Cricket Betting at l89 — Every Match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
l89 brings the full cricket betting experience for fans in Bangladesh. Bet on any format — Test, ODI or T20 — and enjoy every moment alongside the Bangladesh Tigers.
Cricket's Three Formats and Betting
Each format has its own pace and strategy — so the betting opportunities differ too.
T20
This format lasts just 20 overs and is the fastest of all. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are all played in this format. The match can turn around in any single over, so live odds change the most in T20.
ODI
50-over One Day International cricket combines strategy and patience. Bangladesh Tigers regularly face strong opponents in ODIs. Top Batsman and runs-related markets are popular in this format.
Test
In five-day Test cricket, the pitch, weather and team consistency are the key factors for betting. A draw is a possible result in Tests, so the odds structure is different from T20 or ODI.
BPL, IPL and International Tournaments
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is a highlight every season for cricket fans in the country. Local bettors are most active during contests between Dhaka teams. l89 also offers betting on the IPL, ICC T20 World Cup and bilateral series.
Pre-match markets open before each match, and live markets become active once the match starts. Odds continue to update throughout every stage of the match.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, l89 offers betting on several other popular sports.
Football betting differs from cricket in that a draw is a common result. Every match therefore has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. You need to compare the odds for all three before making a decision.
Limited-overs cricket has no draw, so the odds structure is straight between two outcomes. This is relatively straightforward for new bettors to understand. Betting markets for Kabaddi, Badminton and Tennis are also available on l89.
Alongside betting, you can also play casino games on l89. Live Baccarat, Roulette and Slots are available at l89 Casino.
6 Popular Betting Markets
There are many ways to bet on cricket — here are the most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. For example: if Team A's odds are 1.80, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if they win.
EasiestToss Betting
You can bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. The result is confirmed quickly, making this a short-duration market.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Bet on who will score the most runs for a team. The team's batting order and pitch conditions are important factors here.
Skill MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs scored will be over or under a set number.
Runs BasedMulti Bet
Place selections from multiple matches on one slip. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply for a larger return — if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Higher ReturnTop Wicket-Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Consider the pitch type and the opposition's batting lineup.
Bowling MarketHow to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information.
Say Team A wins and the odds are written in all three formats: decimal 2.25, fractional 5/4, American +125. All three are the same value. A ৳1,000 bet that wins returns ৳2,250 — of which ৳1,250 is profit and ৳1,000 is the original stake. If it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Now say Team B is the favourite — odds are decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125. A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. Here a ৳1,000 bet that wins returns ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | -125 |
| Return on ৳1,000 Bet | ৳2,250 | ৳1,800 |
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change with Every Wicket
The ability to bet while a match is in progress is what sets live betting apart.
In cricket, odds change immediately every time a wicket falls. If the batting team was scoring big and suddenly loses two wickets, that team's odds of winning lengthen and the bowling team's odds shorten. Odds also refresh after every over.
Example: Team A needs 60 runs off the last 5 overs with 7 wickets in hand — at that moment Team A's odds are low (they are the favourite). If two batters get out in the next over, the odds can flip quickly.
In live betting you have less time to decide, so you need to read odds changes fast. It is sensible to stay within your budget rather than rush. Read our responsible gaming guidelines.
Some Useful Tips Before You Start Betting
A few key points to keep in mind if you want to approach betting like an experienced bettor.
- Choose one format first. T20 and Test matches move at completely different paces. Start by focusing on the format you watch the most.
- Be careful with multi bets. A three-selection multi bet looks attractive because the odds multiply, but if even one selection is wrong the whole bet is lost. For example, three selections at odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80 give a combined odds of 4.32 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳432 if all three are correct.
- Check the pitch and weather. On a spin-friendly pitch the bowling team has an advantage. If rain interrupts play, the result may change under the D/L method.
- Keep to your budget. Betting is entertainment, not investment. Decide in advance how much you will bet each day and stick to that limit.
- Keep live and pre-match markets separate. Pre-match bets give you more time to think. Live bets require quick decisions — the two call for different approaches.
- Monitor your account. Log in to l89 to check your betting history and balance at any time.
Multi Bet Calculation
Three match selections: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximate). A ৳100 bet returns ৳432 if all three are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
This calculation is an example only. Actual odds vary by match.
