Cricket Betting at cx — Place Bets on BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
Bet on every format of cricket. From match winner to live in-play, the betting markets at cx are straightforward and directly tied to the game you follow.
Cricket's Three Formats and the Tournaments Fans Follow Closely
To bet on cricket, you first need to understand the three main formats — T20, ODI, and Test — because the type of bet differs across each. T20 is the fastest, with a match finishing in just 20 overs, so every over and every wicket carries its own weight. In ODI or one-day matches, the full strategy plays out over 50 overs — the run rate in the middle overs and big hitting at the end influence betting decisions. Test cricket is a five-day contest where pitch behaviour and weather play a major role in the outcome of bets.
Among Bangladeshi fans, the most popular tournaments are the BPL, IPL, and ICC T20 World Cup. When the BPL season arrives, there is extra activity in the betting markets — team performance and individual markets stay very busy at the same time. The IPL's large franchise event features world-class cricketers, so the variety of markets in that tournament is also wider. When Bangladesh Tigers play in international matches, local bettors naturally pay closer attention.

Football and Other Sports Betting — How It Differs from Cricket
Beyond cricket, football is also a popular betting option at cx. In a football match, a draw is a separate outcome — so markets generally have three options: Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. In limited-overs cricket there is no draw, which makes the betting structure quite different.
Football has options like goal-line markets, corner counts, and card markets that do not exist in cricket. Cricket, in turn, has over-by-over runs, toss, and individual performance markets that are absent in football. Live betting is available in both sports, but in cricket the markets update after every ball — especially in T20.
Other sports markets beyond cricket and football are also available at cx. To understand the detailed betting rules, it is worth reading the Terms and Conditions page.
Popular Markets in cx Cricket — How Each One Works
Several types of markets are available for cricket betting at cx. Each market works differently — seven popular markets are briefly explained below.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes (no draw), so pricing is straightforward. Example: if you think Team A will win, place your bet on Team A.
T20 · ODI · TestToss Market
Decided before the match starts — which team will win the toss. This is an independent market unrelated to the match result. Regardless of pitch or weather, both options have roughly equal probability.
Before the MatchTop Run Scorer
A bet on which batsman within a team will score the most runs. This market is most informative once the playing eleven is confirmed before the innings begins.
Individual MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored will be higher or lower than a set number. For example, whether total runs will go above 165 — pitch conditions and the state of the pacers can be taken into account.
Handicap StyleMulti Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied together. Example: three selections at 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳428, but if even one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
High ReturnTop Wicket Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. On a pace-friendly pitch the market leans toward pacers; on a spinning track the value of spinners rises.
Bowling MarketThe seventh popular market is Series Winner — it covers, in a single bet, which team will win a multi-match series overall. Because it is a long-term market, the odds shift over time.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds — Three Formats Together
Different sites display odds in different formats. The examples below explain all three formats — the numbers are illustrative examples, not real odds.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/2 |
| American | +125 | -200 |
Example 1 — Team A wins, stake ৳200
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If the bet wins, total return is ৳450 (profit ৳250 + original stake ৳200). If the bet loses, ৳200 is lost.
Example 2 — Team B wins (favourite), stake ৳200
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. American minus odds mean how much you need to stake to make a profit of ৳100 — here it is ৳200. If the bet wins, total return is ৳300 (profit ৳100).
Which format is more practical?
Bangladeshi bettors generally find the decimal format easiest — you simply multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return. Fractional format is part of British tradition and calculates profit. American format uses plus or minus to indicate underdog or favourite.
Three selections combined in a multi bet: 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳428 if all are correct. If one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. It is worth keeping this in mind when enjoying a multi bet as entertainment.
In-Play Betting — How Odds Change When a Wicket Falls
Live or in-play betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. In cricket the situation changes after every ball, and the market odds update accordingly.
Say in a T20 the first team has lost 8 wickets and still needs 30 more runs. At that point the odds on the second team winning will drop noticeably — meaning they are now an even bigger favourite. Similarly, if a team scores heavily in the powerplay, their win probability rises in the betting market.
In over-by-over markets, this movement is even faster. Markets on how many runs will be scored in an over, or whether the bowler will take a wicket, change in near real time. Because of these rapid shifts, live betting requires watching the match closely.
In Test match in-play betting, movement is much slower — a batting partnership can last session after session, shifting the odds gradually. ODI sits somewhere in between.
Good Habits for Cricket Betting
- Bet with the format in mind: In T20, focus on short-term outcomes; in Test, follow longer-term shifts.
- Check the playing eleven: Betting on individual markets after the lineup is announced gives you more information.
- Set a budget first: Betting is entertainment — never wager money you are not prepared to lose.
- Focus on one market: Starting with the match winner or toss market is a good way to get comfortable.
- Be patient with live betting: Get a feel for how the match is going before placing a bet — the picture becomes clearer after the first few overs.
- Stay responsible: Be aware of your own betting habits. If needed, read the Responsible Gaming guidelines.
Betting is Entertainment — Not a Guaranteed Income
Cricket betting is one way to enjoy the game, but every bet carries the risk of a loss. Odds indicate probability, not certainty of winning.
No betting method or strategy reliably produces a profit. Treating betting as entertainment and staying within a set budget keeps the experience enjoyable.
Betting at cx is not available to anyone under 21 years of age.
