In cricket sports betting, the market “1st Innings Batting Team – Total Runs” refers to a bet on the total number of runs that the team batting first will score in their entire first innings.
How It Works:
- You bet on how many runs the 1st innings batting team will score before they are all out or complete their allotted overs.
- This market is common in ODIs (50 overs), T20s (20 overs), and Test matches (1st innings).
Betting Options:
- Over/Under Total Runs
- Example:
- Market: Over/Under 165.5 Runs
- If you bet on Over 165.5, you win if the team scores 166 or more.
- If you bet on Under 165.5, you win if the team scores 165 or less.
- Example:
- Exact Range or Bracket
- Example:
- 0–149 runs → High odds
- 150–169 runs
- 170–189 runs
- 190+ runs → Low odds (if team is strong)
- Example:
- Team Total Runs (Exact or Multirange)
- Example:
- Team A to score 180–199 runs
- Better odds but more risk.

Important Factors To Consider:
- Pitch condition
