Cricket Betting at hiy baji — T20 to Test, BPL to World Cup
Bet on every match of Bangladesh's most popular sport. From match winner, toss and top batsman to live in-play — hiy baji has all formats in one place.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — What Each One Is Like
Cricket has three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. The type of betting differs in each, because the pace, strategy and uncertainty of outcomes are different.
T20
Quick results in just 20 overs, so odds can change with every ball. T20 betting is most popular in BPL and IPL.
ODI
Top batsman and over total markets are most common in 50-over matches. This format has the widest range of betting options at the ICC World Cup.
Test
Five-day matches involve more strategic play. A draw is a possible result, so you get three sets of odds — markets stay active from the first innings.
BPL and International
BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup each have their own character when it comes to betting. Bangladesh Tigers matches attract the most open markets.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, hiy baji also offers football betting. The betting structure differs between football and cricket. Football has markets like match winner, both teams to score or first goalscorer. Cricket has match winner along with per-over and wicket-based markets, which are not usually found in football.
T20 cricket results can come within a few hours, while a Test can take five days — so betting plans differ accordingly. Football has a fixed rhythm of 90 minutes, but in cricket the pitch, weather and toss all combine to change the character of the game.
For those looking for more entertainment beyond sports betting, hiy baji also offers live casino and slot games — all on one platform.

Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
Many markets open for every cricket match at hiy baji. Below is a simple introduction to seven of them.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. Example: when betting between Team A and Team B, pick one team and receive returns accordingly.
Most PopularToss Betting
Bet on the toss result before the match starts. Whether Team A or Team B wins the toss — this market closes before the match begins.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Which batsman in a team will score the most runs. Restricted to a specific team, so there are separate markets for each side.
Interesting MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether total runs in the whole match or a single innings will be above or below a set number — that is over/under betting. Example: whether total runs in a T20 will exceed 160.
Run BasedMulti Bet
Select multiple matches or markets and combine them into one bet. If all selections are correct, you receive returns at the combined odds — but if one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Higher Return PotentialTop Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets — this market is available mainly in Test and ODI matches. Consider pitch conditions and batting order.
Bowling FocusedHow to Read Odds — Decimal, Fractional and American
Betting platforms display three types of odds. All three express the same probability in different forms. Two concrete examples are given below.
Example 1 — A team less likely to win
Team A to win, bet ৳200. The same odds in all three formats:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳3 returned for every ৳1 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
If you bet ৳200 and Team A wins, you receive ৳600 back (৳400 profit + ৳200 original bet). If they lose, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite team's odds
Team B to win, bet ৳200. The favourite's odds are lower:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | ৳1.80 returned for every ৳1 |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit for every ৳5 |
| American | -125 | ৳125 needed to make ৳100 profit |
If you bet ৳200 and Team B wins, you receive ৳360 back (৳160 profit). American minus odds mean that amount must be wagered to make ৳100 profit.
All three formats express the same outcome — only the way they are written differs. On the betting page at hiy baji Bet, odds are generally shown in decimal format, which is the easiest for newcomers.
Live In-Play — Odds Change with Wickets and Overs
You can bet while the match is in progress — this is called live or in-play betting. In T20, odds change instantly after every wicket, six or four.
Say Team A loses 3 quick wickets in the powerplay — Team B's odds of winning may shorten and Team A's may lengthen. This constant movement is what makes live betting a different experience.
Live betting in Test matches is slower, but big shifts in odds occur after changes in pitch conditions, weather, or when a large partnership is broken. In ODI, the pressure of the final 10 overs is when live betting is most active.
If you want to do live betting conveniently on your smartphone, you can download the hiy baji App — both Android and iOS versions are available through official channels.
Useful Betting Tips — Keep It Within Limits
Betting is purely for entertainment — think of it as the fun of the game, not a way to earn money. A few simple habits help keep that fun going longer.
Set a Budget in Advance
Decide how much you will put into betting before each match and do not go beyond that limit. If you lose, do not place a bigger bet to try to recover it.
Do Not Put Everything on One Match
Instead of staking all your money on one match, spread it across a few. That way, if one goes wrong, the rest of the fun remains.
Avoid Rushing in Live Betting
Odds move very fast in in-play betting. Rather than making a quick decision, watch the market for a moment before placing your bet.
Know the Responsible Gaming Rules
Staying within your own limits when betting is important. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines at hiy baji will help you understand when it is time to take a break.
Learn to Read Odds
Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply the number you see by your stake and you get the total return. Go back and re-read the examples above.
