elion Cricket Betting — BPL to T20 World Cup, Top Markets for Every Match
elion brings cricket fans in Bangladesh a complete cricket betting experience. From match winner to over-by-over live betting — all in one place.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
T20
Fast-paced Explosive battingIn this 20-over format, every ball counts. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup draw the biggest crowds in this format. From a betting perspective, odds change frequently in T20, which makes live betting especially popular.
ODI
50 overs Strategic playIn a 50-over ODI match, mid-over strategy and the finishing phase each add a different dimension to betting. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in the ODI format.
Test
5 days Classic cricketIn five-day Test cricket, a draw is a valid result — three possible outcomes create more complex options in betting. Wicket, session and innings-based markets are available specifically in Test cricket.
BPL is the most anticipated tournament of the year for fans in Bangladesh. Matches are held at venues across the country beyond Dhaka, giving local supporters the chance to attend in person. Bangladesh players also take part in IPL, so interest in IPL betting runs high domestically. When the Tigers take the field in international matches, both the number of markets and the volume of bets in elion's cricket betting section go up.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, elion offers betting on football and several other sports. Bangladeshi fans have a strong interest in European leagues and international football tournaments. The key difference between cricket and football betting is in the number of outcomes — T20 and ODI cricket have only two possible results (win/loss), while football adds a draw, making three possibilities, and odds are calculated accordingly.
Cricket offers cricket-specific markets like innings, overs, wickets and partnerships, which are not available in football. Football, on the other hand, has markets like half-time/full-time or corner count that do not exist in cricket. This variety is what makes betting on different sports a distinct experience.
Those interested in more than just cricket can find markets for various sports together at elion Bet Sportsbook.
Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting offers far more options than just predicting the match result. Here are the seven most-used markets on elion.
Match Winner
The simplest market — betting on which team will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two options; Test adds a draw. Pick team A or team B and place your bet.
Toss Winner
Betting on which team will win the toss before the match begins. Toss betting is entirely separate from the match result — it depends only on the coin flip on the field.
Top Batsman
Which batsman from which team will score the most runs in the match. This market offers two separate bets by team — top scorer for team A and top scorer for team B.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in an innings or the entire match will go above (over) or stay below (under) a set line (such as 160.5) — the overall batting performance of the team matters most in this market.
Top Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Pitch conditions and the opposition's batting lineup play an important role in this market.
Multi Bet
Combining bets from multiple matches creates a multi bet. Example: picking team A, team B and team A to win in three separate matches multiplies the three odds together, producing a potentially larger return — but if even one loses, the entire stake is gone.
Multi bet example: If the decimal odds for three matches are 1.40, 1.50 and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 (approximately). A ৳100 stake would return ৳378 if all three win — but if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone. Team A and team B are used here as numerical examples only and carry no promise of actual results.
Three Ways to Write Odds
Cricket betting odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three carry the same meaning; only the way they are expressed differs. The example below shows the difference using a specific bet.
| Format | Team A Win | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return of ৳2.50 for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake |
Decimal odds are the most common on betting platforms in Bangladesh because the calculation is straightforward — odds × stake = total return. elion shows decimal by default, but you can switch to your preferred format.
Before you start betting, it is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines — setting your own limits keeps it a form of entertainment.
Live In-Play Betting
The ability to place bets after a match has started is called live or in-play betting. It is especially useful in cricket because every wicket, every over and every big shot changes the odds instantly.
Say team A is batting and has had a strong start in the first ten overs. At that point, team A's odds to win will shorten and team B's odds will lengthen. Conversely, if two quick wickets fall, it creates an opportunity to bet against the team under pressure.
In live betting, decisions need to be made quickly — odds can shift from moment to moment. During powerplay overs with a high run rate, over/under market odds move fast; in Test cricket, a similar dynamic plays out at session changes.
Cash out: Many betting platforms offer the option to settle a bet while the match is still in progress (cash out). This adds flexibility — you can lock in a profit or limit a loss before the match ends.
Useful Tips Before You Start
Start with one format
T20, ODI and Test each have different rules and markets. Get familiar with one format first, then move on to the others. Starting with BPL makes it easier to bet on teams and conditions you already know.
Stick to a budget
Before each betting session, decide for yourself how much you are comfortable spending. Staying within that limit keeps betting a form of entertainment. The responsible gaming guide has more detail.
Start with match winner
The match winner market is the simplest for new bettors. Just pick one of two teams — no complex calculations, and the result is clear.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets can offer bigger returns, but the risk is also higher — one losing leg and the whole bet is gone. It is better to avoid adding too many selections early on.
Understand the odds properly
If you see decimal, fractional or American odds and feel confused, keep the example above in mind. Decimal is the simplest to calculate — odds × stake = total return.
Keep in mind
Betting is a form of entertainment — not a reliable source of income. There is no guarantee of winning any bet. It is best not to stake more than you can afford to lose.
