BAN v NZ 3rd T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

Bangladesh and New Zealand are set to battle against each other in the 3rd T20I of the five-match T20I series on Sunday, 5th September. The games are being played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. I have handpicked three of the best betting tips from the BAN vs NZ 3rd 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 were sensational. They knocked over New Zealand for 60 in the 17th over. In the 2nd T20I, Bangladesh elected to bat first and set a target of 142 runs for New Zealand to win the game. While New Zealand held on in the game, they still couldn’t achieve the target and lost the game by the narrowest of margins (4 runs).

Bangladesh has been taking advantage of the absence of some of the Kiwi veterans, and also took advantage of home conditions. As for the Bangladesh bowlers, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahedi Hasan scalped two wickets each in the 2nd match. Tom Latham was the top scorer in the match, but his unbeaten 65* runs, could not get a victory for the Kiwis. The other NZ batsmen were easily beaten by the bowlers, with Will Young scoring the second-highest from the team at 22 runs. Mohammad Naim, Liton Das, and Mahamadullah scored in their 30’s and were responsible for 77% of Bangladesh’s score. I have the top BAN vs NZ T20I match predictions and betting tips sorted out for you.

BAN vs NZ Player Bets:

While the Bangladeshis have batsmen who are playing inconsistently, New Zealand has a lot of players to choose from to underbet in the series. I have picked two such batsmen and Tom Latham to score over the target for the third T20I. Take a look at the top BAN vs NZ player betting markets.

Tom Blundell to score under 13.5 runs

The first bet I have picked for you is a player who prefers the longest format of the game. He has never been able to perform in T20 Internationals. Tom Blundell has played only 4 T20I innings and scored just 25 runs from the games. His average is 8.33 and his highest score was 14 runs against Australia. Tom Blundell has been playing domestic T20’s since 2014 and has some splendid innings. With 988 runs from his 43 domestic innings, he averages 24.70 in the games. Although his biggest problem even in domestic games is his consistency.

Tom Blundell debuted in a game against Bangladesh in 2017 but did not get to bat in the match. He scored 6 and 2 runs in his two previous games of the series and is expected to get out early in the season as well. This is the first series, he is coming out as an opener in a T20 international, and we have seen him fail. With a strong bowling attack, consisting of Shakib Al Hasan, Nusum Ahmed, Mahedi Hasan and Mustafazir Rahim, Blundell is likely to fall soon. This is one of the top BAN vs NZ betting tips. Dafabet.com has offered odds of 1.87 for Tom Blundell to score under 13.5 runs.

Tom Latham To Score Over 14.5 Runs

Next up we have the wicketkeeper-batsman and the stand-in of the Black Caps, Tom Latham. Latham has been a domestic cricket fixture since 2011 but is leading his team for the first time in an international series. This is also the first time he has come out to bat against 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. In the second T20I, Latham was the top scorer in the game, unbeaten at 65* runs from 49 balls with 6 fours and a six.

The 29-year-old New Zealand batter has played 15 T20 international matches in his career to make 246 runs from them averaging at 22.36. While playing away from home, Latham has featured in 12 matches and struck 186 runs from them at 23.25. This will be his first series with more than 2 matches. This is another great market in the upcoming BAN vs NZ head to head match. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Tom Latham to score over 14.5 runs.

Colin De Grandhomme to score under 12.5 runs

The last bet is for a veteran for the Kiwi batting squad, who has been time and again left out of the main team. Colin De Grandhomme has been playing domestically since 2006, but first got the opportunity to play an International T20 only in 2012. He has played 38 T20I’s since then, with 496 runs from them at an average of 17.10. He has played 5 matches against Bangladesh, with just 56 runs from them. He was able to score over the target against them when he faced them for the first time but has failed to do so since then. His scores in his last 4 games against Bangladesh were: 2, 4*, 1, and 8.

Colin de Grandhomme is not in great form either. He is just coming out of the 100 men’s competition and only managed to score in the double digits once in his 6 innings for Southern Brave Men. He has been a part of 5 T20 Internationals in the last two years, with 17 runs from them. His highest score in these games was 8 runs, in his last T20I against Bangladesh. He came out to bat in the 4th and 5th position, and he has only scored over the target once in his last 5 games in either position. This is the final NZ vs BAN match predictions. Dafabet.com is offering odds of 1.87 for Colin De Grandhomme to score under 12.5 runs.
