Example Back CSK to beat MI at 1.85 odds.
🏏 Top Batsman / Bowler
Bet on which player scores the most runs or takes the most wickets, either within a team or across the match.
Example Player X to be RCB's top run-scorer.
📊 Session / Runs Betting
Bet on the total runs scored in a set number of overs (a 'session'). You back over or under the bookmaker's line.
Example Over/under 60 runs in the first 6 overs.
🎪 Fancy Betting
In-play prop bets on specific events — next over runs, a batsman's individual score, fall of the next wicket, and more.
Example Batsman to score over 30.5 runs.
🪙 Toss Betting
A simple 50/50 market on which captain wins the toss before the match begins.
Example Team A to win the toss.
