BAN vs AFG 2nd T20 International Predictions & Betting Tips

Bangladesh will face Afghanistan in the 2nd T20I of the competition, which is going to be hosted at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on March 5. I have brought along three of the top betting tips from the BAN vs AFG 2nd T20I head-to-head clash.

In the previous 20 over game, Bangladesh went in to bat first where they posted 155 runs. Litton, who hit 60 off 44 deliveries, had looked most comfortable, often simply stroking the ball rather than slogging it. The target overwhelmed Afghanistan who were completely dismissed at 94 runs to hand out a 61 run win to Bangladesh. Nasum Ahmed shined for BAN and scalped 4 crucial wickets to register a dominating win over the latter. Bangladesh will be the favourites for this game. Ahead of the fixture, I have picked the best three betting tips from the BAN vs AFG match prediction.

BAN vs AFG Team Bets:

Let us take a peek at the best team betting tips from the BAN vs AFG head-to-head contest in the 2nd T20I of the series.

Afghanistan to score under 16.5 runs at 1st dismissal

Afghanistan are a progressing cricket nation and have risen up with a lot of cricket lately. They have an impressive line-up of bowlers, spinners in particular, but lack a similar vigour in the batting order. They were defeated in the ODI series vs BAN by 2-1. They posted 11, 9 and 43 in the ODI series which is a pretty good determinant of their opening line-up. The team has failed to excel in the opening lineup which is why they keep shuffling and trying out different combinations to start their innings. In the recently concluded T20 World Cup, they were terrible with their batting and were one of the bottom teams in the standings. They scored 54, 7, 53, 13 and 8 runs before losing their first wicket in the competition in those innings. Talking about the ongoing series, Hassan gave away his wicket pretty early with the team scoreboard reading 9, and him returning with a single run. Moreover, the aggressive Bangladeshi bowling order should help us as well. It should be sufficient to entice you to pick this hot betting tip and with Pari Match offering the odds of 1.87 for AFG to score below 16.5 runs in the BAN vs AFG head-to-head games, you should take it.

Bangladesh to score under 17.5 runs at 1st dismissal

Bangladesh won the ODI series against Afghanistan by 2-1. The series moved to the T20I series by 1-0. Despite possessing hard hitters in the squad, the opening line-up have failed to impress with their early dismissals. Bangladesh were recently flushed in a three match long T20I series against Pakistan in November 2021 by a humiliating series defeat by 1-2. 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. In the opening 20 over contest between the sides, Bangladesh posted 10 runs as the opening partnership before Md Naim lost his wicket in the 3rd over. Let's go 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. Head to Pari Match to fetch the odds of 1.87 for Bangladesh to score under 17.5 runs and you should take it for great returns.

BAN vs AFG 1st T20I Player Bet:

I have picked Mahmudullah to score low as the best player betting tip from the BAN vs AFG match prediction. Let us see why.

Mahmudullah to score under 16.5 runs

We have Mahmudullah for our first player betting tip. Mahmudullah, the Bangladeshi skipper has led the team into the 2-1 ODI series victory against Afghanistan recently. But he seems to struggle in the 20 over format particularly. He has an experience of 254 T20 games, averaging at 25.32. This further filters out to de escalate in the T20Is where he averages at 23.86. He was not very fruitful in the ODI series vs AFG where he scored 8, 6* and 29* runs. Mahmudullah had a terrible year of 2021 where he amassed 496 runs in 26 matches to bat at an average of 23.61. Moreover, his average stays pretty rigid and hovers around the similar figure with regard to his past records against the opponents. He batted in 7 games against the team where he averaged at 24.66. Although these figures are over our target, they are particularly low for a batter with a great amount of experience in the cricket arena. The best example of it would be his 10 run long innings in the 1st T20 game of the series. Pari Match is offering odds of Mahmudullah to score under 16.5 runs in the BAN vs AFG head-to-head contest and you should pick this lucrative betting tip.

My Picks:

Bangladesh to score under 17.5 runs at 1st dismissal @ 1.87 (Pari Match)

Afghanistan to score under 16.5 runs at 1st dismissal - @ 1.87 (Pari Match)

Mahmudullah to score under 16.5 runs - @ 1.87 (Pari Match)
