The cricket season, month by month
Cricket runs all year in Bangladesh, but the big windows are few: domestic T20 in winter, the Indian league in spring, and international series in between. Knowing the windows tells you in advance when the line will be at its deepest.
Which month brings which tournament
Windows by month rather than by date.
| Window | What is on | Depth of the book |
|---|---|---|
| December – February | BPL and domestic T20 | The biggest window for a home audience |
| March – May | The IPL | The deepest line of the season |
| June – August | International series | Varies with the touring calendar |
| September – November | Asian tournaments and tours | ODI and T20 together |
Test, ODI and T20
The three formats price differently, and that changes what you pick.
Test
Five days and three outcomes — win, loss and draw. That third possibility is what sets Test markets apart.
ODI
Fifty overs, two outcomes. Total-runs markets are at their steadiest here, because the match is long.
T20
Twenty overs and a quick result. The picture changes every over, which is why in-play is liveliest in this format.
Questions about the cricket calendar
Do the BPL and the IPL overlap
No, the windows are separate: domestic T20 sits in winter and the Indian league in spring. The two seasons follow one another rather than clash.
Do outright markets stay open mid-season
Yes, from the first day to the last — as teams drop out the prices move with them.
Why are Test markets different
Because there are three outcomes — win, loss and draw. The possibility of a draw changes the whole sum.
