BAN vs AUS 1st T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

Bangladesh and Australia will square off in the 1st T20I of the five-match T20I series on Wednesday, 3rd August. 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 AUS 1st T20I match prediction.

Bangladesh and Australia will lock horns against each other in 5 T20Is. All the matches of the series will be played at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Australia is touring Bangladesh after their tour in 2020 was postponed. In fact the Kangaroo’s are travelling to Dhaka for the first time since 2014 during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. Bangladesh are in a hot form after thrashing Zimbabwe in their recently concluded tour. The Bangla Tigers not just won but ferociously dominated over Zimbabwe winning the one-off test , ODI series 3-0, and clinched the T20I series 2-1.

On the other hand, Australia are coming from West Indies after a mixed show of their form. Earlier losing the T20I series by 4-1 against the Windies, the Kangaroos bounced back in the ODI's which they won by 2-1. The two teams have faced off against each other on four occasions in T20I format and have been entirely dominated by the Australians. The Tigers have been unable to win a single contest against the Kangaroos. However, Bangladesh and Australia will both be missing the services of some of their key players in the forthcoming series. As the teams gear up for their first encounter this season, take a look at the top three betting tips from the BAN vs AUS match prediction.

BAN vs AUS Player Bets:

Like any other international matches, Dafabet has been proactive in offering ample markets from the player betting section. Take a look at the top three player betting tips picked for you from the BAN vs AUS match prediction.

Matthew Wade To Score Over 22.5 Runs

The wicket-keeper opener for Australia, with 10 years of experience under his belt is our first batsman in line. Matthew Wade has played 43 T20Is in his career and scored 613 runs from them. This is an average of 21.13. He has been in rare form recently as he scored 26, 5, 23, 0 and 33 against West Indies in the five-match T20I series. He has not played a T20I match against Bangladesh in his career so far. He has had a good season in the current calendar year, being among the top two T20I run scorers for his team.

The previous numbers might not convince you entirely but the ones I am going to mention definitely will. He has played 14 innings over the last one year and stacked 345 runs from them at an average of 24.64. In Season 2020/21, he scored 244 runs from 8 games with an average of 30.50. Matthew Wade has played 11 games as the opener for his team and scored 268 runs from the games, at an average of 24.36. Dafabet.com is offering odds of 1.87 for Matthew Wade to score over 22.5 runs in the BAN vs AUS match prediction.

Mitchell Marsh To Score Over 23.5 Runs

Mitchell Marsh was Australia's most consistent batsman during the T20I series against West Indies. He was the top run scorer among batsmen with 219 (30, 75, 9, 54 & 51) runs from 5 innings at a fancy average of 43.80. The Australian all-rounder has played 25 T20I matches for his team since his debut in 2011. He averages 27.20 from these 25 innings with 544 runs under his belt. He has only played one match against Bangladesh so far. Mitchell Marsh averages 30.60 from the 19 away matches he has played till date.

He has 459 runs to his name from the 19 away innings played. He classifies as a hard-hitting all-rounder who bats in the middle-order. On the back of some impressive performances, Marsh is considered to be a key player for the Aussie squad. The middle-order batsman generally comes out to bat in the 3rd or 6th position in the batting line up. He has scored 655 and 700 runs respectively at these positions at an average of 43.80 and 34.25. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Mitchell Marsh to score over 23.5 runs in the BAN vs AUS match prediction.

Mohammad Naim To Score Over 19.5 Runs

Lastly, we have a Bangladesh batsman who more or less holds the same record as Soumya Sarkar. The left-handed opener made an impressive contribution in the first leg of the T20I against Zimbabwe. He went on to remain unbeaten at 63 off 51 balls as he opened the series for his team alongside his counterpart, Sarkar. However, the Bangladeshi batter made no relevant contribution in the second and third T20I as he was knocked out at 5 and 3 runs. He has primarily come out to bat in the second position and racked 219 runs from the 6 innings at an average of 34.33.

But looking at Naims performance over the last one year, he has served as an asset to his team. He is the second highest T20I run scorer among the Bangladesh batsmen with 155 runs to his name from the 6 innings played at an average of 31.00. The opening batter has not played a single match against the Aussies in his career and this will be his first encounter against them. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Mohammad Naib to score over 19.5 runs in the BAN vs AUS 1st T20I match prediction.
