Cricket Betting

Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world from a viewership perspective, with approximately 2.5 billion fans. Of course, the only sport to surpass it is football, sitting at an incredible 3.5 billion fans. There are plenty of different cricket events that occur throughout the year, which naturally means that there are plenty of different cricket betting markets to consider.

On this page, we cover some of the most used cricket betting markets, while also looking at the top events in the sport itself!

If you love cricket, BetVictor Cricket is the place to be. We’ve got a wide range of betting options for all the major international and domestic events.

Plus, keep an eye out for our Cricket Bet Boosts, where you can find enhanced odds on selected matches. 

Here at BetVictor, we have a huge range of cricket betting options for punters to choose from, including all of the following:    

• Match Winner  - This bet allows you to wager on which team will win the match. Keep in mind that a draw is often included in this cricket betting market, too.   
• Player of the Match - If the player you pick is named as player of the match, this bet will be marked as a successful one. A variety of factors are taken into account when picking a player of the match, with the commentary panel often crowning the winner.   
• Top Batter - As the name of this cricket bet suggests, it involves picking the batsman that will score the most points. This market can be focused on a particular innings, or the match as a whole.   
• Highest Opening Partnership - This combines the scores of both batsmen, with the team scoring the highest being marked as the winner for this bet.    
• Team to Hit Most 4's and 6's - With this wager, you can pick which team will score the most 4's or 6's throughout the match.   
• Player Performance - Player performance betting markets revolve around picking over or under a predetermined number, with different actions generating points for different players. For example, players get 1 point for a run, 10 points for a catch, 20 points for a wicket, and 25 points for a stumping.   
• Win Toss and Win Match - If the team that wins the toss also leaves the field of play victorious, this bet is marked as a successful one.   
• Match Total Ducks or Team Total Ducks - A duck in cricket betting terms refers to a batsman who is dismissed without scoring a single point. You can bet on how many times this occurs throughout a game, or how many times it will happen to a specific team.   
• Team Total Run Outs - If the bails are knocked out by a member of the fielding team when a batsman is not inside of a crease, they will be 'Run Out'. This betting market revolves around predicting how many times this will happen to a chosen team during the match.   
• Batter Race to 10 Runs - Another popular cricket betting market involves picking one of two batsmen, and predicting which one will register 10 runs first. Of course, if one is dismissed before reaching 10 runs and the other batsman reaches this number, they will be marked as the successful selection.   

You can also find a huge selection of other cricket odds and betting markets within our extensive online sportsbook!  

2026 T20 World Cup Recap

The 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup was co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, with 20 teams competing across February and March 2026. India successfully defended their title by beating New Zealand by a record 96 runs in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 8 March 2026.

The win made India the first team in history to win back-to-back T20 World Cups, the first host country to ever win the title, and the first team to lift three T20 World Cup crowns (2007, 2024, 2026). Their score of 255/5 in the final was the highest total ever in a T20 World Cup final. Jasprit Bumrah was named Player of the Match for his bowling performance, while Sanju Samson claimed Player of the Tournament honours.

Looking ahead, BetVictor has comprehensive coverage of every major cricket tournament. From the next T20 World Cup outright markets to individual match betting like Top Bowler and Team Total Sixes, we've got every angle covered.

ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup

This prestigious ODI tournament has captivated fans worldwide since 1975, occurring every four years like the Olympics of cricket. Ten international cricket teams battle in a mix of round-robin and knockout stages, creating weeks of thrilling competition.  

The tournament boasts impressive viewership numbers that rival any sporting event. The 2011 Final between India and Sri Lanka drew an astounding 558 million viewers, making it the most-watched cricket match ever. 

Close behind was the India vs Pakistan Semi-Final from the same year, which attracted 495 million fans. These figures prove why the World Cup stands as cricket's premier international event.  

ICC T20 World Cup

The ICC T20 World Cup ranks as one of cricket's most thrilling events since its launch in 2007. This global cricket competition is typically held every two years and brings together the top international teams for fast-paced T20 format matches. India are the current and three-time champions, having won in 2007, 2024 and 2026.

Fans love the short game style that packs all the action into just a few hours. The tournament draws massive broadcast audiences worldwide, with rivalry matches often being full of tension.

The Indian Premier League stands as cricket's most valuable T20 league since its birth in 2008. This professional cricket tournament runs yearly between March and May, drawing close to 400 million viewers worldwide.

The IPL features ten teams battling for the top spot, with Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians holding the most titles with five each. The reigning champions are Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who broke an 18-year title drought by winning the 2025 IPL final against Punjab Kings, before successfully defending the trophy in 2026 with a five-wicket win over Gujarat Titans. RCB became only the third franchise after Chennai and Mumbai to defend the IPL crown, with Virat Kohli playing a starring role in both title triumphs.
