T20, ODI and Test — how betting differs across three formats
Cricket's three international formats — T20, One Day International (ODI) and Test match — each have their own character, so the betting markets differ too. A T20 match is decided within a few hours, which is why in-play market demand is highest in this format. Tournaments like BPL and IPL are played in T20 format, making them especially popular among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI matches have 50 overs, so odds shift considerably mid-match. Market prices in the second innings change based on the first innings run total. Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup receive special attention on parimatch apps.
Test matches run over five days and a draw is possible, so markets cover three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Alongside match winner, series-wide markets are also available in this format.
Beyond ICC tournaments, parimatch apps opens special markets around BPL and IPL. Because these tournaments run for a limited period, every match carries more weight and betting market movements are also faster.
How betting on football and other sports differs
Alongside cricket, football betting is also available on parimatch apps. A football match has three outcomes over 90 minutes — home win, away win and draw — so the odds structure is different from T20 cricket. Because goals are relatively few in football, over/under markets typically revolve around 2.5 goals.
In cricket, wickets and runs both happen at specific moments, so live betting odds change quickly. In football there are long gaps between goals, so odds move more slowly by comparison. Sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi have set-based markets that are completely different from cricket's innings-based markets.
Before you start betting, it is worth reading the terms and conditions once — all the details are on the parimatch apps terms and conditions page.
7 popular cricket betting markets
Each market works differently — some are most active before the match, others are available in-play too.
Who will win?
The simplest market — bet on whether Team A or Team B will win. In T20 there is no draw, so there are only two options.
Who will win the toss?
Bet on which team — A or B — wins the toss. This market is settled before the main match even begins.
Who will score the most runs?
Which batsman in an innings will score the highest for their team — openers versus middle order come into play in this market.
More or fewer than the set run line?
For example, "Will Team A score more than 170 runs?" — the bookmaker sets a run line and the player picks over or under.
Multiple matches combined
Bet on three different matches at once — if all win, the odds multiply for a bigger return. Lose even one and the whole bet is gone.
Run handicap
The weaker team is given an artificial run advantage. If Team A has a −15 run handicap, they must win by 16 or more runs to cover it.
Who leads in bowling?
Which bowler takes the most wickets in an innings — the team's pacer versus spinner — this market is popular with cricket-savvy bettors.
Decimal, fractional and American — three ways to read odds
The same odds can be written in three different formats. On parimatch apps you can view whichever format you are most comfortable with. The two examples below make the difference clear.
Example 1 — ৳500 bet on Team A to win
| Format | How it looks | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳2.25 returned for every ৳1 bet |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit on a ৳4 bet |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Bet ৳500 and if Team A wins you get back ৳1,125 (৳625 profit plus your original ৳500 stake). If Team A loses, the ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B
| Format | How it looks | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | ৳1.25 returned for every ৳1 bet |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳1 profit on a ৳4 bet |
| American | -400 | You need to bet ৳400 to win ৳100 |
A minus sign in American format means that team is the favourite. A ৳500 bet on Team B winning returns ৳625 (৳125 profit plus your original ৳500). Lower odds mean lower profit because that team is considered more likely to win.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — in-play betting LIVE
Live betting means placing a bet while the match is in progress. In cricket every delivery is an event — hit a four and the odds move one way, a wicket falls and they change completely. On parimatch apps these changes are reflected in the live market almost instantly.
Say Team A has made a good start in the first 10 overs. Their pre-match odds of 2.10 could drop to 1.60 after a strong performance. Conversely, if Team A loses 3–4 wickets quickly, the odds could jump to 3.50 or higher.
To catch these over-by-over shifts you need to watch the match while you bet. In-play betting leaves less time to decide, so it helps to set your budget before placing any bets.

In-Play Tips
- Use the powerplay run rate to consider over/under markets
- Odds move quickly right after a wicket falls
- Markets become more volatile in the death overs
- A few smaller bets give you more control than one large bet
Some useful pointers for cricket betting
- 01 Understand the match format first. T20 and Test markets work completely differently — the same approach does not apply to both.
- 02 Set a fixed budget before you bet and never exceed it. Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income.
- 03 In a multi bet the reward is bigger if all matches win, but lose even one and everything is gone. Adding more selections also increases the risk.
- 04 The toss market is completely independent of match performance. Pitch conditions or weather do not affect toss odds.
- 05 You have less time to decide in live betting. Analyse the odds calmly rather than placing a large impulsive bet.
- 06 Decimal odds of 1.xx mean favourite — lower risk, lower profit. 3.xx or higher means underdog — higher risk, higher potential profit.
