Cricket betting at 9wickets link — follow every match of BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup in a different way
9wickets link offers a wide range of betting markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh — from before the first ball to the final over. Support in Bengali, local payment methods including bKash, and fast withdrawals.
Cricket's three formats and the tournaments Bangladeshis follow most
Cricket's three international formats — T20, ODI, and Test — are each played at a different pace and with different tactics. A T20 match is over within a few hours, so markets shift with every over. In a fifty-over ODI, a lot can change even mid-innings. Test cricket, spread over five days, calls for patience and the ability to read how the match is developing.
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, BPL is the closest tournament — familiar teams and familiar faces on home grounds. Alongside it, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the biggest seasonal attractions of the year. Many also bet on Bangladesh Tigers international matches — markets tend to be particularly active in competitive games.
At 9wickets link, betting is available for all the major tournaments across these three formats. Markets are open both before the match starts and in-play.
Football and other sports — betting beyond cricket
Alongside cricket, 9wickets link also offers betting on football. The English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and UEFA Champions League are widely followed in Bangladesh. In football, a match can end in one of three results — home win, draw, or away win. This extra possibility makes the odds structure different from cricket, where a draw does not occur in limited-overs formats.
Sports like tennis, badminton, or kabaddi have fewer markets available, but the main ones — match winner, set winner — remain active. In-play odds move according to the pace and break patterns of each sport: a goal in football or a wicket in cricket typically causes the biggest shifts in the market.
Overall, those interested in betting on multiple sports beyond cricket can do it all in one place at 9wickets link.
Popular cricket betting markets — how each market works
9wickets link offers several types of markets for cricket betting. Here is a brief introduction to seven common markets:
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which of the two teams will win. For example, Team A vs Team B, choose one. In T20, a draw is not possible in limited overs, so there are only two possible outcomes.
Most commonToss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match starts — this market closes before play begins. The result depends entirely on the coin, though pitch and weather conditions lead some to place importance on it.
Pre-matchTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in a given innings — one player is selected from the whole batting lineup. Top-order batsmen generally have lower odds.
Individual performanceTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs scored in the full match or a specific innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number — that is this market. Many experienced bettors favour it by considering the pitch and the bowling attack.
Totals marketTop Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match — spin vs pace, pitch type, and the team's bowling plan all play a significant role in this market.
Bowling performanceMulti Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches into a single bet. If every selection wins, the odds multiply — increasing the potential return, but if any one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple selectionsA note on handicap betting
In a handicap market, the weaker team is given a head start — for example, Team A gets a 15-run advantage. So if Team A loses by only 14 runs, Team A is still considered the winner under the handicap. Similarly, in an over/under market, the question is whether the number of runs or wickets will be above or below a set line.
How to read odds — explained with three format examples
9wickets link displays odds in decimal format by default, though it is worth knowing fractional and American formats as well. Below, all three formats are compared using a real example.
Example 1 — Underdog odds
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return of ৳2.50 for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit on a ৳2 bet |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet |
If Team A wins, a ৳200 bet returns ৳500 in total (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, ৳200 is lost.
Example 2 — Favourite odds
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | Total return of ৳1.80 for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit on a ৳5 bet |
| American | −125 | A ৳125 bet is needed to make ৳100 profit |
If Team B wins, a ৳200 bet returns ৳360 in total (৳160 profit). American minus odds always indicate a favourite.
How odds are calculated in a multi bet
If the decimal odds of three selections are 1.40, 1.50, and 1.90 — the combined odds will be 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). That means a ৳100 bet returns ৳399 if all three selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost. This is why a multi bet offers high potential returns but also carries higher risk.
To better understand the rules around betting, it is worth reading 9wickets link's terms and conditions — especially before opening an account for the first time.
Live in-play betting LIVE — wickets and overs change everything
In-play or live betting is the ability to place bets while a match is in progress. In cricket, odds shift quickly after each over — and especially when a wicket falls. Say Team A has started well, but suddenly loses 2 wickets in 3 overs — their odds of winning will lengthen immediately, and Team B's odds will shorten.
Decisions in live markets need to be made quickly. The run rate in the powerplay, a bowler's form in the death overs, or a rain break — each of these has an immediate effect on the market. This fast-moving nature is what many bettors find appealing about in-play betting.
That said, making rushed decisions in live markets increases risk. Betting is always for entertainment, and should be done within your means. To learn more about betting responsibly, see 9wickets link's responsible gaming guidelines.
A few practical tips for cricket betting
Focus on one match at a time
Rather than placing bets on many matches at once, focus on one or two. It becomes easier to read the situation and choose your markets accordingly.
Set your budget first
Decide how much you will bet in a session before you start. Avoid the urge to place more bets to recover losses.
Choose markets based on the format
In T20, total runs markets settle quickly. In Test, a match winner market requires long-term patience. Matching your market choice to the format makes the betting experience more enjoyable.
Betting is entertainment, not investment
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. It should not be seen as a source of income or a guaranteed way to make money. Never bet with money you cannot afford to lose.

Go to 9wickets link Login and open an accountBetting exchange — how Back and Lay differ
In a traditional sportsbook, you bet against the bookmaker. In a betting exchange, you bet directly against other bettors. There are two sides — Back (betting on a team to win) and Lay (betting on a team not to win).
As an example, backing Team A at decimal odds of 1.80 with a ৳1,000 bet — if Team A wins, the profit before commission is ৳800; if Team A does not win, ৳1,000 is lost. Equally, laying Team A (against a backer's ৳1,000 bet) — if Team A does not win, you receive ৳1,000 before commission; if Team A wins, you pay ৳800 (liability = ৳1,000 × 0.80).
Odds on the exchange are generally slightly better than those offered by a bookmaker, but a commission is charged on each winning bet.
