Cricket Betting at l89 — bet on every Bangladesh Tigers match your way
From T20 to Test, BPL to international series — l89's cricket markets cover match winner, top batsman, over/under runs and much more. In-play betting means odds change after every wicket.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Understanding the format makes it easier to understand the type of bet — each has its own rhythm.
T20 — The Fast Game
This format wraps up in just 20 overs, so things happen quickly. BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the most popular tournaments among Bangladesh fans. Odds can shift after every ball.
T20ODI — The Fifty-Over Contest
Strategy unfolds a little more slowly in one-day international cricket. Tournament-stage ODI series offer more betting markets — particularly mid-innings run rate and partnership markets.
ODITest — The Five-Day Challenge
Test cricket is the longest format. Because a draw is possible, the match winner market has three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. Session-based run markets are also available.
TestCricket fans in Bangladesh are most active during the BPL season. Every international series featuring the Tigers is also available in l89's betting markets. For football and other sports, full details are on the l89 Bet page.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Beyond cricket, l89 offers betting on many other sports.
Cricket vs football — what is the difference in betting?
In football, the result is usually decided in 90 minutes. Because goals are few, a single event can shift the entire market. In cricket, live odds change far more frequently with every over and wicket.
Kabaddi, volleyball and other sports have a different betting structure — fewer matches mean wider odds margins. During cricket tournaments there are multiple matches every day, so the market stays more liquid.

5 Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
Each market has a different betting style — a little understanding makes for a better betting experience.
Match Winner
The simplest market. Just pick which of the two teams will win. T20 and ODI usually have two outcomes; Test adds a draw. Example: choose Team A or Team B.
SimpleToss Winner
Settled before the match starts. Bet on which team will win the toss. The result is known before play begins, so odds are nearly even. A straightforward market if you want a quick result.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Pick the batter who will score the most runs in the innings. When a team has several strong batters, the odds spread out. Batting order and pitch conditions are worth considering here.
Skill-BasedTotal Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a run line — for example, 160. You bet on whether the team will score more (over) or fewer (under). Pitch, weather and bowling strength all play a role in this market.
Runs-BasedMulti Bet
Combine multiple bets on one ticket. Every selection must win for you to receive the full return. Odds are multiplied, so the potential return is larger — but if even one bet loses, the entire ticket is void.
High ReturnWicket Market
Which over a wicket will fall in, who will take the most wickets, or how a batter will be dismissed — these live markets change quickly during a match. This market is especially popular for in-play betting.
In-PlayOdds in Three Formats — A Simple Guide
The same odds can be written as decimal, fractional or American. Here is an example to make it clear.
| Format | Team A Win (Example 1) | Team B Win (Example 2) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | −125 |
| All three formats express the same probability — only the way they are written differs. | ||
Example 1 — Team A wins, stake ৳200: Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If the bet wins, you receive ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake). If it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B, stake ৳200: Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125 (American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win 100). ৳200 stake returns ৳360 (৳160 profit).
Quick rules for reading odds
- Decimal odds are the easiest — multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return.
- Fractional odds follow British tradition — the numerator is profit, the denominator is the stake.
- American + odds show profit on a 100 stake; − odds show how much to stake for 100 profit.
- Lower odds mean the bookmaker considers that outcome more likely.
- Odds are not a guaranteed result — they are the bookmaker's estimate, and anything can happen in reality.
Live In-Play Betting — Betting in the Middle of a Match
Odds shift the moment a wicket falls — in-play betting lets you act on that moment.
The situation changes with every ball
As well as pre-match bets, in-play betting lets you place bets while the game is going on. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen and the bowling team's shorten. After a big over, the over/under market line moves.
In T20, powerplay overs cause the biggest odds movements. The more runs scored or wickets taken in the first 6 overs, the more dramatically the subsequent odds shift. Quick decisions are needed in live markets because odds update within seconds.
In-play betting is even easier on the l89 mobile app. The app is available for both Android and iOS through official channels. Slots and live casino are available in the same app — see the l89 App page for details.

Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — keeping to a limit makes for a better experience.
-
Set a budget first: Decide on a fixed amount that, if lost, will not affect your daily life. Treat betting as an entertainment expense.
-
Do not rely too heavily on a single bet: Multi bets can look attractive with large returns, but one wrong selection and the whole stake is gone. Smaller single bets are more manageable over the long term.
-
No rushing in live betting: In-play odds change fast — but it is better not to place a large bet in a hurry. Observe the market first.
-
Do not try to cover losses with a bigger bet: If you lose several times in a row, take a break. Increasing your stake to recover losses usually leads to even bigger losses.
-
Read the terms and conditions: Make sure you understand bonus wagering requirements and withdrawal conditions. Full details are on the Terms and Conditions page.
-
21+ age requirement: The minimum age for cricket betting and all other types of wagering at l89 is 21.
