What does “Team with Highest Score at 1st Dismissal” mean?
This cricket betting market requires you to predict which team will have the higher score when their first wicket falls.
- You compare Team A’s score at their 1st wicket vs Team B’s score at their 1st wicket
- The team with the higher runs at the moment of their first dismissal wins the bet
It does not depend on:
- Final match result
- Total runs scored
- Number of wickets lost after the first one
Only the score at the first wicket matters.
How the Bet Works (Simple Explanation)
- Match starts
- Team A bats → first wicket falls at a certain score
- Team B bats → first wicket falls at a certain score
- The team with the higher score at that moment is the winner
Examples
Example 1: Bet Wins
- Team A: 1st wicket falls at 42 runs
- Team B: 1st wicket falls at 28 runs
Winning Team: Team A
Team A had the higher score at first dismissal.
Example 2: Bet Loses
- Team A: 1st wicket falls at 15 runs
- Team B: 1st wicket falls at 33 runs
Losing Bet: Team A
Team B had more runs when their first wicket fell.
Example 3: Tie Outcome
- Team A: 1st wicket at 25 runs
- Team B: 1st wicket at 25 runs
Result depends on the bookmaker:
- Some void the bet
- Some offer a “Draw” option
Always check the market rules.
