okzz Cricket Betting — Bet on Every Format from T20 to Test
From BPL and IPL to the T20 World Cup — okzz offers betting across multiple markets for every major cricket event. You will find live betting, match winner, top batsman and many more options here.
Cricket Betting Formats and Tournaments
Cricket has three international formats — T20, ODI and Test — and each offers a different betting experience. T20 matches finish in just a few hours, so results come quickly. The situation shifts after every over and odds move fast. This is the most popular format among Bangladesh fans.
In a 50-over ODI, target and run-rate calculations become more complex, which enriches the betting markets. Test cricket is a five-day contest — a draw is a valid result, so you can bet on three separate outcomes.
Among tournaments, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL attract the most interest from local bettors. okzz also keeps multiple markets open for the ICC T20 World Cup and bilateral series.
How Cricket Betting Differs from Football and Other Sports
Cricket Betting
No draw in T20, only win or lose. Three outcomes in Test. Over-based markets, wicket bets and partnership markets are unique to cricket.
Football Betting
In a 90-minute match there are usually three outcomes — win, lose or draw. Markets such as handicap, number of goals and corner kicks are also popular.
Other Sports
Tennis, badminton and kabaddi offer set-by-set markets. Outcomes and markets are built around each sport's own rules.
Popular Betting Markets
okzz keeps several markets open for every cricket match. Below are the seven most commonly used markets with a brief explanation of each.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win the match. Only two outcomes in T20 and ODI; three in Test.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss — a purely 50/50 market that is settled before the match begins.
Top Batsman
Pick which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings. Batting order and pitch conditions matter here.
Total Runs — Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs scored in the allotted overs will be above (over) or below (under) a set number.
First Wicket
On which delivery the first wicket will fall, or who will take it — this type of specialty market is more common in live betting.
Multi Bet
Multiple matches or markets are combined into a single bet. If every selection is correct you win at the combined odds; if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Innings Runs
Bet on how many total runs a team will score in a specific innings — this market is especially popular in limited-overs cricket.
How to Read and Understand Odds
Betting platforms generally display odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. Decimal odds are the easiest to understand and are used most on Asian betting sites.
Example 1 — Team A wins, stake ৳1,000:
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150.
If the bet wins, total return is ৳2,500 (profit ৳1,500 + original ৳1,000). If the bet loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B wins, stake ৳1,000:
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125.
A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. If the bet wins, total return is ৳1,800 (profit ৳800).
All three formats express the same probability — only the presentation differs. okzz displays decimal odds by default, but the format can be changed in settings.
| Format | Team A | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 |
| American | +150 | -125 |
| Return on ৳1,000 stake | ৳2,500 | ৳1,800 |
Team A and Team B — the figures are examples only and do not represent any specific match or guaranteed return.
Live Betting — Odds Change Wicket by Wicket
In-play or live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. Odds change instantly when a wicket falls or a big shot is hit. For example, if two wickets fall in the first over, the odds for the batting team to win rise because their situation has become more difficult.
You have less time to decide in live betting. Odds can shift within seconds when a big partnership builds, a bowling change is made, or a DRS review is underway. For this reason it is a good idea to set a budget before you start live betting.
Over-by-over run markets are a popular live betting option. These small markets — how many runs will be scored in a specific over — require less information than betting on the full match, which is why many bettors prefer them.

Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
- Understand the format before choosing: T20 and Test markets are different. Powerplay and death overs matter most in T20; pitch conditions and weather are more relevant in Test.
- Focus on one market at a time: Rather than betting across many markets at once, gain experience with one or two first — match winner or total runs are good starting points.
- Set a budget: Decide how much you will bet before each session and stick to that limit. Betting is for entertainment — it is not a source of income.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combining selections increases the potential reward, but a single wrong pick means losing the entire bet. It is best not to add more than 3–4 selections.
- Be patient in live betting: Odds move fast, so instead of betting in a rush you can wait for the situation to settle a little.
- Keep a record: Tracking which markets you bet on, how much you staked and what the results were helps you understand your own habits.
Multi Bet Example
Three selections — decimal odds 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90 — combined in a multi bet give combined odds of approximately 4.79.
On a ৳100 stake, if all three selections are correct the return is ৳479. However, if any one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
The figures are examples only — Team A and Team B are fictional and this is not a guaranteed return.
