Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Understanding cricket betting starts with the formats. Each format has a different style of play, so betting strategy varies accordingly.
| Format | Features | Betting Perspective |
|---|---|---|
| T20 | Only 20 overs per team; fast-paced game | Odds shift quickly; the situation changes with every wicket |
| ODI | 50 overs; medium-length match | Powerplay and middle-over performance matter |
| Test | Five days; a draw is possible | Markets cover three outcomes (win/loss/draw); bets can be placed on both wickets and runs |
BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is the most hotly followed competition among Bangladeshi fans. Each season features local and overseas cricketers in front of home crowds, which is reflected in the betting markets as well. IPL takes place in India every year, but Bangladeshi fans follow it keenly and matches from this tournament can be bet on at hi bazi. Bangladesh Tigers fans can also bet on T20 World Cup and other ICC international matches alongside supporting the team.

Betting on Football and Other Sports
hi bazi is not limited to cricket — you can also bet on football, kabaddi and other sports. The betting experience differs from sport to sport. In cricket, separate markets are available for every over and every wicket because the game stops between deliveries and each ball is a distinct event. In football, the match runs continuously; odds shift slowly until a goal is scored, then change instantly. Cricket generally offers a wider range of betting markets than football because the sport's structure is more divisible — innings, overs and individual batsmen can all become markets. If you are looking for a completely different kind of entertainment, the hi bazi Slots section has thousands of slot games.
Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
In cricket betting, you can place bets across several different markets within a single match. Below is a brief explanation of the seven most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there is no draw, so there are only two options; in Test cricket there are three.
Simple MarketToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss. This has no direct connection to the match result, so odds are usually equal or close to equal.
Standalone MarketTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings. The team's batting order and pitch conditions play an important role in this market.
Performance MarketTotal Runs (Over/Under)
A bet on whether the total runs in a match or an innings will be above or below a set number — two options to choose from.
Statistics MarketTop Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets. Conditions for pace or spin and the type of pitch influence this bet.
Performance MarketMulti Bet
Multiple bets placed together on a single slip. If all selections are correct, the combined odds apply; if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Combined MarketMulti Bet Example
Say you place match winner bets on three separate matches: the first at odds of 1.60, the second at 1.80, the third at 1.90. The combined odds come to 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 (approximately). On a ৳100 stake, if all three are correct, you get back ৳547. But if any one of the three is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost. That is why a multi bet offers higher reward but also higher risk.
How to Read Odds — Explained in Three Formats
Online betting sites display odds in three formats: decimal, fractional and American. hi bazi generally uses the decimal format because it is the easiest to understand.
Example 1 — The same price in three formats (Team A to win, stake ৳200)
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150
If the bet wins, you get back ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake). If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — The favourite's price (Team B to win)
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200
American minus odds mean you need to stake that amount to win ৳100. On a ৳200 stake, you get back ৳300 (৳100 profit).
Both examples show that with decimal odds you can find the total return by simple multiplication, which is why it is the most straightforward format. Fractional and American formats are more common in other countries but express the same value.

Live Betting — How Odds Move with Wickets and Overs
Live or in-play betting means you can place bets in real time after a match has started. At hi bazi, odds are updated ball by ball during a match, so the betting landscape shifts along with the flow of the game.
In a T20 match, when a wicket falls the batting team's position immediately weakens and their odds of winning lengthen (meaning their probability drops). The bowling team's odds shorten at the same time (their probability rises). Equally, if the batting team scores heavily in a big over, the situation reverses.
In ODI, if no wicket falls during the powerplay (first 10 overs), the batting team is in a strong position and their odds of winning shorten. In Test cricket, changes happen more gradually — live odds are determined at the end of each session based on pitch conditions and the number of wickets taken.
- Odds in in-play markets move very fast; if you take too long to decide, the price you selected may no longer be available.
- Live betting requires a stable internet connection — if your screen freezes, the situation may change before your bet is confirmed.
- Live betting is easy to use on the hi bazi mobile app (available for Android and iOS through official channels).

Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — keeping that in mind, settling a few things in advance makes the experience smoother.
- Set a budget: Decide how much you will stake before each session and do not go beyond it. Betting is entertainment; if it starts to feel excessive, read the responsible gaming guide.
- Understand the format: T20 and Test betting markets are not the same. Focusing on one format at first helps you get a better feel for the market.
- Start with match winner: For newcomers, match winner is the most straightforward market. Once you have some experience, you can move on to top batsman or over/under.
- Know the terms before you bet: Each bonus and offer has its own conditions. Read the terms and conditions once before you start betting.
- VIP benefits: Regular betting at hi bazi lets you move up the VIP programme from Bronze to Platinum, with weekly cashback along the way.
- Look beyond cricket too: During a break, you can spend time on the live table games or slots at hi bazi Casino — a completely different experience.
