NZ vs BAN 1st T20I Match Prediction and Cricket Betting Tips

New Zealand and Bangladesh will meet again to kick start the first of the three matches in the T20I series.The match will be held at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Sunday, March 28. I have picked the best NZ vs BAN for a fun sunday ahead of the game.

Earlier New Zealand delivered an all-round performance in the third ODI against Bangladesh to secure a massive 164-run victory. The Black caps won the toss and opted to bat seeking a series clean sweep in the third one-day international against Bangladesh in Wellington. Chasing a target of 319-runs, Bangladesh got off to a poor start.

Matt Henry’s bowling was brilliant and he dismissed Tamim Iqbal for 1 run in just the third over. Followed by Soumya Sarkar (1) in the next over and Liton Das at 21 runs in the seventh over. Opting to bat first, New Zealand witnessed a decent start with Martin Guptill and Henry Nicholls scoring regular boundaries. The return of veteran batsman Ross Taylor was the icing on the cake. However with a three-series match lined up for the Next couple of days will decide if the Bangladeshis will be able to bounce back. Let's keep an eye out for the same. Meanwhile, take a look at the top three NZ vs BAN betting tips assorted for you.

NZ vs BAN Team Bets

With no viable options offered by the oddsmakers with regards to player bets, we shall be focusing this article on the team bets lined up for us. Here are the top three NZ vs BAN team bets offered.

Team with Highest Score At First Dismissal- Bangladesh

Starting off my first bet in favour of the visitor and is the highest betting odd of the lot. New Zealand and Bangladesh last played a T20I series in the 2016-17 three-match series where New Zealand had won all the three matches. Looking at the 7 head-to-head encounters in the past, Bangladesh has not won a single match against New Zealand so far.

Let’s look at the opening partnership between the teams. Martin Guptill and Tim Seifert who open for New Zealand have gathered a total of 139 runs from their opening partnership in the last five innings played against their opponents. This averages to 27.8 runs per match from the opening partnership. Liton Das and Mohammad Naim or Tamim Iqbal have been opening for Bangladesh in the T20I series. On the contrary, they have put together a total of 257 runs from their partnership. Bangladesh averages at 51.4 runs per match from the past 5 t20I innings they have played. Certainly, even though New Zealand has won all the matches till date, Bangladesh have out performed their opponent in this one area. Sportsbet.io is offering high betting odds of 2.14 for Bangladesh to be the team with the highest score at first dismissal.

Top Batter Total To Score over 67.5 Runs

Hands down this is one of the safest and easy bets to put your money on. As mentioned earlier, New Zealand has conquered all the matches played against Bangladesh. New Zealand happens to have some of the best batsmen in the squad. To name a few, Devon Conway , Glenn Phillip and Tim Seifert are the top run scorers for the team. In the past five innings that New Zealand has played. Glenn Phillip scored the highest of 108 runs. Followed by Tim Seifert at 84 runs and Devon Conway at 63 runs. Martin Guptill is the highest run-scorer for New Zealand. He has gathered 2839 runs from 95 T20I innings played and averages at 32.26. New Zealand has a total of 360 runs from their highest scores in five innings which averages to 72 runs as top runs.

The visitors on the other end have the highest scores to be hit by a batsman in any match is Mohammad Naim who scored 83 runs followed by Tamim Iqbal at 65 runs and Liton Das with 60 runs. This is considering the five innings played in the past. Mahmudullah who has come out to bat in 79 T20I innings and scored 1475 runs at an average of 24.18. Even when the opponents last played a T20I series in 2016. The highest runs hit by a batsmen were Corey J Anderson with 94 runs. This was followed by Colin Munro with 101 runs and Kane Williamson in the finale with 73* runs. This clearly justifies my claim on backing the top batter in this tip. Sportsbet.io has offered betting odds of 1.85 for the top batter total to be over 67.5 runs in the NZ vs BAN match.
