Live Cricket Betting Odds

With international competitions and domestic leagues around the world, cricket has a reach and following that spans all corners of the globe. It has over 2 billion fans globally, making it the second most popular sport behind soccer, with events like The Ashes and The ICC World Cup drawing the largest crowds.

Here at BetVictor, you can bet on cricket live as the action unfolds on the field. We have a huge range of different in-play betting markets to choose from, with the cricket odds having the potential to change quickly throughout a match.

Before placing a bet on live cricket, it's important to understand some of the most common markets, which include:

• 2-Way Match Betting: The 2-way match betting market is the most popular when it comes to live cricket betting and involves picking which team will win the contest. As this is a 2-way market, it means that should the match end in a draw, the bet will be marked as 'Void' and the stake will be returned to your balance.
• Top Batter: This betting market allows you to bet on which batter will score the most runs during specific innings throughout the match.
• Over or Under: With the over or under live cricket betting market, you can pick whether you think a batter will score more or fewer runs than the predetermined number, such as under 20.5. Using this example, if you bet on over, the batter would need to score at least 21 runs in order for the wager to be a successful one.
• Method of Dismissal: You use this market to bet on how the next dismissal will occur. There are a range of different options to take into consideration, including a fielder catch, being bowled out, a keeper catch, LBW, run out, and stumped, alongside the 'other' selection that covers all other possibilities.

Of course, there are plenty of other markets too, including race to 10 runs, the number of fours scored during the first innings, and runs off a specified delivery. All of these live cricket betting options and many others can be found right here at BetVictor!

While there is a huge selection of live cricket betting events for players and spectators to choose from, there are a few that stand out from the crowd due to their prestige and the sheer amount of entertainment that they offer:

The ICC Cricket World Cup

The International Cricket Council organizes the premier international championship for One Day International cricket, making it the most prestigious tournament in the sport. This elite competition brings together the world's best cricket teams every 4 years to compete for the ultimate prize in ODI cricket.

The most recent edition took place in 2023, where 10 teams participated across 48 matches, with Australia, who were the ICC Cricket World Cup betting favourites at the start of the event, beating India convincingly by 6 wickets to lift the trophy.

The T20 World Cup

Cricket's most exciting short-format tournament brings together national teams from across the globe in a competition that lasts just three weeks. This biennial event, organized by the ICC, features the fast-paced T20 format where each team faces only 20 overs per innings, creating intense matches filled with big hits and dramatic finishes.

South Africa hosted the very first edition back in 2007, setting the stage for what would become one of cricket's premier international championships.

Both men's and women's teams compete in their respective ICC World Twenty20 tournaments, showcasing the best talent from every cricket-playing nation. Teams battle through group stages and knockout rounds, with matches often decided in the final over or even through super overs.

Each game delivers non-stop action as players aim to score quickly while bowlers try creative strategies to limit runs in this condensed format. This makes live T20 World Cup betting particularly interesting, as odds tend to move more than longer matches, such as those in the ICC Cricket World Cup.

The Indian Premier League (IPL)

When it comes to domestic competition, India's premier tournament stands as the most popular cricket championship globally. The Indian Premier League operates as a Twenty20 format tournament that takes place annually during April and May in a franchise-based system.

This domestic T20 tournament was first launched in 2008 with eight teams and has since expanded to ten teams as of 2021. The league attracts millions of fans who follow their favourite franchises throughout the season, creating an atmosphere that combines top-level sportsmanship with entertainment. Of course, IPL betting is also prominent, with a total of 74 matches for spectators and punters to enjoy each season.

The Ashes

The Ashes Series stands as one of cricket's most legendary competitions, featuring Test matches between England and Australia in a sports rivalry that dates back to 1882. This series consists of 5 matches, with the team winning the majority claiming the infamous Urn trophy.

Each series brings intense competition as players represent their countries in this time-honoured tradition that has captivated audiences for over 140 years. The format creates dramatic storylines, with momentum shifting and The Ashes odds changing between matches.
