Cricket Betting

If you know your short leg from your silly mid-on, the chances are that cricket betting might just be for you. Like a snarling Australian fast bowler with an English batsman in his sights, cricket betting delivers high octane action and plenty of opportunities for success.

With stacks of different markets to have a flutter on and thousands of matches every season, you can experience cricket betting unlike any other at Paddy Power. From The Ashes and The Hundred to the IPL and the ICC World Cup, there’s barely a month goes by where you can’t bet on cricket, and at Paddy Power, we cover the full range of competitions around the world.

You can bet on who you think is going to win the game, of course, but also have your say on markets like top team run scorer/wicket taker, highest partnership, team to score the most sixes and much more besides.

Cricket Odds

Cricket is a numbers game, from the numbers of runs scored and wickets taken to how many cream scones you can eat watching a game. For punters, the only numbers that truly matter are the cricket odds – particularly whether there’s any value to be found.

At Paddy Power, we offer the latest cricket odds for games held all over the globe, from Test matches to ODIs and T20s. You can take on our trading team by finding those cricket betting odds that you believe to be a value play. You can bet before a ball has been bowled or part-way through a game, taking advantage of the changing conditions and those major match-defining moments.

Runs, wickets, sixes, no balls… if it takes place out in the middle, you can find the latest cricket odds from Paddy Power to match.

IPL Betting

Whether you are a Mumbai Indians fan or a Delhi Capitals disciple, Paddy Power is home to all of your IPL cricket betting needs. We offer a big-hitting range of IPL odds for both the outright and match markets, so if you have a gut feeling about a particular team or player you can easily get involved.

Who will win the IPL? That’s the question on the lips of Indian cricket fans each year the greatest show in cricket comes around, and our IPL betting odds reveal who we believe will triumph. You may disagree, of course, and can have your say in the outright tournament winner category, or you might take a deep dive into each game – spotting the batsmen and bowlers who you believe are set to thrive.

Ashes Betting & Odds

Held roughly every two years, the Ashes are typically dictated by whoever is the home team – the host has avoided a series defeat in nine of the last ten editions.

So that’s a handy starting point in your Ashes betting, although the unique conditions of each test match in the series will determine who prevails and who doesn’t. As you would expect, Paddy Power leaves no stone unturned in their Ashes odds, and you can wager on both the series winner market and each game within the thrilling battle for the urn.
Our Ashes betting odds are generously priced and up to the minute, and you can place your bets before the series or an individual test gets underway, or right in the heat of the in-play battle if you prefer.

ICC Betting

If powerplays, coloured kits and big sixes are your bag, then you will know already that T20 cricket is the most explosive format of the sport you could wish to see.The pinnacle of the shorter game is the ICC T20 World Cup, which pits the very best in the business against one another.

First held in 2007, there have been five different winners of the T20 World Cup in the six editions to follow, and that unpredictability makes the ICC cricket betting so alluring. The West Indies are the only team to win the World Cup twice, and their huge hitting and rapid-fire bowling is perfect for the shorter format – they are a key figure in the ICC betting odds.

But it’s England that is ranked as the best T20 team on the planet, and they too will be well backed in the ICC odds.
