BAN vs IRE Team Bet:

Let us have a look at our top team betting tip from the BAN vs IRE match prediction.

Bangladesh to score under 25.5 fours

Bangladesh recorded their biggest win in ODIs against Ireland in the first game of the series. They also scored 338 runs, their biggest ever total in this format. The side scored 26 fours in the last game, which just falls above our target. But that makes sense, given this is their biggest score in ODIs. In their last five completed matches, Bangladesh recorded 14, 17, 18, 22 & 26 fours respectively. This sums up to 97 fours scored across five matches, averaging 19.40 fours per game, which is way below our target. In four out of these five matches, Bangladesh scored under 25.5 fours. This entails a 80% success rate for them to score under 25.5 fours. In their last five meetings with Ireland, Bangladesh scored 22.80 fours on average and in three of them, their total fours scored falls under our target. This gets better with every line. Speaking of Ireland, the side leaked 24.20 fours on an average against the oppositions they faced in their last five matches, which falls under our target. Further, in three out of these five matches, Ireland conceded fours under our target. Sylhet International Stadium has hosted five ODIs so far out and only twice in ten innings, the total fours scored by a team ranked above our target. That makes this betting tip a safer one to go for. Shakib & Towhid scored the maximum number of fours for Bangladesh in the last game. The two batters scored 9 & 8 fours respectively. With that said, it would be fair to put your money on Bangladesh to score under 25.5 fours in this game. 1XBET has offered odds of 1.832 for the same and you should definitely pick it for a profitable return.
