Cricket betting: how to analyse teams and players

Cricket can be called the fastest growing sport of our time: right now, we are witnessing the emergence of new national leagues that are immediately gaining a multi-million audience (a recent example is the Indian Women's Premier League). At the moment, cricket can still be considered a regional sport, only really popular in certain countries, but this may change in the near future. 22Bet allows visitors to bet on over a hundred scheduled matches.

Features of cricket betting

Cricket can definitely be called a game for the patient, because even a short match in this sport lasts at least three hours. At the same time, the discipline also involves several format options, and 3-4 hours is the duration of T20 matches, while ODI easily stretches to 7-8 hours (it is worth spending a whole day watching), and test matches last up to 5 days. The longer the match, the more carefully the player should approach predicting what will happen, because in multi-day matches, a long bench of substitutes and the ability to conserve energy are important. In cricket, it is extremely valuable to correctly assess the composition of the team, objectively understanding who can lead the team and whether the team leaders are in good enough shape at the moment. The weather can also be a factor in success or failure: strong winds can seriously interfere with impressive serves.

Popular types of bets

Cricket fans have a set of favourite bets that most players resort to; if you cannot yet call yourself an experienced bettor, it is worth starting with them. On the 22Bet portal you can place bets such as:

  • on the winner of a match or the entire tournament - an eternal classic in the form of determining the favourite of the confrontation and a longer-term version of such a prediction;
  • statistics - totals of runs and number of wickets can be predicted even without specifying the winner of the match, which is a good choice when it is impossible to determine a clear favourite or when the odds on their victory are too modest;
  • individual statistics - the ability to predict the effectiveness of a specific player in a single match by naming their number of runs or predicting a hat-trick.

Tips for successful betting

As in other team sports, team strength in cricket is fairly stable, but at the same time, the role of the individual can be significant, so always pay attention to the form of the leaders, how many there are in the team, and whether an absent star can be replaced by another worthy player. Remember that in cricket, the weather is far from the last element of success, because the factor of a good serve can be completely negated by strong winds and precipitation.

22Bet recommends playing responsibly: don’t risk all your money at once, always leave yourself a chance to win back with the next bet. Also, don’t always bet only on the favourite or only on “your own”: analyse the statistics, and luck will surely smile on you.
