Powerplay and death overs
In a T20 match, the scoring rate is highest during the first 6 powerplay overs and the final 5 overs. Live betting on over/under markets is most active during these periods.

Cricket formats and tournaments — what type of betting is available in each
To understand cricket betting, it helps to know the three main formats first — each has a different character, so the strategy for choosing markets also differs.
T20
Only 20 overs per team. BPL and IPL are played in this format. In the fast-paced game, total runs and over-by-over markets are most popular.
ODI
A 50-over match. The ICC World Cup and various bilateral series are played in this format. With more time available, in-play betting is more effective.
Test
A five-day match — cricket's traditional format. A draw is a valid result, so all three markets (home/away/draw) remain active.
BPL
IPL
T20 World Cup
Bet on local and international tournaments
From the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) to ICC tournaments, you can bet on various international matches at bet jl. Bangladeshi bettors show the most interest in Bangladesh Tigers matches.
Football and other sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football. Cricket and football betting differ somewhat — football has goal count and half-time result markets, while cricket has markets on wickets, overs and runs. In-play betting has a wider scope in cricket because the situation changes after every over.
Also, those looking for a different type of game can check out the Monster Crash game — it is a fast-paced game category that is separate from sports betting.
Popular betting markets — how to bet on each one
Cricket matches have many types of markets. Below is a simple explanation of the most commonly used markets and how they work.
Most Popular
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. Choose either Team A or Team B. In Test matches, a draw option is also available.
Popular in T20
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is decided as soon as the match begins.
Batting Market
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs for a specific team. This market is more interesting in longer-innings matches.
Runs Market
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored will be more (over) or less (under) than a given number — choose one of the two options.
Multi Bet
Multi Bet
Select the results of multiple matches together. If all selections are correct, the total odds are multiplied. One wrong pick and the entire bet is lost.
Bowling Market
Top Wicket-Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. This market is especially active in limited-overs matches.
Multi Bet — how does it work?
Say you place bets on three separate matches — odds of 1.60 on the first, 1.70 on the second and 1.80 on the third. In a multi bet, multiplying all three odds gives: 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.90 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳490 if all are correct — but if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. This calculation is for illustration only and is not a guarantee of any profit.
The more selections in a multi bet, the higher the odds — but one wrong pick loses everything. Use it with care.
Learn to read odds — three formats say the same thing
Odds are written differently across various sites. Decimal, fractional and American odds all express the same underlying value — only the notation differs.
Example 1 — Underdog
Team A to win, ৳1,000 bet:
2.50
Decimal
3/2
Fractional
+150
American
If you win, you get back ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If you lose, you lose ৳1,000.
Example 2 — Favourite
Team B to win, ৳1,000 bet:
1.80
Decimal
4/5
Fractional
-125
American
If you win, you get back ৳1,800 (৳800 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). American minus odds indicate how much you need to bet to win 100 taka.
Higher odds mean the outcome is considered less likely. Decimal odds cannot go below 1.00. All odds formats are available on bet jl — choose the one you prefer.
LIVE
Live in-play betting — odds shift with every wicket
One of the biggest advantages of cricket is in-play betting. Odds change after every over and every wicket while the match is in progress. If Team A loses 5 wickets in 15 overs, the odds on Team B winning naturally shorten.
A few things worth keeping in mind with live betting:
- Odds change fast: When a big wicket falls or runs come quickly, odds update within seconds.
- Death-over markets: In the final 5 overs, separate markets are available on total runs and number of sixes.
- Good internet required: Without a fast connection during live betting, odds may freeze.
Some useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment. The tips below will help keep your experience straightforward and safe.
Understand the tournament format
In T20, any team can win on any given day. In Test matches, pitch conditions and weather play a big role. Keep the match format in mind before placing a bet.
Stick to a budget
Decide how much you are willing to spend before each bet. If you lose one match, it is better not to try to recover the loss by betting more on the next.
Play responsibly
Betting is for entertainment only — it is not a way to earn income. Read bet jl's responsible gaming guidelines and set your own limits.
Try different markets
Do not limit yourself to match winner only. Top batsman or total runs over/under markets offer a different experience. Joining bet jl's VIP programme also gives access to weekly cashback.
Betting is strictly for those aged 21 and above. Participation by minors is completely prohibited.

Common questions and answers — cricket betting
The main markets (match winner, top batsman, total runs) are available across all three formats. However, there are differences — in Test matches a draw is a valid result, so the match winner market has three options. In T20, the fast pace means over-by-over and powerplay markets are more active. In ODI, markets can shift in the second innings as pitch conditions change.
If a match is abandoned due to rain or any other reason, bet settlement is generally determined by the site's terms and conditions. In most cases, if a minimum number of overs has not been played, the bet is considered void. Full details can be found on bet jl's terms and conditions page.
Live betting is available for most international and major domestic tournament matches. However, smaller or less prominent tournaments may only have pre-match markets. Log in to bet jl via the app or a mobile browser to see live markets.
In a handicap market, one of the two teams is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage to level the market. For example, if the stronger team is given a -1.5 run handicap, they must win by at least 2 runs. This makes the market more interesting when there is a big gap between the two teams — keep in mind this is recreational betting, not a guarantee of profit.
IPL is a larger international tournament, so it generally has more markets and live betting options. BPL also covers all the main markets, and is more familiar to Bangladeshi bettors. Since both are T20 format, the same types of markets apply to each.
