Cricket Betting at x baj — the best betting experience for BPL, IPL and international matches
x baj brings cricket fans in Bangladesh betting coverage across all major tournaments. T20, ODI, Test — every format has a range of markets from match winner to live betting.
Why cricket betting is so popular in Bangladesh
Cricket betting available across multiple formats
Cricket is the most talked-about sport in Bangladesh. From the streets of Dhaka to village grounds, people follow the game closely. x baj cricket betting has become a natural form of entertainment for fans who want to engage with that interest.
Cricket has three distinct formats — and the type of bets available varies across each:
- T20: The fastest format, with matches ending in just 20 overs, so market movements are much sharper. BPL and IPL are both played in this format and are the most familiar to Bangladeshi fans.
- ODI: The pace is slightly slower in 50-over matches, but there are more opportunities in markets like total runs, partnerships and top batsman. The T20 World Cup and ICC events drive strong betting interest in this format.
- Test: In this five-day format, a draw is possible alongside a win or loss — making it three potential outcomes. Test cricket offers a different experience for those who enjoy following a match patiently.
Bangladeshi bettors are most active during each BPL season. Bangladeshi players featuring in the IPL and the Tigers' performances in ICC tournaments also consistently create extra attention in the betting markets.
Betting on football and other sports
Alongside cricket, x baj also offers betting on football and other sports. Football has markets like match winner, total goals and handicap, but the key difference from cricket is the number of outcomes — football has win, lose or draw, whereas T20 and ODI have no draw, so bets are placed on just two outcomes.
When the sport changes, so does the betting approach. In cricket, the over-by-over situation shapes the market; in football, odds shift quickly when a goal is scored. Understanding each sport's own pace helps you enjoy betting more.
Popular betting markets in cricket
Multiple betting markets are available for cricket matches at x baj. Each market works differently — below are seven popular markets explained with simple examples:
Match Winner
Betting on which of the two teams will win the match. Example: in a match between Team A and Team B, if you back Team B and they win, your bet is successful.
Easiest to understandToss Winner
Betting on which team will win the toss before the match starts. Because the result is entirely random, this is popular for a quick bet. Example: Team A wins the toss — yes or no.
Quick resultTop Batsman
Betting on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the entire match. This market is about picking the standout performer within a team.
Skill-basedTotal Runs Over / Under
Betting on whether the total runs in an innings will be over or under a set number. Example: will the first innings total be over or under 165 — this depends entirely on the team's batting performance.
Pitch-sensitiveMulti Bet
Placing bets on multiple matches or markets at once — if all selections win, the return is much larger. Example: pick outcomes for three separate matches, and all three must be correct for the full bet to pay out.
High risk-returnInnings Over Runs
Betting on how many runs will be scored in a specific over — for example, total runs in the powerplay (overs 1–6). Results come quickly, early in the match.
Popular in live bettingHandicap Betting
The weaker team is given a head start in runs to level the contest. Example: if Team A is given a 15-run handicap, your handicap bet on them wins only if they win by more than 15 runs.
CompetitiveHow to read odds — three formats
Understanding odds is important before placing a cricket bet. x baj displays odds in three formats. Here is a simple example to explain each:
Say you want to back Team A to win and your bet amount is ৳500. The odds for this match might be shown in three formats like this:
| Format | Odds | Result (on a ৳500 bet) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | If you win, total return is ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 stake); if you lose, ৳500 is gone |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Same outcome — ৳750 profit on a ৳500 bet |
| American | +150 | A plus sign means ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet; on ৳500 the profit is ৳750 |
Now look at an example for the favourite. Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower:
| Format | Odds | Result (on a ৳500 bet) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | If you win, total return is ৳900 (৳400 profit); if you lose, ৳500 is gone |
| Fractional | 4/5 | Same outcome — ৳400 profit on a ৳500 bet |
| American | -125 | A minus sign means you need to bet ৳125 to win ৳100 profit |
These figures are examples only — actual market odds change constantly based on conditions.
Learning to read odds makes betting clearer
Live betting — place bets while the match is on
Odds shift when a wicket falls — why live betting is different
In-play or live cricket betting moves faster than in almost any other sport. That is because the market changes after every over, every wicket and every big shot.
Example: in a T20 match, Team A has scored 95 runs in 10 overs, but then two quick wickets fall — Team A's win odds will rise immediately and Team B's will drop. The top batsman market odds for any opener who could score a century will also shift at that moment.
Watching the match closely is important for live betting. If the opening partnership is going well after the powerplay, total runs market conditions will change quickly. Similarly, if overs are reduced due to rain, the DLS target changes, which also affects live markets.
In x baj's live betting section you can see the match score and over-by-over statistics while placing your bets. The ability to make quick decisions is useful here.

Useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience better:
T20, ODI and Test each have different rules and pace. Focus on the format you understand best first. Starting with a familiar tournament like BPL or IPL makes it easier to follow the markets.
Decide on a fixed amount for betting and do not go beyond it. Count each bet separately — rather than placing many bets at once, keep to one or two markets at a time.
Combining multiple matches raises the potential return, but if even one selection loses, the entire bet is lost. Instead of staking large amounts on multi bets, try them with smaller amounts first.
Ground conditions directly affect the score in cricket. On a pitch that helps spinners, a lower total runs score is more likely. This information is useful when betting on the total runs market.
Enjoy betting as part of your entertainment. Avoid placing large bets in an attempt to recover losses. Read our responsible gaming guidelines for more details.
Before you start betting, read the site's terms and conditions once. It is worth knowing how results are determined in each market and what happens to a bet in special situations such as a match cancellation.
