sona 11 Cricket Betting — Bet on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is passion. sona 11 gives you a different way to enjoy that passion, with markets ranging from Match Winner, Toss and Top Batsman to live in-play.
The Three Formats of Cricket and Bangladesh's Favourite Tournaments
International cricket has three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace, its own tactics, and its own characteristics from a betting perspective.
T20 is the fastest format. In a 20-over match, the picture can change at any moment. Live betting is most popular in this format, as odds shift with every ball. In Bangladesh, BPL and the international T20 World Cup are the biggest events in this format.
ODI is one-day cricket, played over 50 overs. For bettors, the run rate in the middle overs and the wicket count are points of particular focus. The ICC World Cup and tri-series are the major draws of the ODI format.
Test is the most traditional form of cricket. In this five-day match, both a match winner and a draw are possible results, so the odds are structured differently. While iconic leagues like IPL are held in T20 format, the Tigers' Test series matches bring equal excitement.
Football is also available on sona 11 — from local Dhaka pitches to international club football, with Match Winner and goal-related markets. However, in football a draw is a common result, so the odds are split across three outcomes (home win, draw, away win) — a different calculation from T20 cricket. The same logic applies to other sports: the more possible outcomes, the more spread out the odds become.
Popular Markets in Cricket Betting
On sona 11, you can bet on several different markets in a cricket match. Below is a brief introduction to seven markets, each with a simple example.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win the match.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss at the start of the match — essentially a 50/50 market.
Top Batsman
Which batsman (usually within a team) will score the most runs.
Total Runs (Over/Under)
Whether the total runs in a match or an innings will be above or below a set number.
Top Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets — analyse the attacking bowling lineup before placing your bet.
Handicap
One team is given a notional run advantage to level the competition.
Multi-Bet (multiple bets combined)
A multi-bet lets you combine multiple matches or markets into one bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the potential win is much higher. However, if any one selection loses, the entire bet is lost — making this a high-risk option.
How to Read and Understand Odds
Odds on international betting sites are shown in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Example (Team A) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳2.25 returned for a ৳1 bet (profit + original stake) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 (side by side): Team A to win — decimal 2.25 = fractional 5/4 = American +125. A ৳200 bet returns ৳450 if it wins (৳250 profit + original ৳200 stake). If it loses, the full ৳200 is lost.
Example 2 (favourite): If Team B is the favourite, their odds might be decimal 1.80 = fractional 4/5 = American -125. A minus sign in American odds means you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 if it wins (৳160 profit).
The higher the odds, the less likely the site considers a win to be — but this is not a guaranteed outcome, just an assessment. Betting should always be viewed as entertainment.
Live In-Play — Bet During the Match
In-play betting lets you place bets after a match has started. Odds update instantly with every wicket, every six, or when the powerplay ends.
For example, if Team A scores 80 runs in 10 overs but loses 3 wickets, their odds of winning may shorten — because the pressure on the remaining wickets increases. Similarly, if Team B loses several wickets for very few runs, Team A's odds rise again.
Live betting in a T20 match is especially fast-moving — even a single six in the death overs (16–20) can shift the betting picture. To bet in-play, you need to stay focused and make quick decisions.

Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
- Try to understand the pitch conditions. Spin-friendly pitches generally produce fewer runs; pace-friendly pitches can see wickets fall quickly. This is useful for the Over/Under total runs market.
- Weather affects matches. If rain is likely, overs may be reduced — this has a direct effect on run rates and results.
- Build experience in one market. Rather than betting on all markets at once, it is better to start with simpler markets like Match Winner or Total Runs.
- Set a budget and stick to it. Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable spending for entertainment. Whether you win or lose, do not go beyond that limit.
- Be careful with multi-bets. Combining many selections reduces your chance of winning. It can be tried occasionally for fun, but not as a regular strategy.
- Play responsibly. Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. If needed, read the responsible gaming guidelines.

Log in to sona 11Football and Other Sports — Wider Markets Beyond Cricket
Besides cricket, sona 11 also offers football and other sports. Football markets include Match Winner as well as Home/Draw/Away (1X2), Total Goals and First Goalscorer.
The main difference between cricket and football betting is the number of outcomes. T20 cricket has two outcomes (win or loss), while football has three (home win, draw, away win). This means odds in football are divided somewhat differently.
In Bangladesh, alongside cricket, football also has a significant following — particularly in cities like Chattogram, where European club football has many fans. Both sports are available on sona 11.
Betting is also available on the sona 11 App — both Android and iOS versions are available, obtainable through official channels.
