Cricket Betting at zbuzz baji — BPL to T20 World Cup — bet on every match
Cricket is more than a game — it is Bangladesh's passion. At zbuzz baji, choose from multiple markets on every match. Live odds, live in-play betting and easy deposit options are all in one place.
Cricket Formats and Competitions — what to bet on in each
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, One Day (ODI) and Test. Each format has its own pace and strategy, and the betting markets differ accordingly.
T20 is the fastest and most action-packed format. Matches finish in just 20 overs, so the game can turn on any single ball. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup are the three competitions that draw the most interest from Bangladeshi fans. The run rate shifts quickly in T20, making it especially suited to live betting.
ODI is the middle format — a 50-over match that allows more room for strategy. The ICC World Cup, Champions Trophy and bilateral series are all played in this format. Bangladesh Tigers' ODI performances carry a special emotional weight for fans at home.
Test is cricket's longest and most patient format — played over five days, with a draw as a possible result. There is no draw in ODI or T20, so the market structure is different. In Test cricket the match winner market has three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw.
Football and other sports can also be bet on at zbuzz baji. Football markets are based on regulation time and a draw is a common result — which differs from ODI or T20 cricket betting where a definitive result is the norm.

Popular Betting Markets — how to bet on each
Cricket betting is not just about "who will win" — you can bet in different ways across various markets. The most common markets are explained below.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which of the two teams will win. ODI and T20 have just two options; Test has three (Team A wins / Team B wins / Draw).
Simple MarketToss Winner
A separate market on which team will win the toss before the match starts. Example: Team A has a 50% chance of winning the toss and so does Team B — both options are available at roughly equal odds.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. Example: three batsmen from Team A are listed — if the one you back scores the highest runs, you win the bet.
Team MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the combined runs of both teams will be above or below a set number. Example: the line is 320.5 runs — if you choose Over, the combined total must be 321 or more.
Score MarketMulti Bet
Combine bets from multiple matches on one slip. Example: three matches at odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80 — combined odds are 4.59, so a ৳100 stake returns ৳459 — but all three must win; if any one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple SelectionsInnings Run Line / Handicap
A virtual head start or deficit is applied to a team to level the betting. Example: if Team A is given a -10 run handicap and wins by 15 runs in reality, their margin in the handicap market is only 5 runs.
HandicapHow to Read Odds — Decimal, Fractional and American
Odds confuse many people — but all three formats carry the same information and only differ in how they are expressed. At zbuzz baji you can use whichever format you prefer.
Here is an example. Say you are placing ৳1,000 on Team A to win:
- Decimal 2.50 — total return ৳2,500 (profit ৳1,500 + original stake ৳1,000)
- Fractional 3/2 — the same result, presented differently
- American +150 — profit of ৳150 on a ৳100 stake
The favourite's odds are generally lower. Example: Team B's decimal odds are 1.25 — a ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,250 (only ৳250 profit). In American format that is -400, meaning you must stake ৳400 to profit ৳100.
For detailed rules, read the Terms and Conditions.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 | Total return = stake × odds |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 | Profit / stake ratio |
| American | +150 | -400 | + means profit, − means required stake (based on ৳100) |
Live In-Play Betting — place bets while the match is on
In-play betting is the most dynamic cricket betting experience. You can place bets after the match has started, and the odds shift after every wicket, every six and every powerplay.
Example: if Team A reaches 120 runs for 3 wickets in 15 overs of the first innings, their win probability rises and their odds shorten. If two quick wickets then fall, the odds shift again. Watching these changes in real time and placing bets accordingly is what makes in-play betting appealing.
In live betting you must decide quickly because odds change every moment. Set your budget before you start and do not go beyond your plan. Read the Responsible Gaming Guide to learn about responsible betting.
Alongside cricket, zbuzz baji also offers live dealer games at the Vivo Live Casino — where real-time gameplay is a completely different experience.
Some things that are useful to know about betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — no one can guarantee a profit. Keeping the following in mind will help you have a better experience.
Choose markets based on the format
The match winner market is straightforward in T20 and ODI. In Test cricket a draw is a possible result — keep the market structure in mind.
Set your budget in advance
Decide how much you will bet in each session before you start. It is better not to place extra bets to recover losses.
Be careful with multi bets
Combined odds can show a large return, but if even one selection loses the entire bet is gone — understand this risk before choosing.
Try different markets
Do not limit yourself to match winner — take a look at total runs, top batsman or the toss market too — variety makes betting more interesting.
Keep a betting record
Track how much you staked and how much you won or lost — keeping your own records helps you see where you need to be more careful.

Lay Bet: bet that Team A will not win — against a backer staking ৳1,000, your liability is ৳800 (৳1,000 × 0.80). If Team A does not win, you receive ৳1,000 minus commission; if Team A wins, you must pay ৳800.
Commission applies on exchanges and lay bets carry an upfront liability — make sure you understand these points before placing a bet.
