mostplay Cricket Betting — BPL to T20 World Cup, all matches in one place
Whether it's the Bangladesh Tigers or the BPL — at mostplay, the odds shift with every ball. Bet across a range of markets from match winner to over/under runs, and make the most of live in-play betting.
Cricket's Three Formats and Betting
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it's a passion. BPL fills the stands in Dhaka, and when the Tigers win at the ICC T20 World Cup, the whole country celebrates together. At mostplay, you can bet on all three international formats, and each format has its own markets and betting approach.
| Format | Number of Overs | Betting Features | Popular Tournaments |
|---|---|---|---|
| T20 | 20 overs (per side) | Fast-paced game, odds move quickly; live betting is most popular | BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup |
| ODI | 50 overs (per side) | Middle-format; total runs and partnership markets are common | ICC World Cup, Asia Cup |
| Test | Up to 5 days | Long-form betting; draw is also a market outcome | ICC World Test Championship |
In T20, a single boundary or wicket can shift the odds instantly. In ODI, markets rely more on partnerships and run rates. In Test cricket, the match unfolds over five days, giving you time to read the game before betting. In BPL and IPL, both international stars and local players feature, making the markets more varied.
Besides cricket, mostplay also offers football betting. Football matches last just 90 minutes, a draw is a possible result, and odds move differently after a goal compared to cricket. Football handicap and Asian line markets do not apply to cricket. In addition, the virtual sports betting section lets you bet on simulated matches at any time — no live event required.
Popular Betting Markets
mostplay offers a range of markets for cricket betting. Each works differently — some cover the full match, while others are based on a specific innings or over.
- Match Winner: Which team will win — the simplest market. No draw in T20, so there are only two options.
- Toss Winner: Which team wins the toss — a completely separate market with no connection to the match result.
- Top Batsman: Which batter scores the most runs in an innings — individual player odds are listed for this market.
- Total Runs Over/Under: Whether the total runs in an innings or match will be above or below a set line — for example, if the line is 165 runs and you think more runs will be scored, choose 'Over'.
- First Wicket Method: How the first wicket will fall — caught, bowled, run out, and so on.
- Multi Bet (multiple selections): Combine predictions from several matches into one bet — if all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
- Betting Exchange: Bet not only on a team to win but also against them (lay bet) — bets are matched directly with other bettors.

How to Read Odds
Betting odds are displayed in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. mostplay typically shows decimal format, but knowing the others is useful.
Example 1 — Three formats for the same price
Stake ৳500 on Team A to win:
All three formats represent the same value — only the way they are written differs. If Team A does not win, the full ৳500 is lost.
Example 2 — Favourite's price
Stake ৳500 on Team B to win:
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. The favourite returns less because their chance of winning is considered higher.
A Wicket Falls and the Odds Move
Live in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket this is especially significant because the situation changes with every ball. A wicket falling or a big six in the powerplay can move the odds in an instant.
Consider this example — in the 15th over, a team has scored 90 runs and lost 5 wickets. The team that was favourite before the match may now become the underdog, and their odds will have risen considerably. These moments create opportunities to make decisions in live betting.
A few things to keep in mind for in-play betting: you have a limited time before a bet is locked, and even small changes like a bowling switch or a fielding position can affect the odds. The ability to make quick decisions matters here.

Some Practical Betting Tips
These tips help keep betting enjoyable and under control.
Understand the format before choosing a market
T20 and Test cricket play very differently. Scoring rates are higher in T20, so over/under lines are set accordingly. Focus on the format you know best.
Set a budget first
Decide on an amount you are comfortable losing. Betting is for entertainment — it is not a source of income. Visit the Responsible Gaming page for detailed guidance.
Be careful with multi bets
Adding more matches increases the potential return, but one wrong selection loses the entire bet. Start with fewer selections.
Avoid rushing in live betting
In-play betting comes with time pressure. Rather than acting the moment a wicket falls, take a moment to observe how the situation develops.
Compare odds
When the same market is shown in different formats, confirm the value is the same — Examples 1 and 2 above show how all three formats express the same value.
