Cricket betting with 1xBet: IPL, T20 and international competitions

Betting on cricket with 1xBet

Cricket is one of the most followed sports on the planet, with hundreds of millions of fans in India, England, Australia, Pakistan and across the Indian subcontinent. 1xBet offers a dedicated and rich range built for lovers of this sport, whether you already follow every IPL season or are just discovering the discipline.

On this page you will find everything you need to bet on cricket knowledgeably: the major competitions covered, the three formats of the game, the available markets, live betting with cash-out, as well as a step-by-step guide to placing your first bet. The offer is aimed at both the international audience and bettors in the Maghreb, with an interface entirely in English.

1xBet is an international operator active since 2007, holding an international licence. Sports betting is reserved for people aged 18 and over and should remain a leisure activity. Take the time to understand the rules of cricket and the different types of bets before you get started: a considered bet is always more satisfying than a rushed one.

Cricket competitions and leagues covered

Cricket is played in three main formats, and it is essential to tell them apart before betting, because they do not follow the same logic.

  • Test cricket: the longest and most traditional format, played over five days. It is a game of endurance and strategy where patience prevails. The most legendary series is The Ashes, which pits England against Australia.

  • ODI (One Day International): each team has 50 overs. This format is the setting for the ODI World Cup, one of the most prestigious tournaments in the sport.

  • T20 (Twenty20): the short, spectacular format, limited to 20 overs per team. It is the most explosive, ideal for live betting, and it carries the most popular leagues.

Among the flagship competitions you will find: the IPL (Indian Premier League) in India, a true global showcase for T20; the Big Bash League in Australia; the PSL (Pakistan Super League); the T20 World Cup and the ODI World Cup organised by the ICC. The great cricketing nations — India, Australia, England, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand — face off regularly in bilateral series and during international tournaments, offering a packed calendar all year round.

Follow the full cricket calendar, from the Indian Premier League and Big Bash League to the Pakistan Super League and Caribbean Premier League.

The cricket betting markets available

Cricket offers a very varied range of markets, which makes it an exciting sport to analyse. Here are the main types of bets you may come across:

  • Match winner: the simplest bet, you back the team that will win the game.

  • Series or tournament winner: ideal for a medium-term bet on the IPL, a World Cup or a Test series.

  • Top batsman / Top bowler: you pick the best batter (runs scored) or the best bowler (wickets taken) of a match or a team.

  • Total runs: a bet on whether the number of runs will be above or below a proposed threshold (over/under).

  • Toss result: who will win the coin toss before the match.

  • Best opening partnership, number of sixes or fours, wickets in an over: more specialised markets for the connoisseurs.

The odds reflect the form of the teams, the state of the pitch, the weather and the make-up of the squads. Taking the time to compare markets helps you find value rather than simply backing the obvious winner.

Test, ODI and T20 each carry their own markets — match winner, over or under runs and man of the match are among the most followed.

Live cricket and cash-out

Cricket is an ideal sport for live betting, because its rhythm leaves time to analyse the situation between each over. With 1xBet, you can follow a match in real time and place your bets while it is under way, with odds that shift as runs are scored, wickets fall and the momentum changes.

A wicket lost at the wrong moment, rain that interrupts play or a run of sixes can swing a game in just a few minutes — and the odds adjust accordingly. This is where live betting comes into its own: you react to what you see rather than to what you had predicted before the match.

The cash-out (early payout) feature allows you, when available, to close a bet before the end of the match. You can thus secure part of your winnings if your prediction is well on track, or limit a loss if the game turns against you. It is a useful management tool, to be used with discernment.

Ball-by-ball odds let you react to every delivery during Pakistan, South Africa and England contests.

Best teams and players to follow

Following in-form teams and players is an integral part of a considered bet. On the international scene, India regularly ranks among the most dominant nations, alongside Australia, England, Pakistan, South Africa and New Zealand. Each has its own playing identity: batting power, quality of bowling, or solidity in Test cricket.

In T20 leagues, the IPL brings together some of the best franchises in the world, where international stars rub shoulders with local talent. The Australian Big Bash and the Pakistani PSL also offer high-quality line-ups, with versatile players capable of changing the course of a match in a single over.

Before betting, it is useful to look at:

  • The recent form of star batsmen (batting average, consistency).

  • Bowlers capable of taking decisive wickets.

  • All-rounders who carry weight on both sides of the game.

  • The head-to-head history and adaptation to the type of pitch.

Squads often change from one match to the next: always check the announced line-ups before confirming your bet.

From the West Indies to New Zealand, the top national sides deliver gripping contests in both Test cricket and the limited-overs formats.

You can bet on cricket wherever you are thanks to the 1xBet mobile app and the mobile version of the site. The app is available for Android and iOS devices, and includes all the features available on desktop.

From your phone, you can:

The short T20 format, often played in the evening, is particularly well suited to mobile betting: you can react instantly to a turning point in a match, even far from your computer. Just make sure you have a stable internet connection to fully enjoy the live action.

Responsible gambling

Sports betting is entertainment, never a reliable way to make money nor a solution to financial difficulties. On 1xBet, betting is strictly reserved for people aged 18 and over.

To stay in control, adopt a few simple rules:

  • Set yourself a leisure budget that you can afford to lose, and never exceed it.

  • Set deposit and stake limits, and stick to them.

  • Do not try to win back your losses: chasing your losses is the main trap.

  • Take regular breaks and do not bet under the influence of emotion, fatigue or alcohol.

  • Treat every stake as the price of entertainment, not as an investment.

If gambling stops being a pleasure or starts to encroach on your personal or financial life, stop and seek help from organisations specialising in problem gambling. Betting must always remain an enjoyable and controlled moment.
