Cricket betting at baji af — bet on all formats from T20 to Test
BPL, IPL, the T20 World Cup, and international matches — baji af brings all betting markets together in one place for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Bet as live odds shift and get more out of every match.
Cricket's three formats and popular tournaments
Before you start betting on cricket, it helps to understand the three main formats. T20 is the fastest format — each team plays just 20 overs, and the match can swing in any over. Bangladeshi fans know this format best through the BPL. From Dhaka to every corner of the country, fans follow BPL matches closely.
ODI, or one-day cricket, is a 50-over game. A mix of planning and patience is needed here, and the result can turn around even midway through. ODIs play a major role in ICC tournaments and bilateral series.
Test matches are the longest format, played over five days. Pitch conditions, weather, and the batting-bowling balance all have a significant effect on betting markets. There is generally more room to analyse the situation before placing a bet.
Popular tournaments: BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy, and international bilateral series — all available for betting at baji af. Markets around every Bangladesh Tigers match tend to be especially varied.
Betting on football and other sports
Alongside cricket, baji af also lets you bet on football, tennis, badminton, and several other sports. Football carries the widest range of markets — not just match winner, but also number of goals, first goalscorer, and half-time score, among others.
The main difference between cricket and football betting is how the match unfolds. In cricket, odds shift with every over — a wicket changes the market balance immediately. In football, changes come with goals, red cards, or added injury time. Live betting is the most engaging experience in both.
Whatever you bet on, it is a form of entertainment. Getting familiar with the responsible gaming guidelines keeps the experience healthy and enjoyable.

Popular cricket betting markets
At baji af, you can place several different types of bets on a single cricket match. Here is a brief overview of the most common markets.
Match Winner
Picking which team will win is the simplest market. In T20 there are two outcomes (Team A or Team B); in Test matches a draw is also an option. Example: if you place ৳1,000 on Team B and Team B wins, you receive a return based on the stated odds.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is known quickly and odds are generally even. Example: if you bet on Team A winning the toss, the outcome is decided the moment the toss happens.
Top Batsman
Pick which batsman from a given team will score the most runs in the match. Example: if you bet on Team A's best batter scoring the highest, the result is determined by the scorecard at the end of the innings.
Total Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs scored in the match will be over or under a set number. Example: if you bet on total runs being over 320 in a T20 match and the final score is 325, the bet wins.
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
You can combine three or more bets at once, with all odds multiplied together. Example: three matches at decimal odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 give a return of ৳336 on a ৳100 stake, but losing any one selection means the entire bet is lost.
Handicap Betting
To level the gap between two teams, the weaker side is given a virtual run advantage. If the weaker team still leads when that advantage is applied, the bet wins. This market is most useful when analysing pitch and conditions.
How to read odds
Betting platforms show three types of odds formats — Decimal, Fractional, and American. All three display the same information in different ways. Use whichever format feels easiest to you.
Example 1 — betting on Team A to win, stake ৳200:
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150
If Team A wins, return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake back). If Team A loses, the ৳200 stake is lost.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite, stake ৳200:
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125
In American odds, a minus figure (-125) means you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100. If Team B wins, a ৳200 stake returns ৳360 (৳160 profit).
Decimal odds are generally the easiest to read — the total return (stake included) is shown directly. The higher the odds, the less likely the outcome is considered to be — but the return is also higher if it comes in.

Live in-play betting — bet while the match is on
Live cricket betting means placing bets while the match is in progress — and odds shift with every ball. When a wicket falls, the batting side's odds go up and the bowling side's come down. If the score is low after the powerplay, the run-rate market also sees big movement.
Live betting is most intense in T20 because every over matters in a 20-over match. In the final five overs when big hitting begins, over/under market odds can change very quickly.
In ODI or Test, live betting moves at a slower pace — there is more opportunity to read the pitch, the role of spinners, and a batter's form before deciding. Always approach betting as entertainment — instead of staking a large amount on one bet, placing smaller bets across more markets gives you a better feel for how things work.
How live betting works
- Pre-match odds and live odds are different — the two markets operate separately.
- When a wicket falls, the batting side's total-runs market odds rise quickly.
- After a big over (such as 20+ runs), the bowling side's odds of winning may increase.
- There is a slight delay when placing bets in live markets — this is normal platform behaviour.
- Using the baji af App on your smartphone makes it easier to track live odds.
Practical tips for getting started with betting
A few simple tips for new bettors can make the experience more comfortable:
- Start with one format. T20 is the fastest — results come quickly and there is more to learn in less time.
- Don't place large bets before you know the markets. Once you understand how each market works, you can gradually increase your stake.
- Be careful with multi bets. Combining three selections raises the potential return, but losing any one of them means the entire bet is lost.
- Set a budget. Deciding in advance how much you will stake on each match helps keep your betting in check.
- Watch the live odds, don't rush. Odds move fast, but it is better to assess the situation and decide carefully than to place a bet in a hurry.
- Betting is for entertainment. Placing bigger bets to recover losses is not advisable — this is a core principle of responsible betting.
