Cricket has always been a great game for those who love their statistics and that’s one of the reasons why it is popular from a betting point of view. The sport is all about numbers and now that new innovations such as the T20 format have made it more popular than ever, the cricket betting markets are always active.
Different markets may be open for test cricket, one day and the T20 games but match result betting is always available for each one. From there, the list of side markets depends on whether you are staking on one day or five day cricket.
50 Over and T20 cricket opens up markets for total sixes, total fours, which team will hit the most sixes and many more. One Day cricket can be loaded in favour of the batsmen and in recent years, more runs are being scored than ever before.
In addition, you can decide whether you think any batter from the two sides on show will score either a fifty or even a hundred in that game.
Batting options may dominate the lists but bowling markets still exist and you can bet on which player will return the best figures for his team. The growth in the sport since Twenty 20 was officially introduced in 2003 has been exponential and there are more cricket betting opportunities today than ever before.
The traditional competitions remain and the Ashes Test series between England and Australia remains the pinnacle of the sport but tournaments such as the Indian Premier League have brought the sport to a wider audience.
In turn, more cricket betting markets have become available giving the customer more choice. And, with cricket now on show across the world throughout the calendar year, a bet on a game can really enhance your enjoyment whether you’re at the ground or watching the action via TV or live streams in the comfort of your own home.
