Inside the Cricbuzz betting app

Who the app is for

Cricbuzz Bet assumes you already follow cricket. Terms like Duckworth-Lewis target, powerplay overs, net run rate or strike rotation appear without footnotes. That is the strength — and the limitation. A casual sports bettor who jumps between football and tennis may find it niche. An IPL regular who can name India's current middle order will find the depth native.

Format coverage is heavy on cricket: Tests, ODIs, T20Is, the IPL and other domestic T20 leagues. A handful of non-cricket markets exist but the depth thins out quickly outside cricket.

Cricket markets you will see

The breadth of markets is one of the strongest points of the app. The categories below cover most of what an everyday user interacts with.

• Match winner

  The simplest market — pick the side that wins. Available across all formats and most fixtures.

• Top batsman

  Bet on the player who finishes an innings with the highest score for either side.

• Total runs over/under

  Predict whether a team beats a set run total at a defined point — innings break, end of powerplay, full innings.

• Wickets in an over

  A fast in-play market — how many wickets fall in a specific over. Closes quickly between deliveries.

• Method of next dismissal

  Caught, bowled, LBW, run out, stumped. Common in T20 in-play sessions.

• Series & tournament winner

  Long-range outright markets on bilateral series, IPL champion, ICC events.

In-play markets — particularly anything keyed to a specific ball or over — open and close in seconds. Plan your stake before the over starts, not while it is unfolding.

How the interface is organised

1. 1

   Match-card home screen

   Live and upcoming fixtures appear as cards. Tap to open the full market list. The card layout deliberately echoes a cricket scorecard so the eye lands on the match state, not on the bookmaker chrome.

2. 2

   In-play section

   A dedicated live filter shows only matches in progress. Ball, partnership and required run rate sit alongside betting lines. Some over- and ball-specific markets refresh in seconds.

3. 3

   Bet slip

   Persistent bottom-bar bet slip across the app. Stack legs into an accumulator or settle each separately. Stake adjustments are kept on a single screen.

4. 4

   Stats panel

   Each match page bundles recent form, head-to-head and pitch context. Useful before placing a bet, especially on lower-profile domestic fixtures.
