babu Cricket Betting — Best Odds on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Cricket is Bangladesh's most popular sport — and that passion is now on the babu betting platform. From T20 to Test, domestic BPL to ICC World Cup — place bets on familiar markets in every match, watch odds live, and get your results.
Cricket Formats and Favourite Tournaments
On the field, over a cup of tea, on a phone screen — cricket is everywhere in Bangladesh. All three formats are played, and each one has its own character in the betting market.
T20: The fastest format. Matches finish in just 20 overs, so odds shift with every ball. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the three biggest competitions among Bangladeshi fans. From the tea-garden grounds of Sylhet to the big stadiums of Dhaka — T20 is the talk everywhere.
ODI (One Day International): The 50-over format moves at a slower pace, but offers more mid-match betting opportunities. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are played in this format.
Test: This five-day format is a test of patience and strategy. Markets run for a long time, from match winner to top batsman. The Bangladesh Tigers' Test series draws equal interest in this country.
BPL and IPL Betting
Franchise T20BPL is Bangladesh's own franchise league — it carries a special feeling for cricket fans in the country. IPL generates the same heat. Both leagues offer multiple markets per match at babu.
ICC International Matches
T20 World Cup and ODI SeriesBangladesh Tigers matches in the T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and bilateral series attract the most betting interest. All major international matches are covered at babu.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
After cricket, football is the biggest betting market in Bangladesh. The English Premier League, UEFA Champions League and the FIFA World Cup are the three competitions where Bangladeshi fans are most active.
Football markets differ somewhat from cricket. Match winner has three outcomes (home win, draw, away win), and football has its own markets like handicap and total goals over/under. In cricket, a draw only occurs in Test; T20 and ODI have a direct winner, so the market structure is simpler.
Markets for Kabaddi, badminton and a few other sports are also available at babu. However, cricket and football have the greatest market depth — in terms of number of markets, live options and competitiveness of odds.
If you want to combine bets from multiple sports, check the multi bet section — where cricket, football and other sport selections can be placed together.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
Below is a brief introduction to seven common cricket markets. How each market works is explained in plain language — using Team A and Team B.
Match Winner
SimplestWill Team A or Team B win — that is the whole bet. In T20 or ODI there are only two outcomes, so it is an easy market to start with. Say Team A's odds are 1.65 and Team B's are 2.30 — a ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,150 if Team B wins (৳650 profit); if Team A wins, ৳500 is lost.
Toss Winner
Pre-Match MarketA bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely a matter of chance — it has nothing to do with playing skill. It is a cricket-specific market that does not exist in other sports.
Top Batsman
Player-BasedA bet on which batsman in a team will score the most runs. There is a separate market for each team. Tracking the performance of in-form batsmen makes this market easier to follow.
Total Runs Over/Under
Runs-BasedA bet on whether the total runs in a match or an innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. It is not about which team wins — it is about the nature of the game.
Top Bowler
Bowler-BasedWhich bowler in a team will take the most wickets. Pace or spin — pitch and conditions drive interest in this market. Like top batsman, there is a separate market for each team.
Multi Bet
Multiple SelectionsMultiple matches or markets combined into one bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply — for example: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.70 = roughly 4.08; a ৳100 bet returns ৳408 if everything is correct. Learn more about multi bets.
Man of the Match
Performance MarketA bet on which player will receive the man of the match award. The award can be given for batting, bowling or fielding, so the range of possible outcomes is wide.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds are written in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. babu generally shows decimal odds, but knowing all three makes you comfortable on any platform.
Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply them directly by your stake to get the total return. Fractional and American formats are more common on British and American sites. All three formats express the same bet on the same match — only the way they are written differs.

Odds represent the rate of return based on the probability of each outcome — they are set when the market opens and can change before and during a match.
Live Betting — Odds Shift with Every Wicket
Bets placed after a match has started are called live or in-play betting. In cricket, this type of betting is more dynamic than in almost any other sport — because every wicket, every big shot or maiden over directly changes the odds.
Say Team A is batting and 2 wickets have already fallen early — Team A's odds will suddenly rise (meaning Team A is now considered less likely to win). At that exact moment, someone watching the match who believes Team A can recover can place a bet at those higher odds.
How many runs are needed in the last over, who will be dismissed next, how many runs the current partnership will exceed — all these small markets are available live. Keep in mind that live market odds change quickly, so there is limited time to make decisions.
LIVE During live betting at babu, real-time scores and updated odds are shown on screen.
Some Examples of Live Markets
- Runs in the next over (over/under)
- How the next wicket will fall (bowled/caught/run out)
- Total runs in a specific powerplay
- Winning margin at the end of the match (by runs or wickets)
- Whether the current batsman will score a half-century
Some Practical Advice on Betting
Betting is entertainment — keeping that in mind leads to a better experience. The following tips are useful for both new and experienced bettors.
- Set a budget first: Set a separate budget for each match or week — it is best not to bet beyond that amount.
- Start with one market: Match winner or toss — starting with a simple market takes less time to understand the rules.
- No rushing in live betting: Live odds change fast — take a moment to think before deciding, and avoid placing bets on impulse.
- Do not chase losses with big bets: Placing a large bet immediately to recover a loss is risky — wait until the next session.
- Read the bonus terms: Before using a promotion like Cricket babu Dhamaka, check the wagering requirements.
