ncw Cricket Betting — BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bet on every format from T20 to Test, enjoy multiple markets, and take advantage of live in-play betting — all on one platform.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, the game is more than entertainment — it's passion. Every match the Tigers play feels like a celebration across the country. At ncw, you can bet on cricket across three main formats alongside that passion.
T20: The fastest format, completed in just 20 overs. BPL and IPL are the most popular leagues in this format. Because every ball matters, odds shift quickly, which makes live betting more engaging.
ODI: This 50-over format allows more room for strategy. The T20 World Cup and ICC international series are generally played in this format. More markets are available for bettors.
Test: This five-day format is a game of patience and analysis. Since a draw is possible, you can bet on three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw.
BPL
The Bangladesh Premier League is the favourite T20 tournament among domestic cricket fans. Multiple betting markets are available for each match.
IPL
The Indian Premier League features international-standard players, so it offers the greatest variety of odds.
ICC Tournaments
ncw offers betting on teams from around the world in the T20 World Cup and other ICC international events.
Football and Other Sports — Alongside Cricket
Besides cricket, you can bet on football and several other sports at ncw. Football has three possible outcomes — home win, away win, and draw — whereas a draw is not possible in T20 or ODI cricket. This difference directly affects the odds structure.
Football typically has more markets per match — number of goals, both teams to score, handicap, and more. Just as each over and wicket can change the course of a cricket match, each goal in football brings a significant shift in odds.
The variety of markets differs across other sports. Among Bangladeshi bettors, cricket is the most familiar and easiest to understand — knowing the rules of the game makes the markets easier to follow as well.
Popular Betting Markets at ncw
Cricket betting offers far more than just picking a winner. The most commonly used markets are briefly outlined below.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win the match. You pick one of two options: Team A or Team B. This is the most widely played market in T20 and ODI.
Toss Betting
Which team will win the toss — this is a completely separate market with no relation to the match result. The odds for both teams are usually roughly equal.
Top Batsman
Who will score the most runs in a match or an innings — this market lets you bet on a specific batsman. A separate market exists for each team.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs scored in an innings or across the full match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: will total runs exceed 165 — yes or no.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
You can combine the outcomes of multiple matches into a single bet. You win only if every selection is correct. ncw Bet offers multi bet in detail. If three separate matches have decimal odds of 1.50, 1.60, and 1.70, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 4.08 (approximately); a ৳100 bet returns ৳408, but if even one selection is wrong the entire ৳100 is lost.
First Wicket Result
In which over the first wicket will fall, or who will take it — this type of special market is quite popular in T20 betting. Ball-by-ball changes make this bet more exciting.
Handicap Betting
When there is a gap in strength between two teams, the weaker team is given a virtual advantage (handicap). This brings the odds for both teams closer together.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds on a betting platform are usually displayed in three different forms. Once you understand one, converting the others is straightforward.
Odds are essentially a number that tells you how much money you will get back if your bet wins. Decimal format is the most common at ncw, but fractional and American formats are also available.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Return on a ৳1,000 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 original stake) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳2,500 (same result) |
| American | +150 | ৳2,500 (same result) |
The example above shows Team A's winning odds in three formats — decimal 2.50, fractional 3/2, and American +150. A ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳2,500 if won (including ৳1,500 profit); if lost, ৳1,000 is gone.
Now suppose Team B is the favourite with decimal odds of 1.25 (fractional 1/4, American −400). In this case a ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳1,250 — a profit of only ৳250. A minus sign in American odds means how much you need to bet to win 100 units.
Betting is always for entertainment. Read the responsible gaming policy and keep to your budget.
LIVE Live In-Play — Betting During the Match
Live betting means you can place bets even after the match has started. After each over, after each wicket falls, odds are recalculated — and that change is what sets live betting apart from regular pre-match betting.
Odds shift when a wicket falls: When a key batting wicket goes down, the batting team's chances of winning fall, so their odds lengthen and the bowling team's odds shorten.
Powerplay and middle overs: Big shots are more frequent during the powerplay overs, so over/under market odds move quickly. If the game slows during the middle overs, the odds on the under side shorten.
Death overs: Teams go aggressive in the final 5 overs. The pace of market movement is highest at this point, so you need to pay close attention.
Budget management: There is less time to decide in live betting. It is important to stay within a pre-set budget so excitement does not lead to over-betting.
Things Worth Knowing Before You Start Betting
Understand one market well: It is better to start with simpler markets like Match Winner or Total Runs. Betting across all markets at once makes things complicated.
Set your budget first: Before each betting session, decide how much you will wager and stay within that limit. Betting is for entertainment, not a guaranteed way to earn money.
Know the format: A strategy that works in T20 may not work in Test cricket. Choose markets based on the format.
Compare odds: Odds vary across different markets for the same match. Look at which market offers better odds before placing a bet.
Be careful with multi bets: A multi bet offers higher potential returns but also higher risk — one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost. It is better not to include more than two or three selections when starting out.
Easy on the app: The ncw Android and iOS app is available through official channels. For more details, visit the ncw App page.
Keep in Mind
