Cricket Betting at sixs — bet on every moment of T20, ODI and BPL
Bet on all the major tournaments in Bangladesh's most popular sport at sixs. From Match Winner to live in-play — new opportunities every over.
Cricket's Three Formats and Your Favourite Tournaments
T20
Twenty-over cricket means excitement on every ball. BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup matches change quickly, so the betting markets are the most varied. Six-hitting, wicket and over-by-over markets are most common here.
ODI
The fifty-over format offers a better balance between batting and bowling strategy. ODI betting is popular in ICC tournaments and bilateral series. With more time in play, Total Runs and session betting markets are attractive options.
Test
In five-day cricket, innings results, series winners and first-day odds carry a different kind of weight. Pitch conditions and weather play a major role, so Test betting calls for a different level of patience and analysis.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is the country's biggest Twenty20 franchise tournament — markets around local team performances generate the most discussion during this tournament.
The world's best cricketers appear in the IPL, making it relatively straightforward to analyse each team's strengths and weaknesses. When Bangladesh Tigers take the field in the T20 World Cup and other ICC tournaments, betting interest across the country reaches its peak.
Alongside cricket, sixs also offers betting on football, tennis and other sports — though cricket has the widest range of markets on the platform.
The Differences Between Cricket, Football and Other Sports
Cricket can produce a draw or a 'no result' (due to rain or in Tests), which makes setting odds more complex than in football. In a T20 match there are only two outcomes (Team A or Team B wins), but in a Test, a draw is a third possibility.
Football normally has a fixed 90-minute time limit and a 1–0 scoreline can end the contest. In cricket, a single wicket or a big over can shift the momentum of the game entirely, creating far more opportunities for live betting.
In tennis you can bet set by set; in basketball points spreads are popular. Each sport has its own market structure — sixs displays all formats clearly so you always know which bet you are placing in which sport.

Comparison Summary
Popular Betting Markets — 7 Options
Cricket betting offers many different types of markets. Below are seven popular bet types explained in plain language.
The team that wins the match
The simplest bet — pick whether Team A or Team B will win. T20 matches have no draw, so there are only two options to choose from. Example: if you think Team A will win, place your bet on Team A.
The team that wins the toss
The result is known before the match starts — will Team A or Team B win the toss. This is a completely independent bet and has no connection to the match result.
The highest run-scorer
This bet is on which player from a given team will score the most runs. The result depends on whether the player you backed ends the innings as the top scorer.
Total Runs Over / Under
sixs sets a number — for example 165. You choose whether the team will score more than that (over) or fewer (under). Pitch conditions and the team's batting strength are worth considering.
Betting on multiple matches at once
Combining the results of several matches multiplies the odds. However, if any selection is wrong you lose the entire bet — so a multi bet is exciting but carries higher risk.
The over in which the first wicket falls
You can bet on exactly which over the first or second wicket will fall. This is a specialist market where analysing the bowling attack is useful.
The team that wins the overall series
In a two or three-match series, you bet on which team will win more matches. You can place this bet before the series starts or during it. If you are thinking about a longer-term bet, this is a good option.
Understanding Odds in Three Formats
Betting sites display odds in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three formats express the same probability; only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — Odds for the underdog team
Say you place ৳200 on Team A to win. The odds in three formats:
If the bet wins you get back ৳450 — ৳250 profit plus your original ৳200 stake. If it loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds for the favourite team
Say you place ৳200 on Team B to win — Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower:
If you win you get back ৳360 — ৳160 profit and your ৳200 stake. In the American format, minus (-125) means you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100.
The decimal format is the easiest to understand — just multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return. sixs shows decimal as the default, but you can switch to whichever format you prefer.
Live In-Play Betting — New Odds on Every Wicket
In-play betting in cricket is a different experience from regular pre-match betting. Every wicket, every big six and every run of dot balls during the match directly affects the odds in real time.
Consider this example: after 15 overs Team A is 85 for 3 — their odds of winning with 5 overs remaining have dropped. But if Team B then quickly loses two wickets, the odds can level out again. These are the moments when in-play betting is most interesting.
Live markets include: who takes the next wicket, how many runs will be scored in the next over, and whether the current over will be a maiden. Odds change fast, which means less time to decide — keep that in mind.
It is a good idea to set a budget before you start betting. Our Responsible Gaming page has a detailed guide on this.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is one form of entertainment. Following the tips below can make the experience more enjoyable.
Start with one format
Starting with T20 means results come quickly and the markets are easier to follow. Rather than entering many markets at once, build up experience in one or two.
Set your budget in advance
Before each match, decide how much you are willing to stake. Placing a larger bet to recover lost money is a common mistake in betting.
Keep track of pitch and weather conditions
On a batting-friendly pitch, a Total Runs bet is more likely to go over. If rain is forecast, the outcome of a Test or ODI match can change.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets show higher odds, but every selection must be correct. With more than three selections combined, getting all of them right becomes difficult.
Do not rush in live betting
Because odds change fast, it is natural to feel the urge to act quickly. But pause for a moment before each bet and look at the market carefully.
Treat betting as entertainment
Enjoying cricket is better when there is a small bet on your favourite team's match. Winning and losing are both normal — this is not a way to earn money, it is part of the entertainment.
