Betway app – Best for live betting

The betway app has an in-depth cricket section and there are frequently offers specifically aimed at cricket fans that provide excellent value, in our opinion. There’s a dedicated ‘Live Now’ section giving you all the games that are taking place at that moment in time, as well as a section for all popular upcoming cricket events. Test matches, T20, One-day internationals etc. are all covered and are available to bet on.

There’s a huge array of markets to choose from, drilling right the way down to individual overs, so no matter what stage a particular match is in, there are still plenty of markets to browse and possibly select.

Paddy Power app – Best for cricket offers

Next on our list comes the Paddy Power Sports app, which offers a multitude of different betting options across a huge number of matches and tournaments. Paddy Power is further down our list due to the lack of focus on cricket, outside of the offers. To get to cricket from the home page you need to tap on find in the bottom menu and then A to Z and then cricket. We prefer the apps where there is a sliding sports menu on the home page.

Reasons to use Paddy Power for cricket betting

1. Excellent offers for major events like the Ashes and the IPL
2. Good platform and it’s easy to use the app in general
3. Price up your own bets via Twitter using #WhatOddsPaddy including cricket bets (It’s advisable to do this at least 3 hours before the event you want to bet on)
4. You can cash out on selected cricket markets- these have a green “cash-out” notice by them, as shown on the screenshot below

Here is how the cricket home looks

Where Paddy Power excels is the range of offers they have, outside of the standard new customer offer. During major tournaments and tours, they often have specific offers available. We have seen offers such as money back if it goes down to the last ball. To find the latest offers head to cricket on the app and then the specials tab on the sliding menu that starts with “popular”. Here you will see any cricket offers that are currently live. 

Where it could be improved 

• Show the number of markets for each event in the popular tab
• Make cricket easily accessible from the home page
• Make the cricket match pages more visual with more pre-match information 

Where can you find Paddy Power

Desktop site: Yes

iPhone app: iTunes

Android app: Google Play

Betfair app – Best for cricket odds

The Betfair app jumps ahead of many others we have reviewed for a number of reasons. Firstly, there are a vast variety of markets to bet on. Secondly, the app provides odds on;

• Test matches
• International Twenty20 matches
• The Ashes,
• The ICC Cricket World cup

Plus many, many more cricket competitions.

The only downfall to the Betfair app is that there are a lot of areas where this app is unavailable. If you can access the app we would recommend it.

New customers are also well rewarded with Betfair, There is always an offer available to entice you in.

Cricket betting markets

When you first think of cricket betting you may just think of betting on the team to win the match, but there are far more betting markets than that on offer. For the major tournaments like the IPL or the test series, there’s a wide range of markets on offer. Why not mix your betting up and find the one that suits you?

Here’s our guide to Cricket betting!

Match result/ winner – The standard market of who will win the match or if it will be a draw. These can be combined as in multiple bets or accumulators.

1st wicket method betting – How will the first batsman fall? Select from

• Caught
• Bowled
• LBW
• Run Out
• Stumped
• Others (this is usually 100/1 plus and would need to be a very strange event like the player knocking the ball away from the stumps with their hand).

A fifty scored in the match? This is one more for the 20/20 games and is a yes/ no betting event. To win you need 1 player from either team to get a 50. As soon as that happens your bet should settle and your winning be paid out.

A hundred scored in the match – As above for any player to get a century.

Over-under betting markets – We’ve covered all the markets in here as there’s a few of them. In simple terms, the bookmaker sets a number of runs and you bet if the team will go over or under that amount.

Over/ under cricket betting markets available

• Total Match Runs
• Individual Teams
• 1st/ 2nd innings
• Highest individual score

Top bowler for each team – Who will be the top-performing bowler on the team? The odds will be shorter for the most likely bowlers.

Most runouts – Which team will have the most run-outs in a match or will it be a tie.

Highest team first 6 overs (T20) – Who will get the most runs at the end of the first 6 overs.

Highest opening partnership – Who will score the most runs before the first wicket falls. This is on a team basis rather than an individual and there is an option for a tie.

Man of the match – Who will win the Man of the Match prize, mainly open for T20 betting and other major events and tournaments.
