Cricket World Cup Betting Offers

The ICC Cricket Women's World Cup 2025 is played over six weeks and features 45 group matches, before 2 semi-final matches and a final.

Despite Cricket arguably being a more niche option when it comes to sports betting, recent international tournaments such as the T20 and One-Day World Cup have really seen a rise in popularity, with bookmakers starting to accommodate more and more market options for players to bet upon.

Betting on the World Cup can be split into three categories:

Pre-Event Betting
Match Betting
In-play Betting

Betting pre-event on the Cricket World Cup can be split into three sections. Outright, Group Stage and Player betting.

Outright

Outright betting on the Cricket Women's World Cup 2025 is very straightforward, with players betting on the overall outcome of the tournament, with the option to bet as a single or each-way bet. A single simply requires the team to win the event, while an each-way option, offers the chance of a smaller payout if the side finishes in the first three places.

Group Stage

The Cricket World Cup plays a round-robin section, with all ten-sided playing each other once. This stage offers the chance to bet on the outcome of the group, with markets on Winning the Group, Qualifying For The Next Stage and Not Qualifying all available. 

Player Betting

Pre-event player markets are limited to three markets. Player Of The Tournament, Top Run Scorer and Top Wicket Taker. These are all self-explanatory and offer more scope for betting options and subsequently better odds too. The most obvious advice here is to back a player whose team is going to go deep in the tournament, to maximise your chances.

Match betting on the Cricket World Cup encompasses the most markets available to players. Simple options such as Match Winner, Man Of The Match, Top Run Scorer and Top Wicket Taker can be bet upon, but bookies tend to really go to town on their "request a bet" features and pre-made bet builder selections.

These bets give bookmakers to opportunity to offer multiple markets. So players can bet on the amount of runs scored in the first over, the way the first wicket fell, or a multiple bet, such as XX player scoring 100+ runs, both sides scoring over 300+ runs and XX team winning.  

The only limit here is arguably the odds creators own imaginations and the bonus of these bet types is that the odds tend to be a little more generous.

In-play betting on cricket is a little limited overall, with very few markets available to players.

The majority of these are variations on match betting, with match result, top batsman and top wicket-taker among the markets available, along with how many 4's and 6's will be struck.

Generally, odds for in-play will be shorter, but it is a great way to take advantage of a bowling attack playing well or indeed if a team is piling on the runs.
