abba Cricket Betting — Bangladesh's Cricket Betting Experience
Bet on every major match at abba — from BPL to the T20 World Cup, across T20, ODI and Test formats. Markets include match winner, toss, top batsman and more.
Three formats of cricket and major tournaments
Cricket fans in Bangladesh enjoy T20, ODI and Test — each format has its own appeal. abba offers betting on all three formats. The available markets differ slightly by format, so it helps to know which bet suits which match.
T20
This fast-paced twenty-over format is the quickest. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup are its most popular competitions. Because matches end quickly, T20 is the most suitable format for live betting.
ODI
The fifty-over format features the ICC World Cup and international series as its main attractions. Many of Bangladesh Tigers' best performances have come in ODIs.
Test
Five-day Test cricket offers more markets and a draw is a possible result, so there are three outcomes to bet on.
Popular betting markets — where to bet in a match
Cricket betting is not limited to picking who wins a match — you can choose from a range of different markets.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win the match. In T20 and ODI there is no draw, so you choose between two outcomes.
EasiestToss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. This is completely separate from the match result and is settled as soon as the toss takes place.
Quick resultTop Batsman
Pick the batter who scores the most runs for a team in a single innings or across the whole match.
Skill betTotal Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a runs line (e.g. 160). You bet on whether the team's total runs will go above or stay below that line.
Numbers betMulti Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches into a single bet. Example: if three separate selections have odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.70, the combined odds are 3.57 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳357, but if any one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Higher returnsTop Bowler
Pick in advance the bowler who will take the most wickets in an innings or across the whole match. Odds shift as wickets fall.

How to read and understand odds
Betting sites display odds in three different formats: decimal, fractional, and American. At abba you can choose the format you prefer.
Example 1 — Team A wins (stake ৳200)
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return is 2.25 times the stake |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Win ৳5 for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | Win ৳125 profit for every ৳100 staked |
A winning ৳200 bet returns ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake). If it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B wins (stake ৳200)
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | Total return is 1.80 times the stake |
| Fractional | 4/5 | Win ৳4 profit for every ৳5 staked |
| American | -125 | You need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100 profit |
A winning ৳200 bet returns ৳360 (৳160 profit). In American format, a minus sign means the team is the favourite.
Live in-play betting — bet while the match is on
In-play betting while a match is in progress is one of the most engaging ways to bet on cricket. Odds shift after every over and every wicket — and each change brings new opportunities.
Say a team makes a strong start in the first 5 overs of a T20, then loses two quick wickets in the next over — their win odds will lengthen and the opponent's odds will shorten. Live betting lets you act on these moments.
Important: Odds move very fast in live betting. Before placing a bet, check the odds on screen and confirm them — because by the time a bet is confirmed, the odds may have already changed.

Other sports alongside cricket
Alongside cricket, abba also offers betting on football, tennis, badminton and more. Football is growing in popularity in Bangladesh — particularly interest in European league matches.
One key difference between cricket and football betting is match length and the number of markets. A lot can change in 90 minutes of football, whereas in a T20 cricket match you have more opportunity to analyse each over individually. In Test cricket, the three possible outcomes give the odds a different structure.

Cricket vs Football Betting
- Cricket has more over-by-over live markets.
- Goalscorer and handicap markets are more popular in football.
- In Test cricket a draw is also a result — so there are three options.
- In T20 and ODI there are only two results — win or loss.
Some practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. To keep it enjoyable, keep a few basics in mind:
- Set a budget. Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable losing. Do not go beyond that limit.
- Start with one market. For beginners, match winner or toss markets are simple and straightforward.
- Use multi bets with care. Even if the combined odds look attractive, losing just one selection means the whole bet is lost.
- Stay calm in live betting. Odds change fast, but placing a large bet in a rush is not a good idea.
- Follow responsible gaming. abba has responsible gaming guidelines — read them if needed.
- Know the rules. Understanding the terms and conditions around betting makes decisions easier.
