Cricket Betting at i89 — Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport. From T20 to Test, BPL to ICC tournaments — multiple markets including match winner, toss and top batsman across all formats, all in one place.
Three Formats of Cricket and Popular Tournaments
T20 — The Fastest Format
Each team plays only 20 overs, so runs and wickets shift very quickly. BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the three tournaments most popular with Bangladeshi fans. T20 matches have the most betting markets because the situation can change with every over.
ODI — The One-Day Contest
In a fifty-over match, both strategy and consistency matter. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are played in ODI format. Bangladesh Tigers' ODI performances generate excitement across the country, which makes this format especially interesting for betting.
Test — The Patience Test
In this five-day format, the result is often decided in the final moments. Betting opportunities in Test cricket are different — you can analyse each innings, session and partnership separately. Test betting is a particular favourite among bettors who prefer a longer, more focused approach.
Betting on Cricket, Football and Other Sports
In cricket betting, only two outcomes are possible in a T20 or ODI match — a win or a loss (no draw), though in Test cricket a draw is also a valid result. This straightforwardness appeals to many bettors. Football, on the other hand, has three possible outcomes (win, draw, loss), so odds are structured a little differently.
In Bangladesh, there is the most interest in World Cup and Premier League football matches. Beyond football, i89 also offers betting on sports such as kabaddi and badminton. The type of betting varies by sport — cricket has markets like toss and top batsman, while football more commonly features first goalscorer and correct score.
Those who are also interested in casino games can try live casino and slot games at i89 Casino — it features games from multiple providers including Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
At i89 you can bet on multiple markets within a single match. Below is a brief explanation of the seven most common markets:
Match Winner
The simplest market — choose which of the two teams will win. Example: Team A vs Team B; if you pick Team B and Team B wins, you win.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team — Team A or Team B — will win the toss before the match begins. The toss outcome affects match strategy, which makes this a popular market.
Top Batsman
Which player will score the most runs for a given team in an innings. This market usually lets you pick any batsman from one team's batting lineup.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored in an innings or the entire match will be above or below a set number. For example: will the total runs in the match exceed 320?
Top Wicket-Taker
Predict which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings or the match. Assessing a team's pace and spin bowling strength is useful here.
Multi Bet
Combine multiple matches or markets for the chance of a larger return. All selections must be correct to win the full amount. If even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
How to Read Odds
Odds are expressed in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. i89 primarily uses decimal format, but knowing the other formats is helpful too.
| Format | Team A Odds | Team B Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.25 | Total return including stake (stake × odds) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/4 | Profit ÷ stake ratio |
| American | +200 | -400 | + means profit on a ৳100 bet; − means how much you need to bet to profit ৳100 |

Live In-Play Betting — Bet While the Match Is On
Live in-play is the most engaging betting experience in cricket. After the match starts, every wicket, every over and every big shot changes the odds instantly.
Say Team A is batting and has lost 2 wickets in the first 5 overs — Team A's match winner odds will naturally rise because they are under pressure. Conversely, if a Team A batsman hits three sixes in a row, their odds will shorten. Understanding these shifts is at the heart of in-play betting.
A few things to keep in mind for in-play betting:
- 01 Live odds change very quickly, so if you take too long to decide, a market may close before you can place your bet.
- 02 Consider pitch conditions, weather and the match situation together — looking only at the scoreboard does not give you the full picture.
- 03 Markets move the most in the middle overs (overs 20–40 in ODI, overs 7–15 in T20).
- 04 In the death overs, the total runs over/under market becomes particularly interesting.
Those who enjoy card games alongside sports can check out the Teen Patti Joker game — it is a very popular card game in Bangladesh.

A Few Things to Know Before You Start Betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — it should never be thought of as a reliable source of income. Keeping the following in mind will make the betting experience better:
- 1 Set a budget: Keep a separate budget for betting and do not go beyond that limit. Betting is entertainment — not a necessary expense.
- 2 Start with one market: If you are new, begin with a straightforward market like match winner. Move on to more complex markets as you gain experience.
- 3 Read the stats: Knowing the team's recent form, pitch type and match conditions helps you make more informed decisions when placing bets.
- 4 Read the bonus terms: Before using any bonus, make sure you understand the wagering requirements. Full details are on i89's terms and conditions page.
- 5 Take breaks: Betting for long stretches reduces your ability to make good decisions. Taking regular breaks is a good habit. See the responsible gaming guidelines for more.
