NZ vs NED T20I 1 of 1 Predictions & Betting Tips

New Zealand will welcome Netherlands to play a one-off T20I along with a three match ODI series which is a part of Netherlands tour of NZ 2022. The match is scheduled to be played at the McLean Park in Napier on March 25, Friday. I have gathered three of the top betting tips from the NZ vs NED match prediction ahead of the match day for you.

The Black Caps will take a break from red ball cricket and will now turn their focus into limited overs cricket for a while. Veteran Kiwi batsman Ross Taylor will make his final appearance in international cricket after announcing his retirement earlier this year. Michael Bracewell and wicket-keeper Dane Cleaver have earned their maiden international call-up after their phenomenal performances in Super Smash caught the eye of the selectors. Logan Van Beek who has won a couple of titles along with Wellington Firebirds in Super Smash will also be a part of the Netherlands team that will face NZ. The Kiwis last played a T20I game against India back in November last year after the conclusion of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. The Tim Southee led NZ were whitewashed by Rohit Sharma led team India in the three match T20I series away from home. Netherlands on the other hand last played a 20 overs game against Sri Lanka in the ICC T20 World Cup at UAE. As we gear up for this exciting clash, let us have a look at the top betting tips from the NZ vs NED match prediction.

Michael Bracewell To Score Impeccably

Left Handed wicket-keeper batsman Michael Bracewell is my first pick from the NZ vs NED match prediction. The 31-year-old earned his maiden international call-up and became the fourth one from his family to play for the national side. Bracewell has won a couple of titles with Wellington Firebirds and was the leading run-getter for them in the previous season. Bracewell is a superb striker of the ball and is also an occasional right arm off spinner. Prior to the start of the series, Bracewell led NZ XI to play three 50-over matches against the visitors. NZ XI picked up successive victories in the first two games while the third match was abandoned. In the first match, Bracewell scored a blistering 81 run knock off 72 deliveries which consisted of 6 fours and 3 sixes. In the following game, he remained unbeaten for his 127 off 108 and took his team through victory. Although he will be making his international debut, the 31-year-old is an vastly experienced cricketer and has featured in close to 101 T20 matches to score 2171 runs at an average of 31.92. He has struck a hundred and has 12 fifties to his name. In the 2021/22 edition of Super Smash, Bracewell hammered 478 runs from 10 matches at an average of 79.66. The 31-year-old is in a rich form at the moment and therefore we have backed him to score impeccably in the one-off T20I on Friday. Keep an eye out for Michael Bracewell on Pari Match as it offers you the best of odds from the NZ vs NED match prediction.

Martin Guptill To Fire At The Top

The 35-year-old right-handed batsman from Auckland is one of the hardest hitters New Zealand has ever produced. Guptill is a limited overs specialist and a key feature of his batting is the rhythm of strokeplay. Guptill holds an experience of 112 T20I matches wherein he has racked up close to 3300 runs at an scintillating average of 32.66. He has struck two hundreds and has close to 20 fifties to his name. At home, his average jumps to 37.17 and he has struck 1933 runs from 57 matches. In the three game T20I series against India, Guptill was the leading run-getter for his side and was second highest overall. He hammered 152 runs from three matches at an average of 50.66. He posted scores of 51, 31, 70 in the three matches. In the ICC T20 World Cup at UAE, the opener mustered 208 runs from 7 games at an average of 29.71. His scores read - 28, 4, 28, 18, 93, 20, 17 in the mega event. Guptill will be a vital cog for his team in the forthcoming match as the hosts will miss 12 players including their skipper Kane Williamson for the IPL. Therefore, we have backed Martin Guptill to notch runs for his side in the only T20 against Netherlands. Head over to Pari Match and place your bet on him whenever the odds are available on the website.

NZ vs NED Team Bet:

Let us have a look at the top team bet from the NZ vs NED match prediction.

New Zealand To Post 26.5 Runs Before 1st Dismissal

The ICC Test Champions reached the finals of the ICC T20 World Cup but unfortunately suffered a defeat against Australia. The Kiwis were brilliant throughout the season as they finished at the second spot in their group but went on to defeat England in the semis. Their openers contributed a lot too but fell one step short of lifting the title. Veteran Kiwi batter Martin Guptill and Daryl Mitchell have been the regular pair for the Black Caps. The duo averaged close to 26.14 runs per match for the first wicket in the ICC T20 World Cup. This sums up to 183 runs from seven games. They posted scores of 28, 26, 35, 4, 30, 24, 36 before the dismissal of the first wicket. Just after the conclusion of the mega event, NZ engaged in a three match T20I series against India wherein their openers accumulated 70 runs in total from three matches for the first wicket. Their scores read - 21, 48, 1 in that series against India. However, New Zealand will miss the services of Daryl Mitchell who will be busy in the Indian Premier League. Skipper Tom Latham is likely to open the innings for New Zealand in the only T20I along with vastly experienced cricketer Martin Guptill. Therefore, we expect NZ to post a respectful total on the board before the 1st dismissal against a weak Netherlands side who failed to make it to the Super 12 stage last season. Head over to Pari Match and place your bet on NZ at the best of odds from the NZ vs NED match prediction.
