What Cricket Competitions Can You Bet On?
The variations of the game, from short ball competitions such as T20s and ODIs to longer red ball cricket being played at both domestic and international levels mean there are a huge variety of matches, tournaments and leagues. Below outlines some of the most popular cricket competitions to bet on.
IPL Betting
Since its founding in 2007, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has become the biggest domestic T20 competition in the world. Powered by international cricket stars, packed-out stadiums, and nail-biting finishes, it has become the most commercially successful cricket tournament. The 2023 edition will see ten teams battle it out with the title, with Gujurat Titans looking to defend the title earnt on debut whilst the Mumbai Indians look to add to their record 5 titles.
Ashes & Test Match Betting
1877 saw the first international test match between England and Australia with the creation of The Ashes five years later after England captain Ivo Bligh pledged to "reclaim those ashes" after a defeat to Australia a year previous claimed the death of English cricket. Whilst The Ashes tends to be played biennially, the rest of the summer is packed out with Tests against first-class opposition such as India, South Africa, New Zealand and the West Indies.
County Championship
The County Championship is the domestic first-class cricket competition organised by the ECB. Returning to a two-division, each county plays 14 matches, with each match played over four days with two innings per side. The county with the most points at the end of the season wins, with 16 points available for a victory, and 8 for a draw. Additional First Innings Points are also available for runs scored and wickets taken.
Cricket World Cup
The Cricket World Cup is an international tournament of One-Day Internationals (50-over matches). The event is hosted every four years with the first edition in 1975 and the Women's Cricket World Cup held two years before the inaugural men's tournament. Australia are the most successful team in both the men's and women's competition. England's women have been victorious on 3 occasions whilst England's men won their maiden World Cup in 2019.
How to Bet On Cricket
The vast number of outcomes in a cricket match from the toss of a coin to the number of boundaries means there are also a vast number of ways to bet on cricket. The most popular cricket markets are on the result and over/under run markets. See also our in-play options for live cricket betting.
Match Result
In cricket, the most common type of bet is betting on the match result. This can either be a three-way bet (1X2), usually in the longer forms of the game where draws are a more common possibility or two-way bets, in T20s or ODI's, where a winner will always be determined even by the barest of margins such as boundary count after a super over.
Betting On Runs
Betting on runs is a very popular cricket betting market. As the number of runs scored in a cricket match vary considerably, there are plenty of opportunities for over/under betting. England, for example, are well-known for batting heroics one week and collapses the next. Add to these external variables such as pitch condition and weather, it makes for a dynamic and exciting market.
Miscellaneous Cricket Markets
Due to the variety and intricacies of the game, there is a huge variety of betting markets available for cricket. With LiveScore you can take your pick of everything from who you think will win the toss, have the most run outs, most sixes to the method of the first wicket. In short then, the beauty of cricket is not only in the style and tactics of the game, but also in the variety of ways you can bet.
Outrights and Specials
An outright bet is a bet on who you think will win an entire league, tournament, or competition. Take your pick of who you think will be crowned Big Bash, IPL, Ashes, County or Caribbean Premier League champions amongst many others right here with LiveScore Bet.
