Cricket Betting at kriya – Join the Best Markets for T20, ODI and Test
Every season of BPL, IPL and international cricket, kriya gives you the widest range of market options — both before the match starts and live as it plays out.
Cricket Formats and Favourite Tournaments
Cricket's three international formats — T20, ODI and Test — each offer a different experience from a betting perspective. T20 matches finish in just three to four hours, so odds shift quickly and live betting stays very active. In ODIs, the fifty-over span gives bettors the chance to read the situation throughout the full innings. And in Test cricket, the dramatic swings over five days give the markets a completely different depth.
For Bangladeshi fans, the most talked-about tournament is the BPL — every match sparks conversation about the Tigers' batting and bowling on home soil. The IPL, held every March to May, multiplies betting interest several times over. kriya also offers wide markets for international tournaments like the T20 World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy.
Cricket has more market variety than football or other sports. Football betting mainly focuses on match results and number of goals, while basketball favours point spreads. In cricket, separate markets for over-by-over runs, the timing of wickets and individual performances mean every ball creates a new possibility.
Popular Betting Markets at a Glance
At kriya, you can take part in several different markets on a single cricket match at the same time. Below are seven familiar markets with a brief description of each.
Match Winner
Simply pick which of the two teams will win. There's no draw in T20 or ODI, so the market is straightforward.
Toss Winner
A direct bet on which team will win the toss. The two teams are considered equally likely, so odds are usually close to 1.90.
Top Run Scorer
Pick which batsman from either team will score the most runs in an innings or across the full match.
Over / Under Total Runs
Bet on whether runs scored — across a full innings or up to a specific over — will be above (over) or below (under) a set number.
Top Wicket Taker
Pick which bowler will take the most wickets in the match — choose from the fast bowlers or spinners.
Multi Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches or markets gives you a larger combined odds, but if any one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Type of First Wicket
Bet on whether the first wicket in the match will fall bowled, caught, run out or some other way — this market depends entirely on the first few balls and settles quickly.
How to Read and Understand Odds
At kriya and most betting platforms, odds are shown in three common formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three formats express the same chance of winning in different ways.
The example below uses a ৳1,000 bet on Team A to win:
Example 1 — Underdog Team A
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 |
| American | +150 |
If the bet wins, you get back ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if it loses, you lose ৳1,000.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 4/5 |
| American | -125 |
American minus odds show how much you need to bet to win ৳100. With a ৳1,000 bet, a win returns ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
Decimal format is the easiest to calculate — just multiply your stake by the odds to get your total return. In fractional odds, the numerator is your profit and the denominator is your stake. In American format, a plus sign (+) shows how much you profit on a ৳100 bet, while a minus sign (-) shows how much you need to stake to profit ৳100.
At kriya, you can choose your preferred format from your account settings. Decimal format is the most commonly used among Bangladeshi users, as it directly shows the money you get back.
Live In-Play Betting — A New Opportunity with Every Wicket
Once the match starts, live in-play betting becomes active. Here, odds change with every ball. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds of winning increase; after two consecutive sixes, they come back down.
If Team A has scored fewer runs than expected by the end of the powerplay, Team B's win odds may look attractive mid-innings. When a big hitter comes in during the death overs, the situation can flip. This pace is what makes live betting particularly suited to cricket.
In Test matches, pitch behaviour, pitch changes and the weather have a direct impact on live markets. On a spin-friendly pitch on the morning of day three, odds can sometimes move dramatically.
Using the kriya mobile app makes it easier to switch markets as live scores update. Both the Android APK and iOS versions are available through official channels. Visit the kriya App page for more details.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Beyond cricket, kriya offers markets for football, tennis and other international sports. The main football markets are match result (1X2), first-half goals and both teams to score. Football doesn't have the ball-by-ball market variety that cricket does — but live betting stays intense throughout a 90-minute match.
The key difference between cricket and football is the possibility of a draw. T20 or ODI always produces a winner, but in football three outcomes are possible — which gives the odds structure a different shape.
For those who want to enjoy casino games beyond betting, the Virtual Casino offers a full experience — from live dealer tables to slots.
A Few Tips for Responsible Betting
Betting is entertainment — playing responsibly makes the experience more enjoyable. It's always important to follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
-
Set your budget in advance
Decide how much you'll set aside for each match or each week before you start. Avoid placing extra bets trying to recover losses.
-
Spread across different markets instead of putting everything on one bet
Try markets beyond just the match winner — toss, over/under or top batsman are all worth exploring.
-
Keep the number of selections low in a multi bet
Every selection in a multi bet must be correct. Three matches at 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.03 combined odds — a ৳100 stake returns ৳403 if all are correct, but if one fails you lose the full ৳100.
-
Keep pitch and weather in mind
In Test and ODI matches, pitch conditions can significantly affect odds. Reading the pitch report before the match starts is helpful.
-
Avoid rushing in live betting
Odds change fast, which makes it easy to act on impulse. Take stock of the situation and make your selection calmly.
-
Know the rules and terms
For any uncertainty about a cancelled match or result, check the rules and terms — that's the bettor's responsibility.
