Cricket Betting at wj2 — Top Markets for BPL, IPL and T20
From T20 to Test, from BPL to T20 World Cup — wj2 offers betting on every cricket format. Match winner, toss, top batsman and live in-play betting — all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Competitions
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a feeling. From stadiums in Dhaka to village grounds, people watch every Bangladesh Tigers match with bated breath. wj2 has built a complete betting experience around that love of cricket.
T20: The fastest format, where the situation can change every over. Franchise leagues like BPL and IPL are played in the T20 format, and these have the most active betting markets. The T20 World Cup comes every two years, and betting activity naturally rises sharply during that time.
ODI: In this fifty-over format, matches are longer and the style of betting changes accordingly. Markets such as total runs, partnerships, or runs in a specific powerplay are more popular here.
Test: In a five-day match the result can often be a draw, so alongside the match winner market there is also a draw market. Specialist markets like bowling performance and a batsman's century make Test betting stand apart.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Beyond cricket, wj2 also offers betting on football. Football's popularity in Bangladesh rises especially during the World Cup and European league seasons. In football, three outcomes are generally possible — home team wins, away team wins, or a draw — which is different from cricket.
The key difference between cricket and football betting is that cricket odds change faster — a wicket or a big six can shift live market odds in an instant. In football, odds stay relatively stable until a goal is scored. In addition, sports like tennis or badminton usually allow bets on just two outcomes — winner or loser.

wj2's Popular Betting Markets
Understanding the types of bets is important for any new player. Below are seven common markets explained briefly.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match — the simplest and most widely played market. For example, if you bet on Team A to win, you are paid only if they win.
Toss Betting
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is settled quickly and has no connection to match performance.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the entire match. Analysing the team's batting order and current form makes this market interesting.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in the whole match or a single innings will be above or below a set number. Pitch conditions and weather play an important role here.
Multi Bet
Multiple matches or markets can be combined into a single bet. You win only if every selection is correct — if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Top Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Pace bowler versus spinner, pitch conditions — there is plenty to analyse before placing this bet.
Handicap Betting
One team is given a virtual advantage in runs or wickets to level the betting margin. Handicap markets are most useful when one team is clearly stronger than the other. For example, if Team B is given a 30-run handicap, 30 runs are added to Team B's score when calculating the result.
How to Read and Understand Odds
On wj2 and most betting platforms, odds are displayed in three formats. The examples below make it easy to understand the difference.
Worked Example 1 — Team A to win (stake ৳200)
All three formats represent the same value: decimal 2.50 = fractional 3/2 = American +150. A ৳200 stake returns a total of ৳500 if won (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake back); if lost, ৳200 is gone. This is the cost of entertainment — a return is not guaranteed.
Worked Example 2 — Team B to win (favourite)
Decimal 1.80 = fractional 4/5 = American −125. A negative American number means how much you need to stake to win ৳100 — here −125 means a ৳125 stake to win ৳100 profit. A ৳200 stake returns a total of ৳360 if won (৳160 profit).
Decimal odds are the simplest
Stake × odds = total return. This is the most widely used format on platforms in Bangladesh.
Fractional odds show profit
3/2 means ৳3 profit on a ৳2 stake — the original stake is returned separately.
American odds use + and −
+ means underdog, − means favourite. Both are calculated on a base of 100.
Live In-Play Betting — Bet While the Match is On
Live Betting — during the match
Cricket live in-play betting is one of the most fast-moving experiences around. When a wicket falls, the run rate shifts immediately and market odds change with it. Suppose Team A loses two wickets in the first powerplay — at that moment Team B's odds to win will shorten and Team A's odds will lengthen.
The total runs over/under market also stays active as the overs go by. If a team still has wickets in hand and a good run rate in the final ten overs, the over market odds will tighten. In exactly this way, the market moves with every ball bowled.
One thing to keep in mind in live betting — the pressure to decide quickly makes it even more important to stick to your budget limit. Read the responsible gaming guidelines to stay more informed about betting.
Some Useful Betting Tips
Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. Keeping the following points in mind helps make the experience a healthy one.
- Set a budget first: Before each session, decide how much you are willing to bet. Do not go beyond that limit.
- Focus on one format: For new players, starting with T20 or ODI is a good idea, as results come quickly and the markets are easier to understand.
- Be careful with multi bets: Multi bets offer the chance of a large return, but one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost. Combining more than three selections at once is risky.
- Understand the odds before placing a bet: Decimal, fractional or American — use whichever you are comfortable with. Check the calculations against the examples above.
- Keep a clear head in live betting: Placing bet after bet in the heat of a match increases the risk of losses. Take a moment before each bet.
- Read the rules: Make sure you fully understand the terms and conditions of any bonus or promotion. Full details are available on the Terms and Conditions page.
