Cricket Formats and Tournaments

pkok T20 and ODI cricket format overview

Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — and each offers a different betting experience. T20 matches finish within a few hours, results are more unpredictable, and the game can change dramatically every over. This is why live betting is especially popular in T20.

In ODI cricket, the fifty-over contest means pitch conditions and patience come into play alongside tactics. Test cricket is a five-day contest where a draw is a valid result, making it a three-outcome market — win, loss or draw — which is quite different from the others.

Bangladeshi fans are most passionate about BPL. With packed stadiums in Dhaka and millions watching on television, betting on pkok naturally picks up during the BPL season. IPL is equally popular among Bangladeshi fans, especially when Bangladeshi players are in the lineup. During the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy, the international match markets expand further.

For all these tournaments on pkok, you can bet both before a match starts and while it is in progress. Read the terms and conditions page for detailed rules.

Football and other sports betting

Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at pkok. In football, a draw is a common outcome, so the market is usually split three ways — home win, away win and draw — and the odds structure differs from cricket. In limited-overs cricket there is generally no draw, so the market is limited to two outcomes, which keeps the odds relatively straightforward.

Popular Betting Markets

A plain explanation of how each market works

Match Winner

Pick which team will win the match. For example: Team A or Team B — place your bet on whichever you think will win.

Simplest

Toss Winner

Bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. This is a completely separate market — it has no connection to the match result.

Quick Result

Top Run Scorer

Bet on which batter in a team will score the most runs. You can base your decision on the form of the team's top-order batters.

High Odds

Total Runs Over / Under

Bet on whether a team will score more or fewer than a set number of runs — for example, whether they will score more than 150. Pitch and weather conditions matter here.

Strategic Market

Multi-Bet

Combine multiple markets or matches into one bet. You win only if all selections are correct, but the combined odds are much higher.

High Risk

First Over Runs

A quick bet on whether the runs scored in the first over of an innings will be above or below a set number. This market is especially popular in T20.

Best in Live

Innings Score Range

Bet on which range the total score of a team's innings will fall into — for example, 140–159 or 160–179. This market depends on pitch pace, dew conditions and the team's batting strength, so close observation makes the betting more interesting.

How to Read Odds

Before betting on cricket at pkok, it helps to understand odds. There are three common formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three convey the same information, just written differently.

Example 1 — Team A to win, stake ৳500

Decimal 2.25 Stake × odds = return
Fractional 5/4 ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked
American +125 ৳125 profit on a ৳100 stake
If you win ৳1,125 Return (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake)

If you lose, ৳500 is gone. This is an example only — it is not a guarantee of actual winnings.

The favourite usually has lower odds. In the example below, Team B is the favourite:

Example 2 — Team B to win (favourite), stake ৳500

Decimal 1.50 Lower odds = favourite
Fractional 1/2 ৳1 profit for every ৳2 staked
American -200 You need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100 profit
If you win ৳750 Return (৳250 profit + ৳500 original stake)

When American odds show a minus sign, that team is the favourite — and the number tells you how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.

pkok supports all three odds formats. New bettors generally find decimal format the easiest to calculate.

Live Betting — odds shift wicket by wicket

Live

Live or in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. What makes cricket special is that odds are recalculated after every wicket and every over.

Say Team A is batting and has had a good powerplay. Team A's odds to win will shorten, while Team B's will lengthen. If two quick wickets fall, the odds shift again. This constantly changing market keeps you closer to the action.

Live betting in the death overs of a T20 match is particularly intense — the last five overs can turn a game very quickly. Various markets also stay open based on the run rate after the powerplay ends.

Enjoy live betting as entertainment. If betting starts to feel like more than that, take a moment to read the responsible gaming guidelines.

Some practical tips before you start betting

  • Set a fixed budget and stick to it. Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — not a reliable way to make money.
  • Before placing a bet, consider both teams' recent form, pitch conditions and the match format.
  • Watch how odds differ. When a team is a heavy favourite, their odds are lower and the potential return is smaller.
  • Adding more selections to a multi-bet raises the odds, but the risk rises proportionally — one wrong selection can lose the whole bet.
  • In live betting, a good habit is to watch the first few overs before deciding, rather than rushing in.
  • Cricket betting is for ages 21 and over. If you ever have an issue, pkok's 24/7 support team is available to help.
