In cricket sports betting, the market “Team to Bat First, Batsman’s First Scoring Shot” refers to predicting the first scoring action (not dot ball or dismissal) made by a batsman from the team that bats first in the match.
Key Elements:
- Team to Bat First: The market applies only to the team that bats first after the toss.
- Batsman’s First Scoring Shot: You’re betting on what the batsman scores the first time they put runs on the board. This excludes dot balls and dismissals.
Possible Options Usually Offered:
- 1 Run (Single)
- 2 Runs
- 3 Runs
- 4 (Boundary)
- 6 (Six)
- Other (e.g., 5 runs via overthrows)
- No Score (if batsman is dismissed without scoring)
Example :
If Team A bats first and their opening batsman scores his first runs with a four, and you bet on “4 (Boundary)”, you win.
If he gets out for a duck (no scoring shot), and you bet on “No Score”, that’s the winning outcome.
