FRA vs NOR Match 2 Predictions & Betting Tips

The stage is set for France to play its first-ever full T20 international when it takes on Norway in the second match of the Germany T20 Tri-series at Krefeld on Thursday. Even though the French have a well-balanced squad, Norway are expected to hold a slight edge. Keep reading to know the best Germany T20I tri-series betting tips for FRA vs NOR match prediction.

The European nations of France and Norway will lock horns at the Bayer Uerdingen Cricket Ground in Germany for a round-robin match of the ongoing tri-series. The two have never played each other before in any ICC recognized event and therefore will be keen to get off on a winning note.

Regarded by many to have invented the game itself, France have had to wait nearly two years to make its debut in T20Is after ICC granted all members full T20I status. They are usually known as active affiliate member nations in the international circuit. However, the pandemic deprived them of any playing opportunities. Now that they have finally arrived on the scene, their first outing may turn out to be a bitter experience against favourites Norway. For what promises to be a closely fought matchup, the following are the top betting tips for FRA vs NOR match prediction.

FRA vs NOR Team Bet:

Considering the nature of the tournament, very few websites will be offering bets on the Germany T20 Tri-series. Nevertheless, the winner's bet is the best option available from the FRA vs NOR match prediction.

Norway expected to have an edge against newcomers

France’s last international cricket game came way back in 2018 when they participated in the ICC World Twenty20 Europe Region Qualifier A. In a considerably average playing field, the team managed to secure two victories from five matches and ended third in the six-team league. However, their weaknesses were apparent and the quality of games reflected they had a long way to go still.

In all their matches, the team failed to breach the mark of 120 runs and consistently struggled with the bat. Their average score from the five fixtures comes to a relatively low 104 runs, considering the quality of opponents.

However, the team does possess some lethal weapons in its artillery. In Noman Amjad, they have a bonafide U-19 star with great all-around abilities. He had ended the 2018 qualifiers with a decent haul of 5 wickets and 64 runs despite being just 14 years old at the time. Since he has only gained experience and maturity in the domestic circuit and will be keen to make his mark for the senior team. Veteran Mobashar Hussain Ashraf is another key player with the bowl, having grabbed a team-high seven scalps through the course of the tournament.

However, Norway is a much more well-drilled unit that have had the opportunity to play together against some good opposition in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe Region Final 2019. Their captain Raza Iqbal has proven to be a steady contributor with the bat and ball, accumulating 87 runs and having five wickets to his name for the national team. Office Prithvi Bhart also holds the potential to unlock the French batting with his clever bowling in the middle overs.

Norway will also have the advantage of shaking off their rustiness and gaining much-needed match fitness when they clash with Germany earlier in the day. Considering the inexperience of their opposition, the Norwegians should thus be able to eke out a win and are my pick for the battle. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.70 on Norway coming away with the victory.
