BAN vs SL 3rd ODI Predictions & Betting Tips

Bangladesh will lock horns with Sri Lanka in the third and final ODI of the three-match series. This forthcoming game will be hosted at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka on May 28, Friday. Therefore, I took the opportunity to accumulate three of the best betting tips from the BAN vs SL 3rd ODI match prediction.

Relentless, ruthless, merciless, I am going to run short of words to describe Bangladesh’s current form in 50-over cricket. The Bangla Tigers, under the able leadership of Tamim Iqbal, have finally achieved a feat, for which they have waited for a long time. Bangladesh have finally won a bilateral ODI series against Sri Lanka for the very first time in the history of the game. Tamim Iqbal and co. tamed a clueless Sri Lankan team, who just could not hold onto their ground.

Bangladesh posted an okay-ish total of 246 runs in the second ODI after batting first. The only highlight of that particular innings - Mushfiqur Rahim’s flawless knock of 125 runs! Mahmudullah did support him yet again with 41 runs but Sri Lanka did well to keep that total under the 250-run mark. In reply, Kusal Perera and his Men in Blue kept on losing wickets at regular intervals, failing to stitch partnerships. Rain did play a part but one has to blame Sri Lanka for losing that game by 103 runs (DLS method). With nothing to lose, Sri Lanka will take one more shot at Bangladesh in the final game of the series. There lies our chance to make more money and therefore I gathered three of the best betting tips from the BAN vs SL 3rd ODI match prediction for you to bet on.

BAN vs SL 3rd ODI Player Bets:

Having tamed Sri Lanka for the first time in a bilateral ODI series, the odds are favouring Bangladesh heavily for the final match of the series. Therefore I picked up some moderately risky player markets from the BAN vs SL 3rd ODI match prediction. Where’s the fun in cricket betting without a little bit of risk!

Mushfiqur Rahim to score a 50

The former Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim has been having a gala time with the bat in the 50-over format recently. He is the highest run getter of this ongoing ODI series against Sri Lanka by a mile. Rahim has 209 runs in just 2 matches at an astounding average of 104.50. Interestingly, his batting has breached onto the next level ever since Tamim Iqbal has taken over the leadership duties of this team. Mushfiqur has scored 554 runs in 11 matches at an extremely impressive average of 69.25 under Tamim.

Moreover, the wicket-keeper batsman has four fifty-plus scores in his last five 50-over games against Sri Lanka. The scores read - 125, 84, 10, 98* and 67! These are some serious numbers I must say. In 2021, the right-handed batsman has played 8 matches and has 379 runs under his belt at an incredible average of 63.16. Mushfiqur Rahim has three half-centuries and one century in his last six knocks at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Dafabet is offering odds of 2.60 for Mushfiqur Rahim to score a 50 in the BAN vs SL 3rd ODI match prediction. I am willing to count on the little man, are you?

Tamim Iqbal to hit over 3.5 fours

The Bangladesh skipper has already added a special feather to his captaincy hat after outclassing Sri Lanka for the first time in a bilateral ODI series. But he still has one more favour to pull off and this it will be for us. Since we are talking about his boundary hitting skills, let me tell you, Tamim has hit 817 fours in 215 matches and that is an average of at least 3.8 fours per innings.

Against Sri Lanka, he has managed to hit 81 boundaries in 26 matches, which again is more than at least three boundaries. While playing at home, the left-handed opening batsman of Bangladesh has clobbered 416 fours in 103 matches, and that is an average of more than four hits per knock. In 2021, Tamim has clattered 34 fours in 8 matches, which again is more than four boundaries on an average. Bet 365 is offering odds of 1.72 for Tamim Iqbal to hit over 3.5 fours in the BAN vs SL 3rd ODI match prediction.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to be the top team bowler for Bangladesh

This news came in a while ago - Mehidy Hasan Miraz from Bangladesh has put himself up to the 2nd spot on the ICC Men’s ODI Bowlers Rankings. There are several reasons for which I am willing to count on Mehidy and so should you. Starting with - Mehidy has already picked up 7 wickets in just two matches at a jaw-dropping average of 8.29. While bowling on the home soil, Hasan has picked up 28 wickets in 14 matches and that means he adds at least two victims to his name.

In this calendar year, Mehidy has played 8 matches and has 14 scalps against his name. He has also added 16 wickets to his existing tally while playing against Sri Lanka. He has taken 49 matches to reach 54 wickets in his ODI career and right now, he is more than handy. While sharing the new ball with the other bowlers, Mehidy has picked up 20 wickets in just 13 matches. Dafabet is offering odds of 3.60 for Mehidy Hasan Miraz to be the top team bowler for Bangladesh in the BAN vs SL 3rd ODI match prediction.
