BAN v NZ 2nd T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

Bangladesh and New Zealand are set to battle against each other in the 2nd T20I of the five-match T20I series on Friday, 3rd September. The scheduled fixture will be played at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. I have handpicked three of the best betting tips from the BAN vs NZ 2nd T20I head-to-head match.

The first game was a low-scoring affair as the host led the series by 1-0 in the series opener. Bangladesh made the most of home conditions and managed to get its first T20 international win against New Zealand in its 11th attempt. Bangladesh was sensational. They knocked over New Zealand for 60 in the 17th over. Only two of the Kiwi batsmen managed to get into double figures. Tom Latham and Henry Nicholls were the batsmen that looked capable of getting some runs.

Bangladesh took the advantage of the absence of some of the experienced players in the Kiwi batting squad, and showed how difficult it was to be beaten at home. As for the Bangla Tiger bowlers, Mustafizur Rahman picked up three wickets while Nasum Ahmed, Shakib Al Hasan and Mohammad Saifuddin scalped two each. The Tigers chased down 61 in the 15th over with seven wickets in hand. The Bangladeshi men have continued their good form in the shortest format and will be looking to keep their winning ways. Meanwhile, the Kiwis have to be their absolute best in order to win the second game of the series. As for now, take a look at the top three Bangladesh vs New Zealand betting tips collated for you.

BAN vs NZ Player Bets:

With New Zealand missing out on key players this series, I have gone ahead and picked Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah and Tom Latham among the batsmen to put your money on in the BAN vs NZ player betting tips.

Shakib Al Hasan To Score Over 16.5 Runs

The first bet is a Bangladeshi batsman who is a must pick on any given day. Shakib Al Hasan has joined the current series after a successful encounter with Australia played earlier last month. In the series opener he was the highest run scorer among batsmen who was recognised as the Player of the match. He played a key role in securing his side the first win of the series. Hasan faced 33-balls and notched 25 runs to the teams scoreboard. While batting was not easy for Bangladesh either, the middle order with Shakib Al Hasan being one of them gave Bangladesh a big advantage. His ability to perform consistently and to stay calm under pressure worked well for Bangladesh in the first match against the Kiwis. In the five-match series against the Aussies played earlier to this, Hasan has scored 15, 26, 26 and 36 hence scoring above target in three of these matches. The all-rounder has played 85 matches in his T20I career and made 1743 runs from them at 23.55. He has an ethical record playing at home as well. He has come out to bat in 37 matches in his home soil, where he has piled a gammoth of 817 runs at an average of 27.23. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Shakib Al Hasan to score over 16.5 runs in the BAN vs NZ match prediction.

Mahmudullah To Score Over 13.5 Runs

If you had followed my lead on the first match of the series you would have made some awesome bucks from our next player in line. The captain of the Bangla Tigers, Mahmudullah has done his part of the job for his side. He scored 14* off the 22 balls faced. The batting allrounder has played 98 T20I matches in his career and gathered 1651 runs from them at an average of 23.45. In the five-match series played against Australia, added 91 runs in the five innings played averaging 18.20 as he led from the front.

The Bengal Tiger has captained his team in 23 matches averaging at 22.44 and 404 runs to his name. He has generally come out to bat in the 5th and 6th position where he has scored 503 and 670 runs in these two positions. In the 2021 season he averaged at 19.75 from the 9 matches played in the shorter format till date. Like Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah also holds a good record at home. From 40 matches played at home, the captain has notched 782 runs at an average of 32.58. While playing against the Kiwis, Mahmudullah has 200 runs from 10 matches which averages 22.22. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Mahmudullah to score over 13.5 runs in the BAN vs NZ match prediction.

Tom Latham To Score Over 15.5 Runs

Lastly we have the wicketkeeper-batsman of the Black Caps, Tom Latham. Latham is more of a fixture in the domestic cricket circuit and is captaining his side in an international encounter for the first time in his career. This is also his first time facing Bangladesh in an international fixture. Latham was among the two batsmen in the series opener who managed to hit the double figures. Latham made 18 runs from 25 balls played which was the highest for the team alongside Henry Nicholls. The 29-year-old New Zealand batter has played 14 Twenty20 international matches in his career to make 181 runs from them averaging at 16.45. While playing away from home, Latham has featured in 11 matches and struck 121 runs in them. This is also his first match at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Tom Latham to score over 16.5 runs in the BAN vs NZ head-to-head match.
