ICC Cricket World Cup

The biggest international tournament in the cricket world, and it occurs every four years. It is a one-day competition, which means that each team gets 50 overs (300 balls) to score as many runs as they can in a match. The tournament usually lasts around seven weeks, and it is full of entertainment and drama. A significant amount of money is wagered on the cricket World Cup betting when this tournament is taking place. Australia are the most successful team, having won the title six times – they are the current World Champions, having won the 2023 edition. India, West Indies, Pakistan, England, and Sri Lanka are the only other teams to have won it at least once.

ICC T20 Cricket World Cup

Cricket is unique in the sense that it has two World Cups, but this one is a shorter one since each team is given just 20 overs (120 balls) to put as big a score on the board as they can. In the shorter formats of this sport, every ball is an occasion, which is why millions of people all over the world are glued to their television screens when it is being played. The last edition took place in 2024, and India lifted the trophy.

The Ashes

For those who support England or Australia, the Ashes is one of the biggest events in international cricket. These two teams share a fierce sporting rivalry that intensifies on the cricket field. The Ashes have seen some of the most memorable moments in cricket such as Ricky Ponting going berserk at getting run out by a substitute fielder, Freddie Flintoff’s completely unplayable over, or the ball of the century by the late Shane Warne. In 1882, England were defeated by Australia in their own back yard, and the English press acted like it was the end of the world. They declared English cricket dead and that its Ashes were being taken back to Australia. The following year, England went Down Under to reclaim “the Ashes” and did just that.

Indian Premier League

The Indian Premier League, also called the IPL, first started in 2008 and it has since gone on to become one of the most popular cricket competitions. All of the best T20 players from around the world are drawn to it due to the riches that are on offer, while the fans are drawn to the entertainment and drama as well as the IPL cricket betting opportunities. The Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings are the most successful teams with five wins each, with the latter being the current champions.

ICC World Test Championship

The ICC wanted to increase interest in Test cricket, so they decided to create a league competition for this format. Nine ICC Full Member teams participate in each cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC), and the two teams that finish at the top of the table then play in a final to see who wins the title. The first edition took place in 2019-2021 and was won by New Zealand, while the 2021-2023 edition was won by Australia. India finished as the runners-up in both editions.

Big Bash League

This is another highly popular T20 tournament that is played in Australia in the months of December, January, and February. Just like with the Indian Premier League, all of the top T20 players from across the globe travel to Australia to put on an entertaining show for cricket fans from all over the world. The Perth Scorchers have had the most success with five trophies, while the Sydney Sixers have three titles to their name. The Brisbane Heat have two titles, while the Adelaide Strikers, Melbourne Renegades, and Sydney Thunder have one win apiece.

ICC Champions Trophy

The ICC Champions Trophy is usually contested by the eight top-ranked men’s ODI teams and comes with numerous betting opportunities. The upcoming edition will see the tournament played for the tenth time, with India assuming hosting duties after winning the 2025 edition. The Indian team became the first to win three Champions Trophy titles. Here at Betiton, one of the best online cricket betting sites for Irish punters, valuable guides like this one are provided to enhance your betting experience.

Asia Cup

October next year will also see the 17th edition of the Asia Cup which, a huge opportunity to bet on cricket matches. Five full members of the Asian Cricket Council will contest, namely Afghanistan, Sri Lanka Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. The UAE will also appear on an invitational basis in 2025. The six teams will compete in two initial groups of three, with the top two in each one advancing to the so-called “Super Four” stage. All matches here will be played in the popular T20 format, in preparation for the T20 World Cup in 2026.

Border-Gavaskar Trophy

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is one of the most prestigious prizes in Test cricket and often accompanies numerous cricket betting markets. It is contested by Australia and India on an irregular basis. Inaugurated in 1996, the series has been contested 16 times, with India winning ten. The Indian national team has also won four successive Border–Gavaskar trophies since 2016, including the last test series on home soil in the 2022/23 season. The 20th iteration of this competition will be hosted in India, from January to February 2027.

Olympic Games

Cricket will be one of five new sports introduced to the Summer Olympics program in Los Angeles in 2028, with men’s and women’s T20 tournaments set to be held concurrently. Interestingly, this will be the second time that cricket has appeared as an Olympic sport. It debuted in the 1900 Summer Games in Paris, with Great Britain and France contesting a single two-day match over two innings. However, it was dropped the following summer due to a lack of entrants, before being formally reintroduced in October 2023. The best cricket betting sites will offer Olympic outrights and match wagering, with the top nations all expected to compete in 2028.
