Cricket betting at l89 — top markets from BPL to the T20 World Cup
l89 offers a wide range of betting markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Whether it is T20, ODI, or Test — enjoy markets from match winner to top batsman across every format. Live in-play betting, easy deposits, and fast withdrawals make it a complete experience.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
Each format has its own pace and character — understanding these differences is important before placing bets.
T20
Each team plays 20 overs. The limited time means big shots, quick wickets, and dramatic last-over changes are common. BPL, IPL, and the T20 World Cup are played in this format and are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. In betting, odds in this format shift instantly.
ODI (One Day International)
50 overs per side. Strategy, run rate, and partnerships together shape the result across the full match. The ICC Champions Trophy, Asia Cup, and bilateral series are played in this format. In betting markets, significant odds swings are seen around the middle overs.
Test Cricket
A five-day match that tests patience and strategy. Pitch conditions, weather, and batting and bowling performances in each innings all influence betting odds. A draw is a possible result in this format, so the market works with three options.
BPL and Major Tournaments
BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is Bangladesh's most prominent franchise tournament. l89 also offers extensive betting markets for IPL, the ICC T20 World Cup, and the Tigers' matches in bilateral series. Coverage of these competitions goes beyond a standard match — special markets are available too.
Beyond cricket — football and other sports
At l89, football gets as much attention as cricket. You can bet on Premier League, La Liga, Champions League, and Bangladesh Football League matches. In football, goals can change at any point in 90 minutes, which keeps live markets more active.
The key difference between cricket and football betting is the number of outcomes. T20 has only two results (no draw), while Test and football each have three possible results — this directly affects market odds. Other sports such as kabaddi, tennis, and badminton are also available in l89's betting options.

The most popular markets and how they work
Each market has its own rules — here is a simple explanation of seven markets.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. Two options in T20 (Team A / Team B), three in Test (Team A win, Team B win, draw). The most common market.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts — nothing more. The result is entirely random, so odds for both teams are roughly equal.
Top Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs for a specific team. Batting order and current form are important factors in this market.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs in a match or innings be more than (over) or less than (under) a set number — this market is about total runs, not a single team's score.
Top Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Whether the pitch favours spin or pace directly affects this market.
Multi Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches or markets into one bet. If all selections are correct you get a larger return, but if one is wrong the whole bet loses.
Handicap Betting
To reduce the gap between two teams, the weaker team is given a hypothetical run or wicket advantage. For example, if Team B is given a +1.5 run advantage, that margin is added to the result.
Three types of odds formats — with examples
Odds on betting platforms are written in three different ways. l89 generally uses the decimal format, but understanding all three makes it easier to make betting decisions.
| Odds Format | Team A Win | Team B Win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | −200 |
Example 1 — Team A wins, bet ৳200
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If the bet wins, total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake). If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Odds of 2.50 means a total return of ৳2.50 for every ৳1 staked (profit of ৳1.50).
Example 2 — Team B (favourite), bet ৳200
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American −200. Total return ৳300 (৳100 profit + ৳200 stake).
American minus odds (−200) means you need to bet ৳200 to make ৳100 in profit.
The lower the odds, the bigger the favourite. No odds can go below decimal 1.0 — that would mean getting back less than the stake.
When a wicket falls, odds change instantly
Live betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. Odds are recalculated after every over, every wicket, and every boundary. Watching these changes and making informed decisions is what makes live betting engaging.
Say Team A has scored just 20 runs in 5 overs and lost 2 wickets — their odds to win will go up (meaning higher payout) because they are under pressure. On the other hand, if Team B scores 50 runs in the powerplay, their odds to win will shorten. Identifying these patterns is central to live market betting.
As the target becomes easier for the batting team in the death overs, odds shift faster. If rain stops play and a new target is set via the DLS method, l89 temporarily suspends the market.

What to know before you start
- Focus on one format: T20, ODI, or Test — betting on the format you watch regularly makes it easier to read how a match is going.
- Start with small bets: Begin with small amounts to get familiar with markets and odds. Betting is for entertainment — it is better not to use your entire budget at once.
- Keep multi bet selections limited: Adding more selections increases the potential return but also the risk. If you combine more than three selections, one wrong pick loses the whole bet.
- Live odds change fast: In-play betting requires quick decisions. Watching the match live while placing bets makes it easier to follow what is happening.
- Set your own limits: Decide in advance how much you will bet per day or per week. Follow l89's Responsible Gaming guidelines.
- Pitch report and weather: Pitch conditions have a big impact on betting markets, especially in Test matches. If rain is forecast, be careful with total runs markets.
Multi Bet Example
Three selections with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.80, and 1.90 — the combined odds will be:
A ৳100 bet returns ৳479 — but only if all three selections are correct. If one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Betting is a form of entertainment — winning is not guaranteed. Participation is not allowed under the age of 21.
