Cricket Betting at khelo – Bet on the Best Markets for T20, ODI and BPL
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, khelo offers a wide range of betting markets covering T20, ODI and Test matches. From BPL to the T20 World Cup — bet on your favourite team in every major tournament, easily and securely.
Cricket's three formats and popular tournaments
The first step in cricket betting is understanding the formats — because each format has a different pace, strategy and type of result, which also affects the betting markets.
T20 is the fastest format. Results can change quickly in a 20-over match. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL (Indian Premier League) are the two most popular T20 tournaments, drawing the highest level of fan interest. The T20 World Cup features intense competition between international teams.
ODI (One Day International) is a 50-over match — a mix of strategy and patience. Among Bangladeshi fans, the ICC Champions Trophy and the ODI World Cup attract the most attention. Momentum shifts mid-innings, which makes those moments important for live betting.
Test cricket is the longest format, played over five days. A draw is also a possible result, so the betting market has three outcomes (Team A win, Team B win, draw). In Test matches, pitch conditions, weather and the pattern of play across sessions add a different dimension to betting.
In big cities like Dhaka, many people follow BPL season matches at the ground while also betting on khelo to stay even more closely connected to the game.
In T20 matches, the run rate changes quickly each over, so the value of bets can shift at any point in the match.
Betting on football and other sports
Alongside cricket, khelo also allows betting on football and other sports. In football, matches from the Premier League, La Liga and AFC Cup are available for betting. Because a draw is possible in football, a different approach is needed compared to cricket — especially T20-style two-outcome markets, which are more straightforward.
What makes cricket betting distinctive is its wider range of markets — not just match winner, but over-by-over runs, individual batsman scores, when a wicket falls, and many more options. Football is mainly built around goal totals and match result markets.
kabaddi, tennis and other sports also have markets available on a limited basis. However, cricket remains by far the most popular category among Bangladeshi bettors.
Football vs Cricket
- A draw is possible in football, not in T20
- Cricket has more variety in markets
- Live betting is active in both sports
- Odds change at the ODI mid-innings break
Popular betting markets and examples
Several markets are available for cricket betting at khelo. Below are seven popular markets explained briefly — the examples are only to clarify the concept; they are not live odds or any guarantee of winning.
Match Winner
A straightforward bet on which of the two teams will win. Example: Team A or Team B wins a T20.
T20 ODI TestToss
Which team will win the toss before the match starts. Results come quickly, which is why many people like this market.
Quick resultTop Batsman
Which batsman from a team will score the most runs in an innings. There is potential for higher odds here.
ODI TestTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in an innings or the full match will be above or below a set number. Example: whether Team A will score more than 160 runs in their first innings.
T20 ODIFirst Wicket
At what score the first wicket of the match will fall, or who will take it. This market tends to be more active during the powerplay in T20.
T20Multi Bet
Combining multiple bets into one with combined odds. You win the full bet only if all selections are correct — one wrong selection and the whole bet is lost.
High risk High returnPowerplay Runs
A bet on how many runs will be scored during the powerplay overs (usually the first 6 overs) in a T20 or ODI.
T20 ODIHow to read odds in three formats
Cricket betting odds are shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Team A value | Team B value |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/2 |
| American | +125 | -200 |
Example 1 — Team A wins (decimal 2.25): A ৳200 bet returns ৳450 if correct (৳250 profit + original ৳200 stake). If incorrect, ৳200 is lost.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B (decimal 1.50): Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower. A ৳200 bet returns ৳300 if correct (৳100 profit). In American format, -200 means you need to bet ৳200 to win ৳100 profit.
These numbers are examples only — not live odds or any guarantee of winning.
Live in-play betting — betting during the match
LIVE In-play betting means placing bets in real time while the match is in progress. Every time a wicket falls, after every big six or runout, odds change instantly.
In T20, if a team is batting at 7 wickets down after the powerplay, the opposing team's odds of winning shorten as their chances increase. Understanding these shifts makes in-play betting more engaging.
In ODI, odds change quickly in Duckworth-Lewis situations after the mid-innings break. In Test matches, if spinners gain an advantage on the fifth-day pitch, that is reflected in the live markets.
In-play betting requires focus and quick decisions. On khelo you can log in easily on mobile and join live markets at any time — access your account quickly from the khelo Login page.
What changes in in-play betting?
- A wicket falling raises the batting team's odds
- Consecutive boundaries lifting the run rate raises the bowling team's odds
- Immediate changes after a review or DRS result
- Markets may temporarily suspend if it rains or light fades
- Odds firm up once the target is clear in the final over

Understanding multi bet calculations
A multi bet (or accumulator) is a method of combining multiple bets into a single bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together to get the combined odds.
Example: three selections
Three selections across three separate matches — decimal odds: 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳513 if all three are correct. But if even one selection is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
These numbers are examples only. Actual odds vary by match and time.
The more selections in a multi bet, the higher the potential return — but the lower the chance of all of them being correct. New bettors may want to start with just two selections.
Key rules of multi betting
- All selections must win
- Odds are multiplied, not added
- One loss means the whole bet is lost
- More selections means more risk
