Cricket Betting at ba 99 — Find the Best Markets for BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test, from BPL to the T20 World Cup — ba 99 offers a wide range of markets, live betting and easy payment options across every cricket format.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
Cricket betting covers three main formats — T20 ODI Test — and the way you bet differs across each one.
T20 is the fastest format. Results come within 20 overs, so market conditions shift with every ball. BPL and IPL are the two most popular leagues in this format. BPL holds special interest for Bangladeshi fans because local players take part directly.
ODI gives each team 50 overs. Because the game calls for planning and patience, markets on total runs, partnerships or runs in a specific over are particularly popular.
Test cricket runs over five days. A draw is a valid result, so the market has three options (Team A wins / Team B wins / Draw). The T20 World Cup and various ICC international series are also covered on ba 99.

Popular Betting Markets
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. There are no draws in T20 or ODI, so you choose between just two options. Example: in Team A vs Team B, if you pick Team B, you win only if Team B wins.
Toss Winner
A market on which team will win the toss. The outcome is entirely separate from the match result. The toss market can become significant when pitch conditions are a factor.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings. One player is chosen from within a team. If they are dismissed or retired out, the runs scored up to that point are counted.
Total Runs Over / Under
Will the total runs in a match (or a specific innings) be above or below a set number — that is the over/under market. Example: if the over/under for total runs in a T20 match is set at 315, an over bet requires the combined total to reach 316 or more.
Multi Bet
Multiple bets can be combined on a single ticket. If each selection is correct, the odds of each result are multiplied together. If any one selection is wrong the entire ticket is lost, but if all are correct the return is much higher.
Handicap Betting
To reduce the gap in strength between two teams, the weaker side is given a notional run advantage. This brings the odds for both teams closer together and makes any match a more challenging market.
Understanding the Three Odds Formats
The odds for the same match can be written in three different ways. Once you understand one, converting to the other two is straightforward. The examples below are based on betting on Team A to win:
| Format | Team A Odds | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | The total multiplier on your stake. A ৳200 bet returns ৳450 if you win. |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked. A ৳200 bet gives ৳250 profit + ৳200 stake = ৳450. |
| American | +125 | A positive number shows the profit on a ৳100 stake. Here, ৳100 returns ৳125 profit. |
Example 1 — Betting on Team A to win (৳200)
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If you win, total return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake); if you lose, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — Betting on favourite Team B to win (৳200)
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. A negative American number shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. Here, a ৳200 bet returns ৳300 in total (৳100 profit).
On ba 99, odds for every market update in real time. During large matches with live betting active, new odds appear after every ball.
A multi bet with three selections — for example decimal 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.90 (approximately) — on a ৳100 stake returns ৳490 if all are correct; if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting
Why do odds change during a match?
In in-play betting, every wicket, every six or no-ball has an immediate effect on the odds. Say Team A has scored 60 runs for 3 wickets in 10 overs — in that situation, Team A's odds of winning will lengthen compared to before, because they are under more pressure.
As the required run rate rises in the final overs, the batting team's odds become harder. The bowling team's odds then look more attractive. Decisions in live markets need to be made quickly — if you can read the flow of the match, the market becomes easier to follow.
In Test cricket, pitch type, weather and the result of each session all affect the odds. Pace bowlers tend to have more advantage in the morning session — wicket markets are most active at that time.
In-play markets for major cricket matches are available in the live section on ba 99. Detailed information about the in-play section can be found on the Sports Betting page.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, ba 99 also offers football betting. Football has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Because of this, odds for each team are calculated differently from cricket.
Handicap, both teams to score (BTTS) and correct score markets are well known in football. While cricket markets focus on runs and wickets, in football you can also bet on corner kicks or cards.
On ba 99, selections from different sports can be combined in a single multi bet. Pick one from cricket and one from football, place them in a combined bet, and the odds are multiplied together.

Things to Keep in Mind Before Betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind makes for a better experience:
- Set a budget: Decide on a limit for yourself in advance and stick to it. Following the responsible gaming guidelines is always a good idea.
- Understand the format: Odds and markets for the same team can be completely different in T20 and Test. Make sure you are clear on which format you are betting on.
- Be careful with multi bets: Adding more selections increases the potential return, but if any one is wrong the entire ticket is lost. Starting with 2–3 selections is the sensible approach.
- No rushing in live betting: Odds change fast in-play. Take time to read the situation before placing a bet rather than acting in a hurry.
- Try different markets: Beyond match winner, gain experience with markets like total runs or top batsman as well.
- Respect the age limit: Betting is not permitted for those under 21. ba 99 asks all users to follow the applicable rules.
