Match Types & Tournaments
Not all cricket is the same. The format changes how long the game runs, how many wickets matter and which markets make sense. Here is a quick reference before you open the ban99 sportsbook.
| Format | Overs per side | Duration | Best markets | Key tournaments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T20 T20 | 20 | 3–4 hours | Match winner, top batsman, total sixes | BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup |
| ODI ODI | 50 | 7–8 hours | Match winner, 1st innings total, top wicket-taker | Asia Cup, ICC Cricket World Cup, bilateral series |
| Test Test | Unlimited | Up to 5 days | Match result (Win/Draw/Win), series winner | Bangladesh home Tests, ICC World Test Championship |
Bangladesh Premier League (BPL)
BPL is the most followed T20 franchise competition for Bangladesh players. Matches are short, results are clear and ban99 typically offers live in-play markets throughout the innings. If you are new to cricket betting, a BPL T20 is the easiest starting point — the match finishes the same evening you place the bet.
Indian Premier League (IPL)
IPL attracts the widest range of markets on ban99 during the April–May window. Because every franchise has overseas stars, you will find top-batsman markets that go well beyond the two teams on the scorecard. Set your bet limits before the session starts — IPL evenings move fast.
International Matches
Bangladesh national team fixtures — home or away — are listed under the International section of the ban99 sportsbook. ODI and Test series carry longer-running markets such as series winner and player of the series, which you can place before the first ball is bowled.
Common Betting Markets at ban99
ban99 lists each match's markets in a vertical panel on the right. These are the five you will see on almost every game — and what they actually mean.
| Market name | What you are predicting | Settles when | Formats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match Winner (1X2 / 1–2) | Which team wins the match outright | End of match | T20, ODI, Test |
| Total Runs — Over/Under | Whether combined runs exceed a line set by ban99 | End of specified innings | T20, ODI |
| Top Batsman | Which player scores most runs for one team in that innings | End of that team's innings | T20, ODI, Test |
| Top Wicket-Taker | Which bowler takes most wickets for one team in that innings | End of opponent's innings | ODI, Test |
| 1st Over Total Runs | How many runs are scored in the very first over | After over 1 | T20, ODI |
Tip: The Match Winner market is the simplest to start with — one outcome, clear result. Once you are comfortable reading odds and tracking your wins, explore the over/under and player markets gradually.
How Decimal Odds Work
ban99 displays decimal odds (also called European odds). The number tells you your total return per ৳1 staked — including your original stake. The formula is straightforward.
Odds reading
Bangladesh win odds. For every ৳100 you stake, you get back ৳240 if they win — ৳140 profit plus your ৳100 stake.
Stake × Odds = Return
Stake ৳500 at 2.40. Total return ৳1,200. Profit = ৳1,200 − ৳500 = ৳700.
Implied probability
Divide 1 by the odds to get the implied win probability. Odds of 1.50 imply 66.7%, odds of 3.00 imply 33.3%.
Quick odds reference table
Use this to translate any decimal odd into a rough probability before you decide whether the price looks fair.
| Decimal odds | Implied probability | Profit on ৳1,000 stake | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.30 | 76.9% | ৳300 | Heavy favourite |
| 1.80 | 55.6% | ৳800 | Moderate favourite |
| 2.00 | 50.0% | ৳1,000 | Even money |
| 3.00 | 33.3% | ৳2,000 | Underdog |
| 5.00 | 20.0% | ৳4,000 | Long shot |
All figures above are illustrative examples only. Actual odds on ban99 change in real time depending on the match and market.

Knowing the limits before you bet keeps surprises off the table. Here are the figures from ban99's platform that apply to all sports betting, including cricket.

How to read your bet slip total
When you add a selection to your slip, ban99 shows two numbers: Stake (what you put in) and Potential Return (Stake × Odds). The return includes your original stake. Profit = Potential Return − Stake. Nothing is deducted until the bet settles.
Live in-play betting
ban99 updates odds after every ball during live T20 and ODI matches. In-play stakes carry the same minimum of ৳100. Odds can shorten very quickly after a wicket or a six — if the odds change between your tap and confirmation, ban99 will show you the new price before you commit.
Bet with a Clear Head, Not Just a Good Hunch
Cricket is exciting. That excitement can push you to stake more than planned, especially during a close T20 chase. These four habits help you stay in control.
Decide the maximum you will deposit for one day's cricket before you open the app. When it is gone, stop. Chasing losses after a wicket rarely works out.
Beginners who open five markets at once lose track of their total exposure. Start with Match Winner only, then add markets one per session as you learn.
Keep a simple note — match, market, stake, result. Reviewing a week of bets honestly shows you which markets are actually profitable for you.
ban99 is strictly for adults. If betting starts to feel like a necessity rather than entertainment, contact ban99 Support (24/7 live chat) to discuss deposit or session limits.

Questions Players Ask
Where do I find the BPL match schedule on ban99?
Log in, go to Sports → Cricket → BPL. Upcoming fixtures are listed in chronological order with kick-off times in Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). You can tap any fixture to see its pre-match markets up to 48 hours before the first ball. During BPL season, ban99 usually adds in-play markets as well.
What is the minimum amount I can stake on a single cricket bet?
The minimum stake at ban99 is ৳100 per selection, which is the same as the minimum deposit. That makes it easy to try a market without a large commitment. There is no minimum for parlays (accumulators) beyond each individual leg meeting the ৳100 threshold.
What happens if a cricket match is abandoned or rained off?
If a match is officially abandoned before a result is possible under the competition's rules (for example, a Duckworth-Lewis revised result in rain-shortened ODIs counts as a full result), ban99 voids all unsettled bets and returns stakes to your account. This typically shows in your account within a few hours of the official abandonment announcement. Live in-play bets that were placed before the interruption follow the same policy.
Can I bet on a T20 match after it has already started?
Yes. ban99 offers live in-play betting on T20 and most ODI matches. Odds update after each ball and markets may be briefly suspended around wickets or at the drinks break. You can bet on Match Winner, next over total, current partnership and other in-play markets. Minimum stake stays at ৳100. Access the live match panel from the Sports lobby or the ban99 app.
Does the welcome bonus count towards cricket bets?
The first-deposit welcome bonus (230% up to ৳10,500) is subject to 21× wagering. Cricket bets with decimal odds of 1.50 or above typically count toward that wagering requirement — check the full Terms & Conditions on ban99 for the exact contribution rate. Once the 21× is met within the 7-day validity window, your bonus converts to real withdrawable balance. The 19% reload bonus also applies on subsequent deposits.
How do I withdraw my cricket winnings and how long does it take?
Go to Account → Withdraw, enter the amount (minimum ৳1,300, daily cap ৳80,000 for Starter tier), select your mobile banking method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket or Upay) and confirm. Withdrawals process in roughly 4 minutes once your KYC documents have been verified. If you have not done KYC yet — National ID, Passport or Driving Licence — complete it first via Account → Verification. First-time withdrawals may take up to 1 hour while the documents are reviewed. See the full ban99 Withdrawal & KYC Guide for step-by-step instructions.
