345bet Cricket Betting — From BPL to the T20 World Cup
Bangladesh's most popular sport is now even more enjoyable — place bets at 345bet on markets like match winner, toss and top batsman, and take advantage of live in-play betting.
Cricket's Three Formats and Competitions
Cricket is more than a sport in Bangladesh — it's a passion. At 345bet you can bet on matches across all three main formats, and the betting experience differs from one format to another.
T20
Most PopularEach team plays just 20 overs, so matches end quickly and the situation can change with every ball. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are all played in this format. With over rates and wickets shifting in an instant, this format makes for very fast-moving live betting.
ODI
50 OversIn One Day International (ODI) format each team bats for 50 overs. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in this format. The pace is a bit slower than T20, but a mid-innings wicket can still move the odds quickly, creating various betting opportunities.
Test
5 DaysTest cricket runs over five days and a draw is always a possible result. With match winner, innings runs and pitch conditions all in play, betting on Tests calls for more analysis. Those who enjoy taking time to study the game tend to find Test markets particularly interesting.
Bangladesh's Favourite Competitions
The BPL draws cricket fans from across the country every year. It is Bangladesh's biggest franchise T20 tournament, with local and overseas players coming together to light up the competition. At 345bet you can bet on BPL matches across a range of markets.
IPL also attracts huge interest from Bangladeshi fans. Cricketers known from the Bangladesh Tigers play in this tournament too, which makes the betting even more engaging. Beyond that, 345bet also covers the T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and bilateral series.
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football and other sports at 345bet. Cricket markets are a little different from football — here you get options like toss betting and top scorer markets that you do not usually find in football. Basketball betting works differently again — it features point spread and quarter-based markets more prominently.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
345bet offers several types of markets on cricket matches. Below is an explanation of the seven most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
Which team will win — this is the simplest and most popular market. In T20 and ODI there are only two possible outcomes, making it the best place to start.
Toss Winner
You can bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. There are only two outcomes — Team A or Team B — and the odds are often close to even.
Top Batsman
Predict which batsman from a given team will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the full match.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored in an innings or a full match will be above (over) or below (under) a set line.
Top Bowler
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Choose from pace bowlers, spinners and everyone in between.
Multi Bet
Combine the outcomes of multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct the returns increase, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Man of the Match
Bet on which player will win the Man of the Match award. The honour can come from either batting or bowling performance.
Odds in Three Formats — Explained Simply
Betting sites may display odds in three different formats. Each means the same thing; only the way it is shown differs.
| Format | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Stake × odds = total return. The easiest format to understand. |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked — the stake is returned on top. |
| American | +150 | Plus (+) shows the profit on a ৳100 bet. Minus (−) shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. |
Example 1 — Team A to win (Bet ৳200)
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150
If you win: ৳200 × 2.50 = ৳500 total return (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake). If you lose: ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B to win (Bet ৳200)
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American −400
If you win: ৳200 × 1.25 = ৳250 total return (৳50 profit). American −400 means you need to stake ৳400 to make ৳100 profit.
Keep in Mind
- The higher the decimal odds, the less likely that outcome is considered to be
- In fractional odds the left number is the profit, the right number is the stake
- American + means underdog, − means favourite
- All three formats represent the same outcome — only the display style differs
- In a multi bet, multiplying the decimal odds of all selections together gives the combined odds
Live In-Play Betting — While the Match is On
At 345bet live in-play betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. It is far more fast-moving than pre-match betting — every wicket, every six or maiden over can shift the odds.
For example, if wickets fall quickly for the batting team in the 15th over of a T20 match, their odds of winning will lengthen (because they are behind in the market) while their opponents' odds will shorten. Understanding these movements lets you place new bets even in the middle of a match.
Odds update as each over ends, so timing your decisions matters. In-play markets may close briefly at certain moments (such as during a delivery) — this is normal and lasts only a very short time.
Things to keep in mind in-play
- Odds move quickly during powerplay overs
- Big shots or wickets in the death overs have an immediate effect on odds
- If rain interrupts play, the target changes under the Duckworth-Lewis rule
- In Test cricket, review the market after each session
Useful Cricket Betting Tips
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience better.
Understand the format first
T20, ODI and Test each have different rules. Learn the format you are most interested in before placing bets.
Start with one market
Begin by focusing only on the match winner market. Once you are comfortable, move on to other markets gradually.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend. Never go beyond that limit.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns but also carry more risk. One wrong selection and the entire bet is lost.
Stay focused in live betting
Odds change very fast in-play. Take your time and make decisions carefully, not in a rush.
Play responsibly
Betting is purely for entertainment — there are no guaranteed returns. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.

Log in to 345betMore Sports Alongside Cricket
Besides cricket, 345bet also offers football betting. Football markets around the world work a little differently from cricket — here you will find markets like 1X2 (home/draw/away), goals over/under and both teams to score. Where cricket has toss betting and top batsman, football has first goalscorer and corner betting.
Basketball is another popular option at 345bet. This sport features point spread and quarter-based markets more prominently, which is different from cricket's over/under markets. You can find full details on the 345bet basketball betting page.
And for those who enjoy casino games alongside sports, 345bet Casino has slots, live casino and many other options.
