hibaji Cricket Betting — bet on BPL, IPL and T20 matches across popular markets
From T20 to Test, BPL to international series — hibaji has separate markets for every format. Bet before the match starts or while it is in progress, and choose your preferred odds format: decimal or fractional.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
Cricket in Bangladesh is more than just a game — excitement spreads across the country with every match. At hibaji, betting markets are open across all three formats.
T20: The fastest and most popular format. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup are the three tournaments discussed most among Bangladeshi fans. Every over and every ball creates new opportunities.
ODI: Strategy plays a big role in fifty-over matches. Innings build-up, powerplay use and mid-game planning give ODI betting its own character.
Test: This five-day format is for patient bettors. Pitch behaviour, weather and team form are the three factors that most influence odds in a Test match. You can also bet at hibaji on Bangladesh Tigers international Test series.
You can also bet on football, badminton and tennis at hibaji — but the difference from cricket is clear. In a 90-minute football match, goal-centred markets (total goals, first goalscorer) are the most common, while cricket offers far more variety with run, wicket and over-based markets. A single cricket match can have hundreds of betting points, which is comparatively more than football.
Popular Betting Markets
A range of market types is available for cricket betting at hibaji. Below are seven popular markets with brief examples.
The simplest market — pick which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20, so there are only two options. Just bet on Team A or Team B.
Bet on which team will win the toss. The probability is roughly 50-50, so the odds are usually close. An easy starting point for new bettors.
Bet on who will score the most runs for a team. You can make your decision based on the team's batting order and current form.
Bet on whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Pitch and weather conditions are important factors here.
How will the first wicket fall — bowled, LBW, caught, or run out? This is a specialist market popular among experienced bettors.
Combining multiple selections into one bet creates a multi bet. If all selections win, the return is much higher, but if any one loses, the entire stake is lost. A detailed example is given in the odds section below.
In a handicap market, the weaker team is given a notional run advantage. If Team B is given a +20 run handicap, the final margin is calculated with that handicap added. Outcomes in this market are described in words rather than numbers, because each match situation is different.
A Simple Guide to Three Odds Formats
Odds reflect a probability — they express in numbers how likely a team is to win or lose. hibaji shows three formats: decimal, fractional and American.
The clearest way to understand how the same bet looks across all three formats is with a specific example:
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Result on a ৳500 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Win: ৳1,125 returned (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake); loss: ৳500 lost. |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Same match, same bet, same return — just written differently. |
| American | +125 | A plus (+) sign means ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet. |
How do odds look for the favourite? Say Team B is more likely to win: decimal 1.80 = fractional 4/5 = American -125. American minus (−) means you need to bet ৳125 to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳500 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳900 in total (৳400 profit); if they lose, ৳500 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting
In in-play betting, odds change with every moment of the match. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen; when runs come quickly in the powerplay, the bowling team's odds lengthen.
Pre-match odds and in-play odds are different. In a T20, if two quick wickets fall after the sixth over, the match picture changes completely — and odds shift rapidly at that moment. To bet in-play at hibaji, you need a good read of the match's momentum and conditions on the ground.
In a Test match, pitch deterioration from day to day affects the odds. When the pitch becomes spin-friendly on the third or fourth day, the odds on the next wicket shorten. In ODIs, many bettors adjust their mid-match bets after seeing the run position at the end of the powerplay.
In-play betting involves quick decisions — so keeping a clear head matters. Betting should always be for entertainment. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines makes it easier to stay within your limits.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
- 1 Set a budget and stick to it. Betting is entertainment — do not place more bets chasing money you have already lost.
- 2 Start with one format. The pace of T20 betting is different from ODI or Test — get experience with one type of match first.
- 3 Start with the match winner market. It is straightforward because there are only two options — move on to more complex markets later.
- 4 Multi bets offer higher potential returns but also higher risk. With 3 selections at decimal odds of 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = approximately 4.79 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳479 if all are correct, but if any one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
- 5 Pick one of the three odds formats and stick with it. Mixing multiple formats creates confusion.
- 6 Joining the hibaji VIP programme at hibaji gives you weekly cashback — which is useful for regular bettors.

Football betting is also popular at hibaji alongside cricket. From European leagues to international tournaments, you can bet on match winner, total goals and both teams to score (BTTS) markets.
Football betting is different from cricket — in a 90-minute match, a draw is a common result, so the three-way market (home win, draw, away win) is widely used. Football does not have as many small individual markets as cricket, but both pre-match and in-play options are available.
