SA vs BAN 1st Test Day 4 Predictions & Betting Tips

South Africa will once again welcome Bangladesh on Day 4 of the 1st of the two match Test series which is a part of Bangladesh’s tour of South Africa 2022. The match has been hosted at Kingsmead, Durban since March 31, Thursday. As we head towards the penultimate day of the Test, I am certain by now you have filled your pockets and it is now time to maximise your profits. Therefore, I have assorted three of the top betting tips for you from the SA vs BAN Day 4 match prediction.

The Proteas would be pleased with the performance they have put in on Day 3 of the ongoing Test. Their bowlers were made to toil hard but in the end they managed to maintain a 69 run lead over the visitors after the conclusion of the first innings. The visitors were bowled out in the first hour of the final session of the day. But the hosts could only bat for four overs as bad light and rain brought a premature end to the day. Earlier, Mahmudul Hasan Roy was the headline maker becoming the first from his country to score a Test ton against the Rainbow Nation. Bangladesh who resumed the day at 98/4 were in a precarious position but Joy’s knock steadied their ship. The youngster got some support from the lower middle order. Joy and Yasir Ali combined to make a 31 run partnership for the 7th wicket. Prior to which he built a 51 run partnership with Mehedy Hasan and an 82 run partnership with Litton Das. Joy who was the sole back-bone of Bangladesh’s first innings was the last man to get out as he fell victim to Lizaad Williams for 137. He batted for almost 116 overs and smashed 15 fours and 2 sixes. Opener Sarel Erwee and skipper Dean Elgar will resume the innings tomorrow morning. The home side who have taken a 75 run lead at the moment would like to bat for another two sessions on the moving day of the Test match and would like to put up a massive score on the board. While we get ready for the penultimate day of the Test, let us have a deeper dive at the three of the best betting tips from the SA vs BAN Day 4 head-to-head encounter.

SA vs BAN Day 4 Player Bets:

Dean Elgar and Sarel Erwee are my top two player betting tips for the SA vs BAN Day 4 match prediction. I am certain that the two aforementioned players will surely get you some lucrative return.

Dean Elgar To Score Over 31.5 Runs

The left-handed top-order South African batsman is the first one to make it to my list today. The skipper has all the essentials an opening batsman should have which includes playing late, solid defence and excellent off-stump awareness. The 34-year-old batsman struck a half-century in the first innings and formed a formidable opening partnership with Sarel Erwee. Elgar stayed at the crease for 101 deliveries in which he scored 67 runs which consisted of 11 boundaries. The opener has got the opportunity to play against the Bengal Tigers on 5 different occasions in which he has hammered 475 runs at an astonishing average of 95.00. He has scored 18, 199, 28*, 47 in the last four innings he has batted in against them. The southpaw has racked up about 298 runs from five games at this venue and averages close to 42.57 which is fairly above our target for tomorrow. The skipper holds an experience of 74 Tests wherein he has accumulated 4637 runs at an average of 38.99. On top of that, his career highest score of 199 came against Bangladesh. Dean Elgar is batting at 3* off 8 deliveries and considering all this we expect him to score above 31.5 runs in 2nd innings. Log on to Pari Match and place your bet on the same at odds of 1.71 from the SA vs BAN Day 4 head-to-head encounter.

Sarel Erwee To Score Over 28.5 Runs

Up next, we have left-handed batsman from Pietermaritzburg to my list today from the SA vs BAN Day 4 match prediction. The southpaw has been a late bloomer in his cricketing career and had once thought of quitting the game. Prior to the start of this series, the 31-year-old made his debut in the two match Test series against New Zealand last month. He scored a century in his second game and kicked off his international career in style. He scored 108 off 221 deliveries which included a total of 14 boundaries. The Kwazulu-Natal Inland batter scored 41 runs in the first innings of the ongoing match and formed a solid 113 run partnership for the first wicket. The southpaw is just playing his third game and has already scored 170 runs at an average of 34.00 which is fairly above our target. The opener holds an experience of 98 First-class matches in which he has accumulated 6057 runs to his tally of total runs at an average of 38.82. He has posted scores of 75, 97, 38, 41 in his last four FC innings against IND-A. Looking at his past datas and stats, I am certain that the opener Sarel Erwee who remained unbeaten at 3 overnight will not disappoint us when he comes out to bat tomorrow morning. Head over to Pari Match and place your bet on Sarel Erwee at odds of 1.71 to score over 28.5 runs in the second innings.

South Africa To Hit A Good Number Of Fours In 2nd Innings

The hosts are leading by 75 runs at the moment and have only managed to score 6 runs at the cost of no wickets so far. Skipper Dean Elgar and opener Sarel Erwee who looked rock solid in the first innings remained unbeaten after scoring three runs apiece at the end of Day 3. The Proteas would be aiming to put up a massive score on the board much like their first innings total. The hosts smashed a total of 50 fours in the first innings of the ongoing Test. In the previous game against New Zealand, the Proteas smashed 46 & 40 fours in both innings. Prior to which, South Africa engaged in a three match Test series against India at home. The Proteas averaged 26.33 fours per innings in that series which sums up to 158 fours. In the ongoing cycle of ICC Test Championship, Temba Bavuma has hit the most number of fours (57) followed by Dean Elgar (45) and Keegan Petersen (41). All the aforementioned players are yet to come out to the crease tomorrow morning. The Dean Elgar led side has struck a total of 316 fours in the ongoing cycle of ICC Test Championship which takes their average to 31.6 fours per innings. Therefore, we can certainly expect lots of fours to be hit on the penultimate day of the Test match.
