ICC T20 World Cup betting: odds, markets and what comes next

India won the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, co-hosted with Sri Lanka, beating New Zealand by 96 runs in the final on 8 March. Twenty teams played 55 matches. Bangladesh did not take part: the board declined to play in India and Scotland took the place.

The next edition is in Australia and New Zealand in 2028, and Bangladesh have qualified. Our example match, Bangladesh v Afghanistan, shows how the margin differs between sportsbooks.

Match winner and total runs, the two-way markets. In our example NAGAD88 has the lowest match-winner margin (4.8%). Outright winner markets have many outcomes and cost more.

Markets

Cricket markets, cheapest first

Example odds for Bangladesh v Afghanistan.

Match winner

Who wins, Bangladesh or Afghanistan. Limited-overs cricket has no draw in this market, so there are two outcomes.

Outcome Odds Probability
Bangladesh 2.60 38.5%
Afghanistan 1.50 66.7%
Sum 105.1%
Margin 4.9%

So what: two outcomes keep the margin low.

Total runs: over/under 155.5

Runs in the first innings, above or below the line the sportsbook sets.

Outcome Odds Probability
Over 155.5 1.90 52.6%
Under 155.5 1.90 52.6%
Sum 105.3%
Margin 5.0%

So what: you do not need to pick a winner, only a run total.

Top batter (Bangladesh)

Most runs in Bangladesh's innings. Many outcomes, so each price carries more margin.

Outcome Odds Probability
Litton Das 3.60 27.8%
Tanzid Hasan 4.20 23.8%
Towhid Hridoy 4.50 22.2%
Any other batter 2.90 34.5%
Sum 108.3%
Margin 7.7%

Method of first dismissal

How the first wicket falls.

Outcome Odds Probability
Caught 1.50 66.7%
Bowled 4.80 20.8%
LBW 6.00 16.7%
Run out 11.00 9.1%
Other 21.00 4.8%
Sum 118.0%
Margin 15.3%

So what: the dearest market here: five outcomes.

Example odds, not live prices.

Margin by market

Same match, different price per market

The market you pick changes the price as much as the sportsbook does.

Market Example odds Sum of probabilities Margin Cost per ৳1,000 What it means

Strategy

How to keep the cost of cricket betting down

  1. Compare the price before every bet

    In the example the expected cost differs by ৳7 per ৳1,000 staked between the dearest and the cheapest sportsbook.

  2. Pick two-way markets

    Match winner and total runs over/under have two outcomes, so the margin is spread thin. Top batter and method of dismissal cost more.

  3. Keep accumulators short

    At a 5% margin per leg, a five-leg accumulator carries a margin of 22.6%.

  4. Set a limit before the first ball

    Decide how much you can afford to lose, set a deposit limit where the sportsbook offers one and stop when you reach it.

Frequently asked questions

Who won the 2026 T20 World Cup?

India, who beat New Zealand by 96 runs in the final on 8 March 2026. They became the first team to win the title twice in a row.

Did Bangladesh play in the 2026 T20 World Cup?

No. The Bangladesh Cricket Board declined to play in India, and Scotland took Bangladesh's place.

When and where is the next T20 World Cup?

In 2028, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. Bangladesh are among the teams that have qualified.

Is it cheaper to bet on a match or on the outright winner?

A match winner has two outcomes, so the margin is usually lower. An outright market spreads the margin over many teams, and your money is tied up until the final.

Are the odds on this page live?

No. They are example odds that show how the comparison works. Check the current price at the sportsbook before you place a bet.

Is online betting legal in Bangladesh?

No. The Gambling Prevention Act 2026, passed by Parliament in 2026, replaces the Public Gambling Act 1867. Online or remote gambling carries up to five years in prison or a fine of up to Tk 1 crore, and online betting up to seven years or Tk 5 crore. Section 20 of the Cyber Security Ordinance 2025 also makes gambling in cyberspace, including promoting it, punishable by up to two years or Tk 1 crore. The sportsbooks in our ranking hold foreign licences, such as Curaçao, and a foreign licence does not make betting legal in Bangladesh. Source: UNB.

Where can I get help if betting stops being fun?

Set a deposit limit or use self-exclusion where the sportsbook offers it, and read our responsible gambling and gambling addiction pages. If betting is hurting your money, work or family, talk to someone you trust and seek local support.
