takabat Cricket Betting — Top T20, ODI and BPL Markets
takabat offers detailed markets for T20, ODI and Test matches for cricket fans in Bangladesh. From BPL to ICC tournaments — odds for all formats in one place.
Cricket's three formats and tournaments popular with Bangladeshis
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, a match is more than just a game — every ball is a new opportunity. takabat offers betting markets across all three major formats.
T20 — The fastest and most popular format
In T20 cricket, runs, wickets and sixes all change quickly within 20 overs. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup top this list. Bangladeshi fans have a particular interest in BPL teams, and the odds on every match reflect that excitement.
ODI — 50 overs of tactical cricket
In One-Day International matches, teams' strategies are more defined. The ICC Champions Trophy, bilateral series and the ODI rounds of the World Cup each have their own separate markets. ODI cricket offers more opportunities to bet on top batters, leading wicket-takers or total match runs.
Test — Cricket of patience and analysis
A five-day Test match offers a different betting experience. The situation shifts each session, which makes live markets especially important here. Odds move quickly when a wicket falls or a partnership extends — this dynamic is what sets Test betting apart.
| Format | Main Tournaments | Betting Features |
|---|---|---|
| T20 | BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup | Fast odds movement, over-by-over markets |
| ODI | ICC World Cup, bilateral series | Mid-match strategy, top batter markets |
| Test | International Test series | Session-based markets, innings runs |
Football and other sports — alongside cricket
Alongside cricket, football markets are also available at takabat. Odds for European leagues and international matches are listed regularly. Match winner, number of goals and handicap markets are popular in football.
Cricket betting is somewhat different from football — cricket has specific markets such as over-by-over bets, partnership runs and number of wickets that football does not have. On the other hand, a draw is possible in cricket (only in Test matches), but in T20 or ODI one team must win — making the match winner market much more straightforward in those formats.
takabat is not limited to cricket or football — if you also want to experience casino games, the takabat Casino live and slots section is available separately. For those who prefer a different type of game, the slots section has hundreds of games.
7 popular markets that attract the most bets
takabat offers a wide range of cricket markets. Below is an introduction to the 7 most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. Example: Team A's odds to win are 2.10 — a ৳500 stake returns ৳1,050 if Team A wins.
Toss Winner
Who will win the toss before the match — both teams' odds are usually close to each other. This is not linked to the overall match result.
Top Batter
Which batter will score the most runs in the match — bets are placed on a specific player's name.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in an innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: total runs 160 over/under.
Top Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match — a specific cricket betting market that does not exist in other sports.
Powerplay Runs
How many total runs will be scored in the first 6 overs — very popular in T20 betting because fielding restrictions apply during this period.
Multi Bet
Bet on multiple matches or markets at once to create combined odds — see the FAQ below for a detailed example.
How to read odds — examples in three formats
Odds in betting are written in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. takabat generally uses the decimal format, but understanding all three makes it easier to compare odds.
Decimal, fractional and American — the same price, three forms
Team A to win — the same odds shown in three formats look like this:
A ৳1,000 stake returns a total of ৳2,500 if Team A wins (profit ৳1,500 + original ৳1,000 returned).
If Team A loses, ৳1,000 is lost.
Favourite's odds — how to read a minus American price
Team B is more expected to win, so the odds are lower — written with a minus sign in American format:
A minus American figure shows how much you need to stake to make a profit of 100.
A ৳1,000 stake returns a total of ৳1,800 if Team B wins (profit ৳800).
Live in-play betting — how odds change during a match
In-play betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress. In cricket this is especially engaging because odds change with every wicket, every boundary and at the end of every over.
For example, in a T20 if Team A has scored 130 runs for 3 wickets after 15 overs, their chances of winning increase and their odds shorten. Then if 2 more wickets fall in the next over, the odds can shift quickly in the other direction.
A reliable internet connection and the ability to make quick decisions matter in live betting. The takabat mobile app — available on both Android and iOS through official channels — is convenient for this. Find out more about the takabat App.

Practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. These tips will help keep the experience more organised.
Set a budget in advance
Decide how much you will stake before each match and stick to that limit. Trying to recover losses by placing more bets is the biggest problem in betting.
Focus on a market you know well
Rather than betting on match winner, toss, total runs and every other market at once, focusing on the market you understand best keeps the experience more disciplined.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets can offer large combined odds, but the risk is also higher — one wrong selection and the entire stake is lost. Starting with a small stake is the sensible approach.
Choose markets that suit the format
Powerplay runs or total sixes markets work well for T20; innings runs or session wickets markets offer a different kind of interest in Test cricket — matching the market to the format matters.
Avoid rushing in live betting
Odds move fast in in-play betting, so it is important to make decisions with a clear head. Placing large bets on impulse can lead to regret later.
Read the terms and conditions
Before placing a bet, read the site's terms and conditions carefully — especially the policies on in-play market cancellation and cashout conditions.
