Formats and Tournaments

Cricket's three formats and Bangladesh's favourite tournaments

wj cricket match live betting moment

Cricket is more than just a sport in Bangladesh — it carries a deep emotional connection. At wj you can bet across three formats, each with its own character and strategy.

T20: In the shortest format, every ball matters. Over/under, six count and momentum shifts are the most active markets in 20-over cricket. BPL and IPL are the biggest events in this format.

ODI: In fifty-over matches, top batsman, partnership runs and mid-innings shifts are the markets that come alive. ODI betting has its own appeal in tournaments like the ICC Champions Trophy and the World Cup.

Test: Five-day cricket calls for a bit more patience with your bets. Beyond the match winner, first innings lead, session result and wicket markets are especially popular here.

The T20 World Cup is one of the most talked-about tournaments among Bangladeshi fans. You can bet on every edition of it easily at wj.

Sports Betting Comparison

How betting on cricket, football and other sports differs

Cricket Betting

Cricket betting is not limited to the single question of "who will win." Every over, every wicket, every batsman's performance — there are separate markets for all of these. There is no draw in T20, so you only need to choose between two outcomes.

T20 ODI Test

Football Betting

In football a draw is a real outcome, so betting covers three results — win, loss and draw. Goal markets, corners and cards require a different kind of analysis compared to cricket. The Premier League and Champions League are as popular in Bangladesh as they are worldwide.

Goal Markets Match Winner

Other Sports

In sports like tennis, badminton and kabaddi, matches are shorter, which makes in-play betting particularly engaging. Set or game winner markets here are structurally different from cricket or football markets. wj offers betting across multiple sports disciplines.

Popular Markets

The top 7 markets on wj cricket and how they work

An introduction to each market with a simple example — Team A and Team B are fictional examples, not references to real matches or players.

Market How it works Example
Match Winner Pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes; in Test there are three. Team A vs Team B — if you bet on Team A and Team A wins, the bet is successful.
Toss Winner Pick which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is completely independent of the match outcome. If Team A wins the toss, the bet is successful — even if Team B wins the match.
Top Batsman Which batsman will score the most runs in the match — in a specific innings or across the whole match. If a specific batting position in Team A scores the most runs, the bet is successful.
Total Runs Over/Under Pick whether the score will be above or below a set runs line. Total runs line 165 — "Over" means more than 165 runs will be scored.
First Wicket Fall At how many runs or in which over the first wicket will fall — this market is active at the start of the match. Will a wicket fall within the first 2 overs — pick yes or no.
Top Wicket Taker Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. If a bowler from Team B takes 3 or more wickets in the match, the bet is successful.
Multi Bet Bet on several markets at once — if all selections are correct, you receive the combined return. Team A wins the match + Team A's batsman scores the most runs — the bet is successful only if both are correct.
Understanding Odds

How to read decimal, fractional and American odds

Example 1 — Team A to win, stake ৳200

Decimal 2.50
Fractional 3/2
American +150

All three formats represent the same outcome. On a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins the total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake); if Team A loses, ৳200 is lost.

In American format, "+" means how much profit you make on a ৳100 bet — here +150 means ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet.

Example 2 — Team B to win (favourite), stake ৳200

Decimal 1.50
Fractional 1/2
American -200

Favourites have lower odds. On a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins the total return is ৳300 (৳100 profit).

In American format, "-" means how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit — -200 means you need to bet ৳200 to make ৳100 profit.

wj odds formats and sports betting screen

Decimal odds are the easiest to read — just multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return. wj shows decimal as the default format.

Live Betting

Odds change when a wicket falls — how in-play betting works

Live

In-play betting means betting while the match is in progress — odds change ball by ball, over by over. When a wicket falls, the batting team's return drops and the bowling team's rises. A big six reverses that.

For example — if Team A is 120/2 after 15 overs, the odds for their final score crossing the over line will be at a certain level. If 2 wickets fall in the next over, those odds will shift quickly.

A few things to keep in mind for in-play betting:

  • Odds change very fast — there is little time to decide
  • Odds before and after a wicket falls can be completely different
  • The most market movement happens during the powerplay and death overs
  • If a match is suspended, the over and ball at that moment are used to settle earlier bets

Smart Betting

5 practical tips that help with cricket betting

01
Treat betting as entertainment

Cricket betting is not a guaranteed way to make money. It is a way to add to the enjoyment of a match — keep within a set budget.

02
Focus on one format first

T20, ODI and Test markets each require a different kind of analysis. Focusing on one format to start with helps you understand the markets better.

03
Risk increases with multi bets

Multi bets offer higher returns, but one wrong selection loses the entire bet. More selections means more risk.

04
Keep track of pitch and weather conditions

On a spin-friendly pitch, over/under markets behave differently. A rain forecast can directly affect total runs markets.

05
Bet responsibly

Betting is for ages 21+. Avoid betting to try to recover money you have lost. See the responsible gaming guidelines for more information.

Common Questions

What you want to know about cricket betting

In T20, because matches are shorter, markets for each over and each ball are more active — sixes, runs per over and over/under are especially popular here. In ODI, partnership runs, session winner and total runs over fifty overs are more common markets. In both formats, match winner and top batsman markets remain active.

Yes, BPL and IPL matches are available for live in-play betting at wj. Odds update after every over while the match is in progress. Events like a wicket falling, the end of a powerplay or a big six directly change the odds and open up new markets.

A multi bet lets you combine several selections together. However, if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Adding more selections increases the combined odds but reduces the chance of winning. For example — three selections with decimal odds of 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 (rounded), so a ৳100 bet returns ৳459, but if even one selection is wrong the full ৳100 is lost.

If a match is stopped midway due to rain or any other reason, settlement rules depend on the type of bet and the state of play at that moment. Some markets are settled once a set number of overs are completed; others are voided and the stake is refunded. Read the terms and conditions for full details.
