Cricket Formats Explained – T20, ODI, Test & The Hundred
Understanding format differences helps you make smarter bets on every match type.
T20 Format
Each side bats for 20 overs (120 deliveries). Matches last around 3–3.5 hours. The explosive pace creates enormous betting variety: top scorer, six count, powerplay runs, and match winner markets all see heavy volume. BPL and IPL are the flagship T20 competitions for Bangladeshi bettors.
ODI Format
50 overs per side, spanning approximately 7–8 hours. ODIs offer deeper statistical markets — run totals, wickets in the first 15 overs, player milestones, and match result with DLS adjustments. The ICC Cricket World Cup and Asia Cup are key ODI events watched closely from Dhaka to Khulna.
Test Cricket
Five days, two innings each — Test cricket is the purest form of the game. Betting markets focus on series outcomes, first-innings leads, individual session winners, and player performance over multiple days. Bangladesh Tigers Test matches at Mirpur attract passionate local support and consistent betting interest.
The Hundred
A British innovation featuring 100 balls per side (roughly 2.5 hours total). Its compressed, entertainment-first format has generated new betting markets around set-by-set scoring, power surges, and top team scores. Growing in international awareness among Bangladesh's cricket-betting community.

Major Cricket Sponsorships in the Bangladesh Market
A look at how online gaming brands are partnering with cricket across South Asia — an industry-wide trend shaping the sport's commercial landscape.
The intersection of cricket and online gambling has produced some of the most high-profile sports marketing deals in recent South Asian history. Across the Bangladesh market in particular, several prominent platforms have aligned themselves with internationally recognised cricket properties to build brand awareness among fans who follow the sport with deep passion.
Babu88 & The Hundred Franchises
Babu88 has established a visible presence across franchise cricket, including associations with teams competing in The Hundred tournament. Their sponsorship strategy targets exactly the demographic that also engages heavily with BPL cricket back home in Bangladesh.
Crickex Regional Presence
Crickex has built its entire brand identity around cricket, with regional sponsorships and ambassador programmes specifically aimed at South Asian audiences. Their focus on cricket-first marketing resonates strongly with Bangladesh's sport-loving gambling community.
Jeetbuzz & Andre Russell
Jeetbuzz appointed West Indian T20 powerhouse Andre Russell as a brand ambassador, making a direct connection between elite T20 talent and the Bangladesh online gaming audience. The strategy has proven effective at generating recognition among BPL followers.
The above examples are publicly reported industry information provided for educational and contextual purposes. They do not imply any sponsorship or affiliation between the mentioned entities and 98ab.
Bankroll Management Guide
One of the most important skills any gambler can develop — whether you are betting on BPL cricket from Mymensingh or spinning slots from Cox's Bazar — is sound bankroll management. Playing with discipline makes your gaming sessions more enjoyable and significantly extends the fun.
- Set a Fixed Monthly Budget. Decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending on entertainment each month. Treat this amount the same way you would a cinema or restaurant budget — it is discretionary spending, not investment capital.
- Divide Into Session Amounts. Split your monthly budget into smaller session amounts (for example, 10 sessions of ৳500 each from a ৳5,000 monthly budget). This prevents burning through your entire bankroll in a single evening.
- Follow the 1–5% Per-Bet Rule. Never stake more than 1–5% of your total bankroll on any single bet or spin. This keeps losing runs manageable and gives variance time to even out.
- Set a Win Goal and Walk Away. Decide before you start what a "good session" looks like — for example, a 30% profit on your session amount. When you reach it, stop. L ocking in wins is how long-term players stay ahead.
- Set a Loss Limit and Honour It. Equally important: decide your maximum loss per session before you begin. If you hit that number, close the browser and come back another day. Chasing losses is the single most common cause of problem gambling.
- Track Your Play History. Keep a simple note — even a phone memo — of your deposits, withdrawals, and session results each week. Patterns become visible quickly, and awareness is the foundation of responsible play.

What Our Players Are Saying
Real feedback from 98ab members across Bangladesh.
"I have tried a few betting sites before, but 98ab is honestly on another level. The BPL odds are sharp, the bKash withdrawal hit my account in about four minutes — I was genuinely surprised. The cricket live-betting interface is clean and fast, even on my older Android. Highly recommend to anyone serious about cricket betting in Bangladesh."
"The live casino section is what keeps me coming back. Evolution Gaming Baccarat with a real dealer at 2am — that is something else. Customer support replied in English within two minutes when I had a question about my bonus. The Nagad deposit was instant. 98ab feels like a proper international platform built for us here in Bangladesh."
"I mostly play slots — Pragmatic Play titles are my favourite. The welcome bonus terms at 98ab are actually readable, not buried in fine print like some other sites. 30x wagering is fair. I withdrew my first big win through Rocket and it cleared same day. Based in Sylhet and the platform works perfectly on my phone with no lag at all."
Responsible Gaming Tools
98ab takes player welfare seriously. These tools are available to every account holder — free of charge, immediately effective.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps directly from your account settings. Once a limit is active it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before the change is applied — this is intentional.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over any rolling time period. When your loss limit is reached, your account is automatically paused for the remainder of that period — protecting you from impulse decisions.
Session Time Limits
Choose how long each gaming session lasts. When your time is up, a notification appears and your session ends automatically. This is especially useful for late-night play when time can pass unnoticed.
Reality-Check Reminders
Opt into periodic pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing and your net result for the session. A brief pause to review the facts helps maintain a healthy relationship with gambling.
Self-Exclusion
Request a self-exclusion period of 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During self-exclusion your account is fully locked and all marketing communications are suspended. Contact support to activate this option.
Self-Assessment Quiz
Complete our free, confidential self-assessment quiz to evaluate your gambling habits objectively. The quiz takes under five minutes and provides personalised guidance on whether your play patterns warrant closer attention.
