A market is anything you can bet on within a match. Here are the ones you'll use most.
Match markets
Match Winner — the classic. Which team wins the game.
Toss Winner — who wins the coin flip. Settled at the toss, before a ball is bowled.
Win the Toss & Match — both in one bet, at bigger odds.
Player markets
Top Batsman / Top Bowler — who scores the most runs or takes the most wickets for a team.
Player Runs Over/Under — will a batsman pass a set line, e.g. Kohli over/under 30.5 runs.
Man of the Match — the official award winner.
Innings & session markets
Total Runs Over/Under — will an innings pass a runs line.
Powerplay Runs — runs in the first 6 overs (T20), a fan favourite.
Session / Fancy markets — runs in a defined stretch of overs. Popular in live betting.
Total Sixes / Fours — how many big hits in the match.
Delivery-level markets (live)
Next Wicket Method — how the next batsman gets out (caught, bowled, LBW...).
Runs off the Next Over — micro-markets that settle within minutes.
Format matters
Markets differ across T20, ODI, and Test cricket — a Test match adds draw as a result, and lines like total runs are set very differently. Check the format before you bet a familiar-looking market.
