89 app Cricket Betting — Understand the Top Markets for BPL, IPL and International Matches
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, 89 app offers a wide range of betting markets across T20, ODI and Test formats. From match winner to live in-play — you can now follow every ball with a closer interest.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
T20
Fastest FormatIn this 20-over format, the situation can change in an instant. T20 is the most watched format in BPL and IPL, with every ball carrying excitement. From a betting perspective, odds move quickly in T20 — especially in live markets.
ODI
50 OversIn one-day cricket, team tactics are easier to read. Top batsman and total runs markets are popular in major ODI series including the ICC World Cup. Compared to five-day Tests, ODI results tend to be slightly less unpredictable.
Test
5 DaysIn Test cricket, a draw is a result alongside the match winner. Over five days, pitch conditions, weather, and batting lineups have a direct effect on betting markets. Test betting is the most analysis-driven format among cricket followers.
BPL, IPL and International Cricket
The BPL is the most familiar tournament for fans in Bangladesh. Interest peaks every season among Bangladeshi viewers. 89 app offers multiple markets for every BPL match.
Although IPL is India's franchise league, it is equally popular with viewers in Bangladesh. 89 app also offers cricket betting markets for international events such as the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy. Bangladesh Tigers matches typically have the most markets available.
Football and Other Sports
Football Alongside Cricket
Football is the second most popular sport in Bangladesh after cricket. Bangladeshi viewers follow the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and the FIFA World Cup closely. Football betting on 89 app covers match winner, both teams to score, and total goals markets.
The main difference between cricket and football is the time structure. In football, a draw between two sides within 90 minutes is possible, so there are more markets available. In cricket, especially T20, a tie or super over is rare, but a wicket has a faster effect on odds. Some local sports such as Kabaddi and Hockey also appear in the 89 app sports section from time to time.
Before placing a bet, it is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines, since every bet is a form of entertainment — not a guaranteed source of income.
Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting goes beyond just picking the match winner — markets are open for each innings, each over, and even the toss.
| Market | How it works | Example (in plain terms) |
|---|---|---|
| Match Winner | A bet on which team will win. No draws in T20 or ODI, so two options only. | Team A or Team B — pick one. |
| Toss | Which team will win the toss — a straightforward market, like a coin flip. | Both teams have roughly equal chances of winning the toss. |
| Top Batsman | Which batter will score the most runs — within one team. | Among three senior batters in Team A, who will score the most runs. |
| Total Runs (Over / Under) | Whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above or below a set number. | Whether Team A will score more than 165 runs in their first innings. |
| First Over Runs | How many runs will be scored in the first over of the match — settled very quickly. | Whether there will be 8 or more runs in the first over. |
| Top Wicket-Taker | Which bowler will take the most wickets — within one team. | Among Team B's bowlers, who will take the most wickets. |
| Multi Bet | Combining multiple markets multiplies the odds — but all selections must win. | Picking the winner of three matches together increases the combined odds. |

How to Read Odds
Betting platforms usually display odds in three formats: decimal, fractional, and American. All three express the same probability in different ways.
Example 1 — The same odds in three formats
Say you place a ৳1,000 bet on Team A to win. The odds in three formats:
- Decimal: 2.25
- Fractional: 5/4
- American: +125
All three are equal in value. If Team A wins, the return is ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳1,000.
Example 2 — Odds for the favourite
If Team B is the favourite, their odds are lower:
- Decimal: 1.50
- Fractional: 1/2
- American: -200 (the minus sign means how much you need to bet to win ৳100 profit)
On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins the return is ৳1,500 (৳500 profit). Because the favourite has lower odds, the profit is smaller even when you win.
Live In-Play — Bet During the Match
In live betting, markets remain open after the match has started. Every wicket, every boundary, or a big over can change the odds. This constant movement is what sets live betting apart.
For example: if Team A has scored 100 runs in 15 overs for 3 wickets, the situation looks difficult. Team B's match winner odds will shorten considerably, as their chances of winning have increased. On the other hand, if Team A hits boundaries consistently in the final 5 overs, the odds can shift back quickly.
Live markets also include detailed options such as runs in the next over, which bowler takes the next wicket, or whether there will be a six in a specific over. Decisions need to be made fast, as odds can change within seconds.
Keep in Mind Before Betting
- Place a bet only after you properly understand a market — spreading small bets across many markets at once makes it harder to keep track.
- Multi bets do multiply the odds, but one wrong selection means the entire bet is lost. Avoid multi bets on matches you are less familiar with.
- Avoid making decisions based on emotion during live betting. Rather than placing a large bet immediately after a wicket falls, take a moment to assess the situation.
- Set a daily budget. Once you reach that limit, stop for the day — betting is a form of entertainment, not a profession.
- In T20, pitch reports and toss results quickly affect the odds. Knowing this information before a match helps you understand the markets better.
- This platform is not for anyone under 21. All users aged 21 and above should bet for entertainment purposes only.
