Cricket Betting at l89 1 — Top Betting Experience for BPL, IPL and International Matches
l89 1 brings Bangladesh cricket fans the best markets for T20, ODI and Test matches. Follow how odds shift during a match, learn about popular betting markets, and bet the way you like.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
From T20 to Test — each format has its own pace and betting opportunities.
T20 — Fast and Intense
This twenty-over format is the most popular in Bangladesh. In BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup, the pace of play changes so quickly that odds shift from moment to moment. Bettors favour T20 most because the result stays uncertain right up to the last over.
ODI — Strategic Cricket
In fifty-over one-day matches, batting tactics and bowling plans directly influence betting markets. In the ICC Champions Trophy and bilateral series, ODI betting adds a different dimension — mid-innings run rate and powerplay performance play a big role here.
Test — A Test of Patience
Five-day Test cricket offers long-running betting market opportunities. Pitch behaviour, weather and innings margins influence odds gradually. Those who follow cricket closely tend to find the detailed Test markets appealing.
BPL — The Home League
The Bangladesh Premier League is the domestic franchise T20 competition. Familiar Bangladesh Tigers players compete for different teams, which keeps fan emotions high, and l89 1 opens BPL match markets before the games begin.
IPL — The World's Biggest T20
The Indian Premier League is the world's most talked-about franchise T20 tournament. IPL odds are very attractive to Bangladeshi bettors as well, since the league features the best players in the world on the same field.
International Series and ICC Events
International markets run throughout the year for the T20 World Cup, ICC ODI World Cup and bilateral series. Bangladeshi bettors naturally participate more in matches involving the national team.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, football betting is also popular at l89 1. Markets for the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FIFA World Cup qualifiers work a bit differently from cricket — in football a draw is possible, so the match winner market has three options: Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw.
Limited-overs formats in cricket (T20 and ODI) do not normally end in a draw — results are decided by a Super Over or the Duckworth-Lewis method. So the match winner market has only two options, and odds are structured accordingly. In Test cricket, however, a draw is possible, so the betting market is split three ways, as in football.
Betting on sports such as Kabaddi, tennis and badminton is also available at l89 1, though these have fewer markets than cricket and football. For details on the markets and rules for a specific sport, see the FAQ.
Introduction to Popular Betting Markets
Each market is different — learn how to bet in each one.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. Example: in a T20 match between Team A and Team B, if you think Team B will win, you place a bet on Team B. If Team B wins, you receive a return based on the odds; if they lose, you lose the bet.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss. This is a straightforward pre-match market — two options, roughly equal odds. There is no skill involved in winning a toss, so this is entirely luck-based.
Top Run Scorer
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs for their team in the match. Example: if you expect an opener from Team A to play a big innings, you can bet on that player.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set number (e.g. 160). If you think Team A is playing against a weak bowling attack, you could bet on Over.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Multiple matches or markets are combined on one bet slip — you only win if all selections are correct; one wrong pick and the entire bet is lost. If three selections have odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28, so a ৳100 bet returns ৳428 if all win.
Handicap and Innings Markets
In handicap betting, the weaker team is given a notional run advantage to balance the market. l89 1 also offers markets such as how many wickets will fall in a specific innings or who will hit the first six.
How to Read and Understand Odds
Decimal, fractional and American — three odds formats that express the same information in three different ways.
l89 1 generally displays odds in decimal format as it is the easiest to read. However, all three formats can be found on various sites — the table below shows a comparison of the same odds in all three formats.
| Odds Format | Team A Wins (Value) | Result (Bet ৳200) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Returns ৳600 if won (৳400 profit) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit per ৳1 bet → ৳400 profit |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet → ৳400 profit |
| Example with the favourite (Team B wins) | ||
| Decimal | 1.80 | ৳200 bet returns ৳360 (৳160 profit) |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit per ৳5 bet → ৳160 profit |
| American | -125 | Bet ৳125 to win ৳100 profit |
The examples above are for illustrative purposes only — they are not live odds for any specific match or a guarantee of future results.
Keep in mind:
- Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply the odds by your stake to get the total return.
- In American odds, a minus (-) sign indicates the favourite; a plus (+) sign indicates the underdog.
- Higher odds mean the bookmaker considers that outcome less likely.
Live In-Play Betting — During the Match
A wicket, a six, an over completed — odds change in an instant.
With live betting you can place a bet at any point after the match has started. In cricket this is especially significant, as a single wicket can change the entire picture of a match. For example — if Team A is at 90 runs for 3 wickets after 15 overs, the odds on Team B winning may shorten. Then if two sixes come in the next two overs, the odds can flip again.
In T20 matches, odds fluctuate most during the final five-over death overs. In ODI, the same happens after the 35th over when batsmen start playing aggressively. l89 1 live odds update in real time, so you can bet based on how the match is unfolding.
Keep in mind though — in live betting you have very little time to decide. Bet for entertainment, not out of impulse or rushed emotion. Read more about responsible betting.

Know This Before You Start Betting
Betting is entertainment — the right habits keep the experience enjoyable.
Set a Budget
Decide in advance how much you will bet. Stay within that limit — chasing losses with bigger bets is harmful.
Understand Each Market
Each market has slightly different rules. Make sure to read them carefully before betting, especially for handicap and innings markets.
Be Patient in Live Betting
In in-play betting, avoid rushing — give the odds time to settle. After a wicket falls, watching a few more balls before deciding is a good approach.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
Multi bets offer higher odds but carry higher risk. If any selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost — so keep the number of selections low.
Bet for Entertainment
See betting as part of enjoying the game, not as a source of income. Results are never guaranteed.
Read the Terms and Conditions
It is important to read the terms and conditions before you start betting — particularly regarding bonus wagering requirements and market rules.
