SA vs BAN Day 2 Predictions & Betting Tips

The red ball dramatics is to be continued between South Africa and the visitors, Bangladesh, in the second day of the 1st Test match. The match is being played at Kingsmead, Durban from March 31. Ahead of this encounter, I have three best betting tips from the SA vs BAN match prediction.

After the 1st day of play, South Africa registered a total of 233 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. Temba Bavuma scored his 18th Test half-century in his 50th Test and held South Africa's middle order together after a strong start and a small wobble on the opening day against Bangladesh. Bavuma and Kyle Verreynne shared an unbroken 53-run fifth-wicket stand to leave South Africa in a position they will be fairly comfortable with despite the run-rate slowing as the day progressed. Hence ahead of the 2nd day of the play, take a look at the top three betting tips from the SA vs BAN head to head game.

SA vs BAN Team Bets:

Let me walk you through the best team bets from the SA vs BAN head-to head encounter.

South Africa to score under 426.5 runs

South Africa are placed fourth in the ICC Test rankings. They had a fairly start to the year with winning the Test series against India by 2-1. They posted scores under 250 against India while the bowling order buckled up to bag the victory. Later in February, South Africa lost a Test against New Zealand by a huge margin where they posted 95 & 111 runs whereas registered 364 & 354 runs in the 2nd game to tie the tally. Notably, in all the innings, the squad failed to register a score close to the desired target. Moreover, Bangladesh presented a capable bowling attack in the recent Test scenario. Currently, Temba Bavuma and Kyle Verreynne are batting on the crease with 53 and 27 runs in their pockets. SA have scored 233 runs and have almost 200 more runs to score before attaining the desired target. This looks far-fetched and with no major batter left in the line-up, it looks unlikely for the squad to pull off the big target. Pari Match offers the odds of 1.87 for SA to bundle out before scoring 426.5 runs and you should take these favourable odds for a great payday.

South Africa to score over 272.5 runs before next dismissal

South Africa has been fairly capable of maintaining their international stance in the Test cricket scenario and had a great start to 2022 in the format. They made a comeback after a defeat in the 1st Test match in the three match series against India to embark on a 2-1 victory over the latter. It followed a draw against New Zealand in the recently concluded series in February 2022. It was then when Kyle Verreynne played an unbeaten innings of 136 runs in the second innings of the 2nd Test to pull SA from the shackles to register a comfortable victory. Currently, Bavuma, averaging at 33.58 in Test cricket, and Verreynne, averaging at 31.00, are standing on the crease with the scores of 53 and 27 runs respectively. SA scoreboard reads as 233 with the loss of 4 wickets and no major batsmen left in the squad. With that established, the batters on the crease are motivated to carry out an expensive innings as evident from their stance on the 1st day of play. With that established, scoring another 40 runs should not be a hassle for the side. Pari Match offers the odds of 1.87 for the same and you should take it to capitalise on this betting tip from the SA vs BAN match prediction.

SA vs BAN Player Bets:

I have picked Bavuma for the best player betting tip from the SA vs BAN match prediction. Read further for a better insight.

Temba Bavuma to score under 100.5 runs

Temba Bavuma, a fairly experienced batter in the circuit, made his Test debut in 2014 and took a while to blossom into the seasoned player he is today. Bavuma has an experience of 49 Test matches where he amassed a total of 2418 runs at an average of 33.58. Moreover, his innings were laced with a maiden century and 17 fifties. The batter has a remarkable batting talent in the middle order but lacks a long sustaining innings as evident from his past innings. He holds a good track record against Bangladesh where he averages at 72.00 in 5 games against the latter, but his current form reveals a different story altogether. He bundled out at the scores of 7 & 41 and 29 & 23 runs in the two Tests against New Zealand, all under our desired target. It is noteworthy that in his 8 year long career so far, the batter has only registered a single century, making this betting tip more safe. He is currently batting at 53 runs after the conclusion of the 1st day of play and is more likely to bundle out before scoring a ton in the 1st innings. With that mentioned, you should pick the odds of 1.75 offered by Pari Match for Bavuma to score under 100.5 runs in the SA vs BAN head-to-head match for a glorious payday.
