AFG vs NED Match 1 Predictions & Betting Tips

Afghanistan and Netherlands will face off in the first of the three match series at West End Park International Cricket Stadium, Doha on January 21. I have picked out the best bet from the AFG vs NED head-to-head match ahead of the fixture for you.

This will be the first international ODI game played in the venue and the pitch is expected to offer a lot for the spinners. This will be the first ODI series for the Afghan side since the start of the previous year when they played against Ireland and won the series 3-0. Meanwhile, the Netherlands did not have the best of times in the T20 World Cup 2021 where they suffered three straight losses and fell out of the race during the qualification round. The last five clashes were one side favouring Afghanistan who led the tally by 4-0. As for now take a look at the top AFG vs NED betting tip handpicked for you.

AFG vs NED Player Bets:

Let us take a deeper dive at the best player betting odds for the AFG vs NED head-to-head match.

Scott Edwards to score under 17.5 runs

Scott Andrew Edwards made his first-class debut for the Netherlands against Namibia in the 2015–17 ICC Intercontinental Cup. He will be joining the middle batting order in a three match long series taking place in Qatar. Edwards is fairly new and has a total number of 17 List A games to his name where he amassed 319 runs at a mere average of 21.26. He has consistently underperformed in the 8 ODI games in his career with 155 runs in those innings at an average of 22.11. Although this exceeds our target by a small margin, his current form does the justice for this lucrative betting tip. He recently played the T20 World Cup for Netherlands and accumulated 29 runs in 3 innings at an average of 14.50. This aligns well with his season of 2021 in 50 over internationals. He played 5 ODIs in 2021 scraping 84 runs in the deed averaging at 16.80. Batting against an aggressive entity like Afghanistan won’t be any easy for the batter. Pari Match offers the odds of 1.87 for Edwards to strike out before 17.5 runs in the AFG vs NED head-to-head encounter and you should take these odds for a glorious payday.

Hashmatullah Shahidi to score over 21.5 runs

Hashmatullah Shahidi is a part of the new and improved Afghanistan squad who have been successful in climbing up to a good reputation in international cricket.

Rahmat Shah is also an experienced name among the ranks of Afghanistan. He has appeared in 114 List A games where he smashed 3850 runs with a high average of 35.98.
