BAN vs PAK Team Bets:

Take a look at the best team betting tips from the BAN vs PAK match predictions.

Pakistan to score over 23.5 runs before 1st dismissal

Both the sides will engage in the 1st match of the Tri-Nation series in New Zealand. Pakistan have been a spectacular lot so far and were the runners-up in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2022. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have become one of the most lethal duos in the cricket world and are feared by every bowler across the globe. They did equally fantastic in the T20I series against England and posted the scores of 85, 203, 17, 97, 17, 14 and 5 runs before losing their 1st wicket. This averages at 61.85 per game for the 1st wicket. Looking at the opening scores, it looks like the opening duo do not believe in half-measure. Either they lose a very early wicket or go big with spectacular opening partnerships. Azam and Rizwan have sealed their place in the opening line-up and averaged at 43.41 & 52.53 respectively in the series. Bangladesh and Pakistan met last in 2021 for a three match long T20I series and posted the scores of 32, 12 and 16 runs for the 1st wicket. To capitalise on this betting tip, log on to 1XBET as they offer the odds of 1.832 for Pakistan to score over 31.5 runs before 1st dismissal.

Pakistan to score under 14.5 fours

Pakistan has been performing well in the international cricket circuit and bagged important victories in the 20 over format. But the team relies too much on Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam for carrying the batting department. Recently PAK engaged in a seven match long T20I series against England but lost the series narrowly by 4-3. Pakistan bagged 81 fours in the series. This averages at 11.57 fours per game, which satisfies our betting tip and makes it a safe pick from the BAN vs PAK head-to-head encounter. They posted 10, 16, 11, 13, 8, 11 and 12 boundaries in those seven games respectively. This entails a 85.7% efficiency for the team to score under 15 fours. Azam knocked 27 fours while Rizwan smashed 23 boundaries. 61.72% of the boundaries came off the bats of these two batters, which is a proof of the reliability of the team towards them. Back in 2021, when the teams collided, Pakistan scored 8, 7 and 11 fours in three games. This mentioned, it is no brainer and you should bet your money on this lucrative betting tip to cash in a heavy bonus. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.8 for Pakistan to score under 14.5 fours in the BAN vs PAK head-to-head match.

BAN vs PAK Player Bet:

I have picked Mohammad Rizwan to score high in the BAN vs PAK head-to-head match.

Mohammad Rizwan to knock over 31.5 runs

Most were already aware of this man’s brilliance, but his campaign in this year is a testament of Rizwan’s batting capabilities. He has mustered 2259 runs in 57 T20I innings at an astounding average of 52.53. Rizwan had an amazing campaign batting in the T20 World Cup 2021 where he smashed 281 runs in 6 games with an average of 70.25. The opener has hit an extraordinary 1123 runs in just 23 T20I innings in 2021, at an average of 73.66. He has registered a century and 20 half centuries, and became one of the most crucial batting entities in the team besides Babar Azam. He was the top-scorer in the Asia Cup 2022 with 281 runs in 6 games, averaging at a high 56.20. This year is going well for him as he averages at 56.36 so far, having played 13 games. His most recent exploit came against England in a long seven match long series where he posted the scores of 68, 88*, 8, 88, 63 and 1. With the exception of two games, he managed to not only score over our target but bagged half-centuries in four matches. Rizwan averages at 31.66 against Bangladesh and scored 40, 39 and 11 runs in 2021 when the sides met in a three match long T20I series. With all facts considered, Mohammad Rizwan looks like the best batting candidate for this exclusive betting tip. You can capitalise on this BAN vs PAK player betting tip at 1XBET with the best odds of 1.832.
