term and the result is known within the first few minutes of the match.
Top Run Scorer
Pick which batsman will score the most runs for their team. This is a team-level market, so you choose one player from within the team. In T20 this market can change quickly as batting order has an impact.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific run line and you bet on whether the total runs scored will be more (over) or less (under) than that figure. For example: if the line is 160 runs and Team A scores 172, the over bet wins.
Multi Bet (multiple bets combined)
Results from multiple matches are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply to give a larger return. For example: three selections at odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.80 — combined odds are 3.78, so a ৳100 bet returns ৳378 if all win.
At what score will the first wicket fall
Choose a range for the score at which the batting team's first wicket will fall. If the bowlers are strong in the powerplay, the chance of an early wicket in this market is higher. This is a prop market and does not depend on the main match result.
Odds are written in three formats — how to read them
Odds appear in three formats across different platforms. Decimal format is the most common on 2222bet, but knowing all three means you can read any odds without difficulty.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Odds for Team B to win | Example (৳1,000 bet) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.80 | If Team A wins, return is ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 4/5 | If Team A wins, ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked; if Team B wins, ৳4 profit for every ৳5 staked |
| American | +200 | -125 | +200 means ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet; -125 means you need to bet ৳125 to make ৳100 profit |
Example 1 — Underdog odds
Team A's odds to win are 3.00 in decimal, 2/1 in fractional, +200 in American. A ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳3,000 if Team A wins (৳2,000 profit plus ৳1,000 stake). If Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is lost.
Example 2 — Favourite odds
Team B's odds to win are 1.80 in decimal, 4/5 in fractional, -125 in American. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if Team B wins (৳800 profit). American minus odds show how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit — in this case, ৳125.
Live betting — how odds change during the match
In-play or live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds drop immediately; when runs come quickly in the powerplay, the odds shift. New markets open after each over.
In the last five overs of a T20, if a batsman is set, the odds for the team that is behind can suddenly drop and become attractive. In Test cricket, when pitch behaviour changes across a day's session, that is reflected in the in-play odds as well. The point of live betting is that you can make decisions with the match context in front of you.
Keep in mind that in-play odds can close quickly — markets are suspended for a few seconds especially just before or after a wicket falls. You can view live markets directly in the betting section at 2222bet.
Some useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — there is no guarantee of profit. Keeping the following points in mind helps make the experience more organised.
- Understand the format of a match first — the same markets do not work the same way in T20 and Test. An over/under line is set much higher in T20.
- Stick to a budget. Decide in advance how much you will play in each session. Following the responsible gaming guidelines is in your own interest.
- In a multi bet, every selection must be correct. Even if two feel certain, the whole bet is lost if the third does not win — keep that risk in mind.
- In live betting, do not rush — wait for the odds to settle. Odds are unstable immediately after a wicket falls.
- Decimal odds are easy to read — multiply directly to get the total return. Beginners should start with this format.
- Read the betting terms and conditions carefully. All details are available on the terms and conditions page.

Football Betting
In football, a draw is a separate result alongside the match winner, so the 1X2 market has three options. Handicap, first goalscorer and total goals over/under are available — similar to the range of markets in cricket. In live football betting, odds shift noticeably after every goal.
Other Sports
Betting markets are also available for tennis, badminton and volleyball. Set-by-set markets and game totals are well known in tennis. If you are interested in casino games, the 2222bet Casino section has live dealer tables and slots. Sports betting and casino — both experiences on one platform.
