89bd Cricket Betting — Bet on All Formats from BPL to T20 World Cup
89bd brings full sports betting for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Bet across all three formats — T20, ODI, and Test — and enjoy live odds while the match is in progress.
Three Cricket Formats and Which Competitions Are Popular for Betting
One interesting aspect of cricket betting is that the three formats each have a different pace, number of markets, and betting style. Bangladeshi fans are especially interested in T20 and ODI, but the betting community stays active for Test matches as well.
T20 — Fast-Paced Betting
In a 20-over match, odds shift with every ball. BPL and IPL are the biggest events in this format — it is the most popular for live betting. Total runs and wicket markets refresh after every over.
ODI — 50-Over Strategy
One-day matches move more slowly than T20, so there are more markets around top batsman, centuries, and the over in which the first wicket falls. The T20 World Cup and ICC events also drive demand for ODI-format betting.
Test — Long-Match Betting
In five-day Test cricket, the possibility of a draw means the match winner market has three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. Series result and end-of-day score markets are a distinctive feature of Test betting.
BPL is Bangladesh's own T20 league — local bettors show the most interest in matches involving Dhaka teams. Alongside BPL, 89bd offers round-the-clock odds for IPL, T20 World Cup, and various international series.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, 89bd also offers betting on football and a few other sports. In football, match winner, number of goals, and handicap markets are most popular. The key difference between cricket and football betting is that football is typically low-scoring, so a single goal can shift the odds significantly, whereas in cricket the odds update continuously with every over and wicket.

Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
Cricket betting is not just about "who will win" — there are many types of markets. Here is a brief overview of the most familiar ones.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. Two outcomes in T20 and ODI; three in Test (Team A, Team B, or draw).
Toss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss — this is a separate bet unrelated to the match result. Odds for both teams are usually close to each other.
Top Batsman
A bet on which player will score the most runs in a specific innings. You can bet on multiple options, with separate odds for each name.
Total Runs Over/Under
The platform sets a line (for example, 160 runs). You decide whether the total runs will be above that (over) or below it (under).
Multi Bet
Placing bets on several matches together on one ticket. You only get a return if all selections are correct — one wrong pick and the entire bet is lost.
Over of First Wicket
A bet on which over the first wicket will fall in an innings — very popular in live betting, because the situation changes with every ball.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats Explained
Online betting odds are displayed in three different formats: Decimal, Fractional, and American. Once you are familiar with them, any format is easy to understand.
Example 1 — Bet on Team A to win, stake ৳1,000
Example 2 — Favourite Team B to win, stake ৳1,000
89bd generally uses the decimal format. To understand the general rules around betting, read the Terms and Conditions page.
Odds Shift When a Wicket Falls — In-Play Betting
Live betting is the most fast-moving experience in cricket. After the match starts, odds update in real time with every ball. When three wickets fall, the odds of the team whose chances have dropped increase — and that is exactly when new betting opportunities open up.
A few things to keep in mind to make live betting easier:
- If run pressure is high during the powerplay overs, odds on the over market drop quickly.
- A strong partnership in the middle overs brings down the winner odds for the batting team.
- As the required run rate rises in the last five overs, the odds for the bowling team improve.
- In Test cricket, the chance of wickets falling in fading light at the end of the day keeps live markets active.
While enjoying live betting, it is important to follow the responsible gaming guidelines. Always bet for entertainment — stay within a set budget.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Understand the Format Before You Bet
T20, ODI, and Test each have different rules — first understand which markets are most relevant for each format. The powerplay overs matter a great deal in T20, but that does not apply in the same way to Test.
Focus on One Market
If you are a new bettor, rather than spreading across many markets at once, get comfortable with match winner or total runs first. Move on to other markets once you have a good grasp of one.
Set a Budget
Decide in advance how much you will bet per day or per week. Enjoy betting within that limit — betting is entertainment, not a source of income.
Avoid Rushing in Live Betting
Even when odds are changing fast, analyse the situation before making a decision. Rather than placing many bets in the heat of the moment, take your time.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
Multi bets offer higher returns but also higher risk — one wrong selection and the whole bet is lost. Start by practising with just two selections.
Cricket Betting and Other Entertainment
Beyond sports betting, 89bd has plenty more to offer. If you enjoy slot games, you can choose from hundreds of slot titles. Live casino, card games, and fishing games are all available on the same platform.
Use the same account for all types of games — no separate login needed.

In standard betting you bet against the bookmaker. In a betting exchange you can bet directly against other bettors — there are two roles: BACK and LAY.
Example — Team A on a betting exchange, decimal odds 2.50
- BACK Team A (৳1,000 stake): If Team A wins, ৳1,500 profit before commission. If they do not win, you lose ৳1,000.
- LAY Team A (৳1,000 backer's stake): Your liability is ৳1,500 (৳1,000 × 1.50). If Team A does not win, ৳1,000 profit before commission; if Team A wins, you pay ৳1,500.
Liability can be high in exchange betting — so read the FAQ for details on balance and limits.
