Domestic Cricket Competition

In the UK 18 first-class counties field their own cricket clubs and compete for the County Championship from April to September each year. Division 1 and Division 2 sees promotion and relegation matches at the end of every season. Special University matches are also played at the very beginning of a season. In addition to regular league play, several Cups and Tournaments fill out the yearly cricket calendar:

The Rachel Heyhoe Flint Trophy is named after the former England captain who died in 2017. The first edition took place in 2020, with 8 "all-star" teams participating.
The Royal London One-Day Cup is a competition for first-class counties. It features knock-out groups and single-leg finals.
The Charlotte Edwards Cup features 8 teams representing regional hubs, similar to the Rachel Heyhoe Flint Trophy.
The T20 Blast, currently called the Vitality Blast, is a tournament featuring all 18 first-class counties. It is played in group stages and a knockout stage.
The Hundred is a special franchise with eight men's and eight women's teams and the initial expectation that no match would last longer than three hours. It was designed with a simpler ruleset in place to attract more fans to the game.

IPL Odds and everything else about Cricket Betting

Whilst the origins of the sport are a mere presumption, people do believe the sport was first developed as an informal game in the forests of England. Due to the UK playing such a big role in the creation of the sport, it is only natural for us to also do our utmost in offering all our users only the very finest odds for cricket betting. The more options, the better!

Founded in 2008, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most popular domestic leagues across the globe, and with good reason. As one of the first leagues in cricket to adopt what became the global standard T20 format, it draws record-breaking crowds and stratospheric TV audiences every year across its March-to-May window — and it has an exclusive slot in the ICC Future Tours Programme to protect it. By the numbers, the IPL now regularly ranks among the top handful of sports leagues in the world for average attendance, and by broadcast value it sits alongside the NFL and Premier League in the global top tier of sporting rights. Ten franchises compete for glory, and the storylines around them draw fans in as much as the cricket itself — a mix of Bollywood ownership, generational Indian stars, and the world's best overseas talent all playing under lights across India's biggest stadiums.

The 2026 season delivered one of the great IPL narratives. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, captained by Rajat Patidar, won back-to-back titles — beating Gujarat Titans in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad — becoming only the third franchise ever, after Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, to defend the trophy. Virat Kohli's unbeaten 75 off 42 balls in the final sealed the win and added another chapter to his already legendary career. But the season belonged as much to a 15-year-old: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi of the Rajasthan Royals plundered 776 runs at a strike rate of 237, breaking Chris Gayle's 14-year record for most sixes in an IPL season (72 vs Gayle's 59) and sweeping the Orange Cap, MVP, Emerging Player, and Super Sixes awards. Kagiso Rabada took the Purple Cap for Gujarat Titans with 29 wickets. Alongside Kohli and Sooryavanshi, current stars like Jasprit Bumrah, Ben Stokes, Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill and Travis Head keep the standard as high as it has ever been.

T20 cricket betting is an all-out, action-and-strategy-packed format that condenses what a Test match delivers over five days into under three hours. The speed and intensity make it feel like a different sport at times — but the betting logic is the same. We provide our customers with the very best pre-match and live T20 cricket betting markets and odds for every encounter across the IPL, the Big Bash, the Vitality Blast, the Hundred, and every other domestic T20 league that matters.

Team-wise, Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings remain the winningest franchises in IPL history with five titles each, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru have vaulted from 17-year strugglers to back-to-back champions in just two seasons. Internationally, India, Australia and England lead the way in the current Test and white-ball rankings, with New Zealand and South Africa never far behind. If you never experienced IPL cricket betting before, we will keep you up to date with all the necessary insights about cricket betting you could wish for.
