Cricket is the most popular sport in Bangladesh, and at Planbet you can bet on it all year round. The line includes international matches of national teams, the biggest T20 franchise leagues and domestic competitions. Here are the tournaments that attract the most bets from Bangladeshi players:

• Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) – the main T20 league of the country, organised by the Bangladesh Cricket Board. Matches are usually played in the winter months, and every game draws a lot of attention from bettors;
• Indian Premier League (IPL) – the most famous T20 league in the world with 10 franchise teams. The season usually runs from March to May and offers a wide choice of markets on every match;
• ICC Men’s T20 World Cup – the main T20 tournament for national teams, held every two years;
• ICC Cricket World Cup – the ODI championship held every four years, where the strongest teams compete for the main trophy in cricket;
• Asia Cup – the continental tournament of Asian national teams, including Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan;
• Bangladesh national team matches – Test, ODI and T20I series against other teams;
• Other T20 leagues – Pakistan Super League, Big Bash League, Caribbean Premier League, SA20 and The Hundred.

The exact list of events depends on the cricket calendar. Before major tournaments, you can usually also find long-term bets on the winner of the competition.

In each cricket match you can choose from several types of outcomes. The number of markets depends on the format and level of the game: top matches of the national team, BPL and IPL have the widest choice. The most popular types of bets are:

• Match Winner – a bet on the team that will win the game. In Test matches a draw is also possible;
• Toss Winner – a bet on which team will win the coin toss before the start of the match;
• Total Runs – a bet on whether a team or both teams will score more or fewer runs than the set number;
• Top Batsman and Top Bowler – a bet on the player who will score the most runs or take the most wickets for his team;
• Runs in an Over – a bet on the total number of runs in a specific over;
• Method of Dismissal – a bet on how the next batsman will be out: caught, bowled, LBW, run out or stumped;
• Player of the Match – a bet on the cricketer who will receive the award after the game;
• Sixes and Fours – totals on boundaries in the match or in a single innings.

You can place single bets on one outcome or combine several matches in an accumulator. Accumulators of three or more selections at odds of 1.40 or higher count towards wagering the sports welcome bonus.

Cricket is ideal for live betting: the situation on the field changes with every ball, and the odds change with it. In the live section of Planbet you can bet on matches that have already started and react to what is happening on the pitch – a fall of wickets, a strong partnership or a change in the run rate.

During the game, bets on the next over, the next wicket and the total runs of the innings are especially popular. To bet live, open the live betting section and select cricket. Keep in mind that the odds may change while you are adding an outcome to the bet slip, so confirm your bet quickly.

Live betting is also available for other sports, including football betting and tennis.

In cricket, statistics and match conditions matter a lot. These simple tips will help you make more informed bets:

• Take the format into account. T20 matches are short and unpredictable, while Test matches last up to five days and often end in a draw;
• Study the pitch and the weather. Some pitches help spinners, others favour batsmen, and rain can shorten the game;
• Follow the toss. The decision to bat or bowl first can change the balance, especially in evening matches when dew affects the ball;
• Check the line-ups. The absence of a key batsman or bowler often has a bigger effect than the odds show;
• Compare the current form and head-to-head results of the teams;
• Manage your bankroll. Set a budget in advance, do not chase losses and follow the principles of responsible gaming.

You can bet on cricket from your smartphone in two ways. The first is the official mobile website: every page adapts to the screen size, so it is comfortable to use on any device.

The second is the Planbet application. It is available as an APK for Android, and iPhone users can add the web app (PWA) to the home screen from Safari. The app gives quick access to live matches and notifications about bets and bonuses.
