Learning how to bet on cricket<\/a> matches starts with understanding its formats. We’re talking about mechanics, tournaments and available cricket betting markets for each one, to name a few. Once you know how they work, you can pick a match and bet more confidently on a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the cricket formats?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cricket has three formats: Test match, Twenty20 (T20) International cricket and One Day International (ODI) cricket. They all follow the same rules, with two teams of eleven battling to get the most runs, and vary in gameplay length. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the three, test matches are the longest, with a match lasting 5 days. On the other hand, T20 is the shortest, with a game lasting only for 3 hours. Learn more about each format in our overview below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Test matches or test cricket is the traditional form of the game. It\u2019s the highest-level format, which requires mental and physical strength to excel. It\u2019s a five-day format of two innings each for two teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how a test match cricket works: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Team A bats first to score a run.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Team B gets to bat if Team A declares their innings or all-out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Team B should score more runs to stand a good chance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Team A gets to bat for the second time and sets a target for Team B.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Team B has to reach the target in the time left and overs to be bowled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. If Team B goes all-out during the chase in the second innings, Team A is considered the winner; otherwise, the match is a tie.

    The ODIs or One-Day Internationals is a quicker format of cricket than the Test match. This format started in 1971 but became popular in the 1980s. One of the most popular cricket leagues, the ICC Cricket World Cup, uses this format. In this type, each team has one innings of 50 overs per side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here\u2019s how the ODI matches work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Team A bats first to set a target for Team B in 50 overs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Team B must chase the target in the same number of overs. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. If Team B fails to do so, Team A is considered the winner, whether or not Team A bowls out Team B.

      Twenty20 International, or T20, is the latest format of cricket, which is also the fastest and shortest game out of the three. Because of this format, cricket became popular in countries like the Netherlands, Malaysia, Canada and the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A Twenty20 International match is normally played in three hours and features massive hitting, brilliant bowling and outstanding fielding, making it extremely popular with spectators worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here\u2019s how a T20I match works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Team A sets a target for Team B in 20 overs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Team B must reach the target in the amount of overs allotted while batting second.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. If Team B meets the aim, they are declared the winner; otherwise, Team A is declared the winner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Even if Team A prevents Team B from achieving the requisite number of runs and does not get bowled out, Team A is proclaimed the winner.
