BAN vs AFG 1st T20 International Predictions & Betting Tips

Bangladesh are all set to lock horns with Afghanistan once again but this time it will be in the two-match T20I series. This match is going to be hosted at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on March 3, Thursday. This brings us an unique opportunity to make some money from the T20I encounter and therefore I have brought along three of the top betting tips from the BAN vs AFG 1st T20I head-to-head clash.

BAN vs AFG Team Bet:

Team bets are always lucrative right till the end of a game of cricket and here I have managed to handpick one of the best deals that I have found from the Bangladesh vs Afghanistan 1st T20I prediction markets.

Bangladesh to score under 19.5 runs at 1st dismissal

Bangladesh has a good mix of batters and bowlers in the squad and clutched the ODI series against Afghanistan by 2-1. Despite possessing hard hitters in the squad, the opening line-up have failed to impress with their early dismissals. They posted good opening partnerships in the ODIs but the same seems to be lacking in the much shorter and aggressive 20 over format. Bangladesh were recently flushed in a three match long T20I series against Pakistan in November 2021 by a humiliating series defeat by 0-3. The fragile openers failed to provide the stellar starts in the three innings and bundled out at the scores of 3, 1 and 7 runs within the first two overs of the match. Not only did they lose their first wicket under our target, the opening duo did not last past the single digit total. Let’s roll back to the last time they met Afghanistan in 2019. Litton Das slipped the mark and lost his wicket with the team’s score sheet reading 0 & 9 runs respectively. All the facts lead to the conclusion for Bangladesh to lose an early wicket in the BAN vs AFG head-to-head encounter. So, what are you waiting for? Head to Pari Match to fetch the odds of 1.87 for Bangladesh to score under 19.5 runs and you should take it for great returns.

BAN vs AFG 1st T20I Player Bets:

Now that we have our hands on a really interesting team market, let us make some more from a couple of Bangladeshi batters as well. Shakib al Hasan and Mahmudullah are the two batters who can fill your pockets day after tomorrow from the BAN vs AFG 1st T20I clash.

Shakib Al Hasan to score over 19.5 runs

The former Bangladesh captain and one of world’s best all-rounders Shakib Al Hasan is our first pick from the player markets of BAN vs AFG 1st T20I battle. The vastly experienced Shakib comes along with a bag full of experience of 94 T20I matches and has 1894 runs at an average of 22.81. He is a man who has played 362 T20 games in his career up until now and that is a huge number! The left-handed all-rounder has scored 123 runs against Afghanistan at an average of 30.75. The last time Bangladesh played a T20 international game against Afghanistan, he single-handedly won the game for his country by scoring 70* from just 45 balls. In the first match of any series, Shakib has featured in 15 matches for his nation and has scored 400 runs at an average of 30.76. Pari Match is offering odds of 1.87 for Shakib Al Hasan to score over 19.5 runs in the BAN vs AFG 1st T20I match prediction.

Mahmudullah to score over 15.5 runs

Lastly I have the Bangladesh T20I skipper Mahmudullah, who has the potential to make almost double the money. To begin with, Mahmudullah is the leading run getter in the head-to-head encounters against Afghanistan. The right-handed lower-middle-order batter has scored 138 runs at an average of 27.60. He also comes in with a massive experience of 113 T20 international matches and 1971 runs at an average of 24.03. Mahmudullah has played 43 T20Is on Bangladesh soil and has 944 runs against his name at an average of 31.68. He has also played 38 T20Is and has added 710 runs at a decent batting average of 24.48. In the first match of any T20I series, Mahmudullah has added 373 runs to his name at an average of 26.64. The last time his side took on Afghanistan at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, Mahmudullah finished with a score of 44 from 39 balls, when most of his fellow batsmen struggled with the bat. Pari Match is offering odds of Mahmudullah to score over 15.5 runs in the BAN vs AFG 1st T20I match prediction.
