sixs Cricket Betting — Best Odds on T20, ODI and Test Matches
From BPL to the T20 World Cup, from Bangladesh Tigers international series to IPL — sixs has multiple markets open for every match. Before the match or live, you can bet the way you want to play.
Three formats of cricket and major tournaments
To understand cricket betting, you first need to know the differences between formats. The style of play, duration, and range of possible outcomes vary across formats — so the markets work differently too.
Twenty20
Each team plays just 20 overs. The aim is to score quickly, so batters dominate. BPL and IPL are played in this format — the most familiar to Bangladeshi fans. In T20, odds in the match winner market change fast, making live betting particularly enjoyable.
One Day International
Each team plays 50 overs. There is more of a mix between strategy and patience. The ICC Cricket World Cup is held in this format. Total runs, top batsman, and player performance markets are popular in ODI.
Test Cricket
A five-day contest. A draw is a possible result, so you choose from three outcomes — team A wins, team B wins, or draw. Pitch conditions and weather have a direct effect on odds.
BPL
The Bangladesh Premier League is held every winter and sixs offers extensive markets for the tournament. You can place bets while watching the local teams compete.
IPL and International Series
In addition to the Indian Premier League and ICC tournaments, betting markets are available for Bangladesh Tigers matches in bilateral series. T20 World Cup and other ICC events have especially wide market coverage at sixs.
Popular markets for cricket at sixs
Cricket offers many types of markets beyond just the match result. The cards below explain seven popular markets and how each one works in straightforward terms.
Match Winner
Pick which of the two teams will win. Two options in T20 and ODI; three in Test (team A, team B, or draw). Example: team A vs team B — if you pick team B and team B wins, the bet is successful.
Easiest to start withToss Winner
Bet on the outcome of the coin toss before the match starts. Both teams have equal chances — odds are generally close. The toss has no relation to the match result, so treat it as a separate bet.
Quick resultTop Batsman
Pick which batter in a team will score the most runs. The highest scorer is determined at the end of the innings. This is a popular type of player performance market.
Player-basedTotal Runs Over/Under
Pick whether the total runs in an innings or the full match will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set line. Example: first innings line of 165 — over means 166 or more.
Runs-basedMulti Bet
Combine markets from multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return is larger — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Example: pick a team in three matches and create a multi bet.
Chance of a bigger returnOpening Partnership Runs
How many runs will be scored before the first wicket falls at the start of an innings — over or under a set number. The strength of a team's top order can guide decisions in this market.
Innings-basedHow odds are written in three formats
Across sixs and other betting platforms, the same odds may be shown in three ways — decimal, fractional, and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — Team A to win (bet ৳1,000):
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Multiply by the bet amount to get the total return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Win ৳5 for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | Win ৳125 on a ৳100 bet |
If team A wins, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If team A loses, ৳1,000 is lost.
Example 2 — Favourite team B to win (bet ৳1,000):
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Favourite odds close to 1 |
| Fractional | 1/4 | Win only ৳1 for every ৳4 staked |
| American | -400 | You need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100 |
If team B wins, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 (৳250 profit). In American format, a minus sign shows how much you need to bet to win ৳100.
sixs generally shows odds in decimal format because it is the easiest to calculate. Multiply the bet amount by the odds and you get the total return.
Differences in betting on football and other sports
sixs offers betting markets on football as well as cricket. There are some key differences between the two that are worth knowing.
The most popular market in football is 1X2 — team A wins (1), draw (X), or team B wins (2). This three-way market does not exist in T20 or ODI cricket, where only two outcomes are possible. However, Test cricket does include a draw option, giving three outcomes just like football.
Football has over/under markets based on the number of goals; cricket uses runs. Cricket also has wicket markets — such as who will take the most wickets — which adds a dimension that football does not have. Multi bets can be built in both sports, combining multiple selections into one bet.
sixs has a range of entertainment options — if you enjoy slots or live casino games beyond cricket and football, you can check out sixs Casino live tables and slot games.
Extra markets in cricket
Wicket-taking bowler, most sixes in an innings, Man of the Match — these markets are unique to cricket. Separate markets may also be available for individual overs or the powerplay.
Playing time and pace
A T20 match finishes in about three hours; Test matches last five days. Football matches are generally 90 minutes. The length of a game affects the number of markets available and the opportunities for live betting.
Live in-play betting — odds change during the match
At sixs you can place bets while a match is in progress — this is called live or in-play betting. In cricket, every wicket, every over, and the momentum of each team changes the odds in real time.
Odds shift when a wicket falls
When a top batter is dismissed, odds change quickly. A strong batting partnership pushes the favourite's odds down.
Powerplay and middle overs
In T20, you can bet on the next overs based on the score at the end of the powerplay. If the run rate slows or speeds up in the middle overs, odds adjust again.
Run rate and target
In the second innings, as the required run rate climbs, the batting team's odds of winning increase. Quick decisions are needed in in-play markets at these moments.
DLS method and rain breaks
If rain interrupts a match, the target may be recalculated using the DLS method. Live markets may be temporarily suspended during this time.
Live betting at sixs is easy to use on mobile. Android and iOS apps are available through official channels.
Some practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment — there is no guaranteed strategy for making a profit. Keeping a few general points in mind can make the experience more enjoyable.
Start with one market
If you are betting for the first time, start with a simple market like match winner. Try multi bets or in-play later, once the basics are clear.
Decide your stake amount in advance
Decide how much you want to place on each bet before you do so. After losing a bet, it is best not to immediately place a larger bet to try to recover the loss.
Keep an eye on pitch and weather conditions
In Test and ODI, the type of pitch (spin vs pace) shapes how the game plays out. If rain is forecast, total runs markets may behave differently.
Choose markets that suit the format
In T20, top batsman and wicket markets can be more enjoyable; in Test, the possibility of a draw needs to be factored in. Each format has its own characteristics.
Understand the risk in multi bets
If three selections have decimal odds of 1.50, 1.60, and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 — meaning a ৳100 bet returns ৳432, but if even one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Play responsibly
Betting is a form of entertainment — not a source of income. Set your own limits and follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
