ppvip Cricket Betting — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
ppvip offers a wide range of betting markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh — match winner, toss, top batsman, over/under runs and live in-play markets across T20, ODI and Test formats. Learn how to read odds, what each market offers and how to get started practically.
The three cricket formats and Bangladeshis' favourite competitions
The three main cricket formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have their own rhythm and strategy. T20 is just twenty overs, so every ball matters. Scores shift quickly, and a wicket can change the whole picture. That pace is what makes T20 the most popular format for betting.
ODI is a fifty-over contest — a team's depth and planning show more clearly here. How the run rate and wickets shift in the middle overs also affects the odds. Test matches run over five days — pitch behaviour, weather and player fitness all play a major role.
In Bangladesh, the most discussed competition is the BPL — the country's franchise T20 league, where local and overseas stars play together. IPL is India's league, but it has a large following in Bangladesh too. At international level, the ICC T20 World Cup and the ODI World Cup draw the most betting traffic. All these competitions' matches are available to bet on across various markets at ppvip.
Popular betting markets at ppvip
Cricket betting is not limited to the match result — several different markets are open within the same match. Below are seven common markets explained in plain terms.
-
Match Winner
Choosing which team will win the match. Example: team A vs team B — you think team A will win, so you bet on them. If the result goes your way, you receive a return based on the set odds.
Most Popular -
Toss Winner
Predicting which team will win the toss before the match starts. This market depends on a single moment, so the result is known quickly. Example: will team A win the toss — since the probability is roughly 50/50, the odds are usually close to even.
Quick Result -
Top Batsman
Choosing which batsman will score the most runs in the match. Several batsmen from both teams are listed — you can pick any one of them. A player's current form and pitch conditions are relevant in this market.
Individual Performance -
Total Runs Over/Under
Predicting whether the total runs scored in the first innings or the full match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: say the line is 160 runs — if you think team A will score more than 160, you bet over.
Run-Based -
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining results from multiple matches on the same slip — all selections must be correct to win. Example: you pick three teams across three matches at odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.90 — the combined odds are 5.17 (rounded), so a ৳100 stake returns ৳517 on a win; but if any one selection loses, the entire stake is gone.
Higher Return Potential -
Over of First Wicket
Predicting in which over the first wicket will fall. Since wickets tend to fall more during the powerplay, the odds are set accordingly.
In-Match Action -
Top Wicket-Taker
Choosing which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. The nature of the pitch — pace-friendly or spin-friendly — has a big influence on this market.

How to read odds — Decimal, Fractional and American
Betting sites generally display three types of odds. All three express the same probability — only the format differs. Once you understand them, you can work out the figures in any format easily.
Team A wins, stake ৳200: Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If the bet wins, total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake); if it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Team B wins (favourite): Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳200 stake, the total return on a win is ৳360 (৳160 profit).
Decimal odds are the simplest to use — multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return. ppvip shows decimal format by default, but you can switch to another format if you prefer.
Live Betting — odds shift with every wicket and over
In-play or live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, every wicket or big six causes the odds to change immediately. Watching those changes unfold as you bet adds a distinct element to the experience.
In T20, if two wickets fall before the powerplay ends, that team's chances of winning drop — so their odds rise and the opposition's odds fall. In ODI, the total runs market line moves repeatedly depending on how the run rate is tracking through the middle overs.
In Test matches, the longer the pitch is used, the more spinners come into play. If pitch behaviour changes on the third or fourth day, the odds in the series winner market can shift noticeably. That is why understanding the flow of the match and making quick decisions matters in live betting.
During live betting at ppvip, you can see odds, recent wickets and current over information on the same screen. If you are playing on mobile, you can follow live markets easily through the ppvip app.
Differences between cricket, football and other sports betting
Cricket Betting
In cricket, every wicket, over and partnership affects the markets. Market variety is the greatest — from in-match moments to long series.
Football Betting
In football, scorelines are generally low, so each goal has a large impact. Markets such as match winner, draw and both teams to score are popular. You can bet separately on the half-time score and the final result.
Tennis and Others
In tennis, each set and game creates its own market. The ppvip tennis betting page has a detailed discussion of the sport's own markets and strategies.
Cricket's main distinction is the long duration of play and the constantly changing situation. In a five-day Test match, pitch, weather and player fitness all have to be considered together — which is not the case to the same extent in other sports. In football, a goal can come at any point in ninety minutes of continuous play, so odds tend to be relatively stable.
