Which Cricket Matches Can You Bet On?
ndbd covers all major cricket formats and tournaments. Knowing the difference between formats helps you pick the right market — a T20 game moves faster and produces more swing in odds.
Twenty20
20 overs per side. Fast scoring, frequent momentum shifts. Markets close quickly — act before the toss.
One Day International
50 overs per side. More time to assess conditions. In-play markets stay open longer between overs.
Test Match
Up to 5 days. Draw is a real outcome. Pitch and weather matter more than in shorter formats.
Bangladesh Premier League
Bangladesh's top T20 franchise league. Local players and familiar venues — easier to research teams.
Indian Premier League
World's most-watched T20 league. Deep market coverage on ndbd: match winner, top batter, total runs and more.
World Cups & Series
T20 World Cup, Asia Cup, bilateral series. Outright tournament markets available weeks in advance.
Common Markets Worth Knowing
Each match offers many betting markets. Start with the three below — they are straightforward to understand and widely available on ndbd cricket.
| Market Name | What You Are Predicting | Best Format | Typical Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match Winner | Which team wins (or draw in Tests) | T20 / ODI / Test | Team A · Team B · Draw |
| Total Runs | Will combined runs be over or under a set line? | T20 / ODI | Over · Under |
| Top Batsman | Which player scores the most runs in an innings? | All formats | Player list (one winner) |
| Top Bowler | Which player takes the most wickets? | All formats | Player list (one winner) |
| First Over Runs | Total runs scored in the very first over | T20 | Over · Under a set number |
| Man of the Match | Which player is awarded MOTM? | T20 / ODI | Player list (one winner) |
How Do Decimal Odds Actually Work?
ndbd displays odds in decimal format. The number you see shows how much you get back for every ৳1 you stake — including your original stake. Here is how to calculate it.
Say Team A is priced at 1.85 and you stake ৳1,000.
Total return if Team A wins: ৳1,000 × 1.85 = ৳1,850
Profit: ৳1,850 − ৳1,000 (stake) = ৳850
Team B is priced at 3.20 and you stake ৳500.
Total return if Team B wins: ৳500 × 3.20 = ৳1,600
Profit: ৳1,600 − ৳500 = ৳1,100
Higher odds mean lower probability according to the bookmaker — but also higher potential reward. Odds change in real time based on team news, weather, and betting volume. The examples above are for illustration; ndbd does not guarantee any specific odds on any match.
| Odds Range | Implied Probability | What It Usually Means |
|---|---|---|
| 1.10 – 1.40 | 71% – 91% | Strong favourite — low profit margin |
| 1.41 – 1.90 | 53% – 71% | Moderate favourite — balanced risk/reward |
| 1.91 – 2.50 | 40% – 52% | Near even — closely contested match |
| 2.51 – 4.00 | 25% – 40% | Underdog — higher reward, higher risk |
| 4.01 + | Below 25% | Long shot — only bet with money you can afford to lose |

Six Practical Tips Before You Bet
These are not strategies promising wins — they are habits that help you make clearer decisions and stay in control of your bankroll.
Check the Playing XI Before Markets Open
Key player absences shift odds significantly. Confirm team announcements roughly 30–60 minutes before the toss.
Weather Affects ODI and Test Outcomes
Rain interruptions change run targets via Duckworth-Lewis. Check a reliable weather app before betting on day matches in Dhaka or Chittagong.
Start with Single Bets, Not Accumulators
Accumulator bets look exciting on paper. But each leg that goes wrong cancels the whole slip. Learn one market at a time before combining.
Head-to-Head Records Matter for T20
Some teams consistently outperform their ranking against specific opponents. Check recent H2H results — especially in the BPL where venues are familiar to local players.
Live Betting Moves Fast — Set a Limit First
In-play markets update with every ball. Decide your session budget before you open a live match. It is easy to over-stake when momentum swings.
Understand the Welcome Bonus Wagering
The ndbd first-deposit bonus carries a 17× wagering requirement. Sports bets typically contribute — but read the terms so bonus winnings make sense before you claim.
Keep Cricket Betting Fun — Know Your Limits
Betting should add to the enjoyment of watching cricket, not replace it with stress. These points are worth reading once before you place money on any match.
- Set a weekly or monthly budget before you deposit — and stick to it regardless of results.
- Do not chase losses. A losing run is normal; increasing stakes to recover losses almost always makes things worse.
- Avoid betting when you are tired, frustrated, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Treat winnings as a bonus, not as income you are counting on.
- If cricket betting stops being enjoyable, take a break. ndbd offers self-exclusion options on request via Live Chat.
18+ · Play Responsibly. ndbd cricket betting is for adults only. If you feel your betting is getting out of control, contact the ndbd support team via 24/7 Live Chat to request deposit limits or temporary account suspension.
