SA vs BAN Match 30 Predictions & Betting Tips

South Africa have the perfect opportunity to prove their credentials for a semi final spot with a potential third victory in the tournament against struggling Bangladesh at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, the 2nd of November. With Bangladesh already out of contention for progress into the knockout stage, it’ll be interesting to see how they approach the interesting match up ahead. Here, I have collated the three best ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 betting tips for you from the SA vs BAN match prediction.

While Group 2 is packed with stalwarts such as Pakistan, Afghanistan and New Zealand with clear plans and excellent execution, the first group is more of a combination of teams trying to find their feet or unable to deal with the pressure that such a tournament brings with it. A case in point is Bangladesh. Ahead of the event, they had racked up back-to-back series victories against New Zealand and Australia, winning 7 of their 10 clashes. Ranked 6th in the world, they were expected to put up a sturdy fight against the traditional elites and present a strong case for the two semi-final berths on offer in a group. Cut to today, and the team is yet to script a victory in the Super 12s, losing to Sri Lanka, England and even fellow strugglers West Indies. As for South Africa, they have seemed wobbly and contentious all along, but have somehow managed victories against the Caribbean outfit and Sri Lanka to hold a 2-1 record going into the match. Nevertheless, there are some glaring concerns with their team and it will all depend on whether Bangladesh still have the spirit to exploit the weaknesses and open their account. Here are my three best betting tips from the SA vs BAN match prediction.

SA vs BAN Team Bets:

Bangladesh are simply not a strong enough batting side when compared to their competitors and considering South Africa’s unbelievable bowling unit, I expect them to quite easily succumb in the coming match. On the basis of the same, after going through all available options, I have picked the three perfect team bet tips for you from the SA vs BAN head to head encounter.

South Africa to hit more sixes

I’ll just lay out the facts straight. In their last 16 T20Is, Bangladesh have managed just 45 sixes averaging less than 3 big hits per game. In the same period, they have conceded 60 maximums, almost a six more than they have scored per game. During their three matches in the World T20 Super 12s so far, they have been outscored by an astounding margin of 15 sixes already. That’s an average of 5 more sixes conceded than hit each game. For comparison, South Africa has cleared the ropes 11 times in their three games, averaging two more sixes than their upcoming opponents. At the same time, the Proteas have been hit for only 12 sixes as well, 8 less than their counterparts. Even across their last 18 T20Is overall, the African side has managed 88 maximums, again a difference of two more sixes each game. Thus, it seems practically impossible that Bangladesh will end up hitting more sixes than South Africa in their upcoming encounter. To take on this SA vs BAN team bet tip, log on to Dafabet considering they have offered excellent odds of 1.83.

Bangladesh to hit more fours

Even though Bangladesh has failed in the six-hitting department, they have excelled in finding the games. In their last 16 T20Is, which include 10 matches played on the most terrible batting pitches in the two series against Australia and New Zealand, the team managed an impressive 146 boundaries at an average of nine fours per game. More importantly, they restricted the opponent to just 127 fours in response, thus averaging more than a boundary per game. Even though the Proteas have a similar net average as well, the two teams’ numbers in the World T20 are poles apart. In their three games, the Tigers have struck 40 fours while conceding just 25 boundaries. South Africa, meanwhile, have hit just 25 fours themselves, averaging five less boundaries per game. At the same time, their opponents have sent the ball to the ropes 34 times, an average of three boundaries more than Bangladesh’s numbers. Thus, it seems pretty much a formality for Bangladesh to hit more fours than South Africa in their Super 12 fixture. You can capitalize on this SA vs BAN team bet tip at Dafabet with their outrageous odds of 2.64.

Bangladesh’s total sixes to be under 3.5

Bangladesh have so far played three games in the Super 12s stage. Against Sri Lanka, they managed just two sixes, a feat they would repeat against England in their second game. The number further plummeted to a solitary maximum against the West Indies, bringing their total to a paltry five sixes in three games. As stated earlier, across their last 16 T20Is the Tigers have just managed 45 big hits, at an average of 2.8 sixes per game. Only on five of those occasions have they breached the required mark, three of which came against associate nations Scotland, Papua New Guinea and Oman. If only matches against Test playing nations are considered, their average goes down to a pitiful 2 sixes per game on the back of just 25 big hits in 12 T20Is. WIth South Africa having arguably the world’s best T20 bowling lineup with Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj in their ranks, expect that average to slide down even further come the end of the match. The statistics clearly state there seems to be pretty much now that Bangladesh hit more than 3.5 sixes against the Proteas. To take on this SA vs BAN team bet tip, head to Dafabet and accept their fantastic odds of 1.85.
