Cricket is structurally unusual in the sports betting context because a single fixture can span anywhere from three hours (T20) to five days (Test match), and the betting framework changes substantially between formats. A Test match between India and Australia at the Gabba produces entirely different betting logic than a T20 Blast group stage game at Edgbaston. The volume and variety of cricket available globally means there is rarely a period from February through November when major cricket is not running. The IPL alone produces more than 70 fixtures within seven weeks, which is a fixture density comparable to a full domestic football league. At 1xBit, cricket coverage spans Test cricket, ODI, and T20 formats across all major international and domestic competitions.
Coverage
Test cricket coverage includes all bilateral series between the ten Test-playing nations, with the India–England, The Ashes (England–Australia), and Border-Gavaskar Trophy (India–Australia) series receiving the deepest market selection. ICC tournament coverage includes the ODI World Cup, ICC T20 World Cup, ICC World Test Championship, and ICC Champions Trophy. All fixtures from the group stage through the final are listed.
Domestic T20 competition coverage includes the Indian Premier League, The Hundred (England and Wales), the Big Bash League (Australia), Pakistan Super League, SA20 (South Africa), and the Caribbean Premier League. County Championship and Sheffield Shield are listed for match winner and series markets. Women's cricket has dedicated coverage across the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, Women's ODI World Cup, and the Women's Big Bash League.
Betting Markets
Pre-Match Options
Match winner is the foundational market in all formats. Series winner markets open before bilateral Test and ODI series begin and run until the series concludes. Top batsman and top bowler markets ask which player in a named team will accumulate the most runs or take the most wickets across an innings or match. These player performance props require both batting and bowling lineup knowledge and are available on all IPL and ICC tournament fixtures.
Total runs over/under is set per innings or per match depending on format — T20 totals are typically set around 155–165 runs per innings, while ODI match totals vary significantly by pitch and conditions. Method of dismissal (caught, bowled, LBW, run out, stumped) is available on selected fixtures. Six and four markets — whether a specific player hits a six in their innings — are popular on IPL fixtures. First wicket partnership total adds a batting partnership dimension to the prop market.
| Market | Format |
|---|---|
| Match Winner | Outright result including tie option |
| Series Winner | Win before the series begins |
| Top Batsman / Top Bowler | Player performance leader |
| Total Runs | Over/under combined or per innings |
| Method of Dismissal | How the next wicket falls |
| Six / Four Markets | Player boundary props |
Live Betting
Ball-by-ball live betting is the defining feature of cricket in-play coverage. Every legal delivery produces a potential market update: next ball runs (dot ball, 1, 2, 4, 6, wicket), over totals (runs in the current over), and next wicket method are all live markets on IPL and ICC tournament fixtures. The rate of scoring — current run rate versus required run rate in a chase — drives live totals pricing dynamically.
Over totals isolate the next six deliveries, removing the match-level noise and focusing on the current bowling matchup. A spinner bowling to a set aggressive batsman in an IPL PowerPlay produces very different over-total pricing than a seamer bowling a maiden to a defensive lower-order bat in a Test match. Cash-out is available on pre-match positions on major fixtures.
Crypto Payments
The IPL runs from late March through late May, producing two fixtures per day across 10 teams in the league stage. Daily betting activity during IPL season is structured around afternoon and evening fixtures in Indian Standard Time, which means bettors across Europe and Asia need to reload quickly between early afternoon and prime-time evening games. Crypto deposits at 1xBit process within one blockchain confirmation — fast enough to reload between the afternoon and evening fixture on a two-game IPL day. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT are accepted. No KYC documentation is required for standard withdrawal limits.
