I have assorted three of the best betting tips for you from the SA vs BAN Day 4 head-to-head encounter.

What a day of Test match it was! So many things happened on the ‘moving day’ of the Test but it is fair to say that the hosts are ahead of the tourists in the game. The on-field umpires called the day after Simon Harmer got the big wicket of Tamim Iqbal who was caught at first slip by Wiaan Mulder. It was Keshav Maharaj who kicked off the final innings in some fashion by picking up the wicket of opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy in the third ball. In the following over, Najmul Hossain Shanto fell victim to Maharaj too. Bangladesh are reeling at 27 for three at stumps on Day 3. Earlier in the day, the Proteas declared the innings for 176 runs after Wiaan Mulder became the sixth batter to fall. Taijul Islam picked up three in the second innings which took his wicket tally to 9 in the end of the Test. Bangladesh will need another 386 runs to level the series while the Proteas require seven wickets to whitewash the visitors. As we gear up for the penultimate day of the Test, let us have a closer look at the top betting tips from the SA vs BAN Day 4 match prediction.

SA vs BAN Day 4 Team Bet:

Mentioned below is our top team bet from the SA vs BAN Day 4 head-to-head encounter.

Bangladesh To Score Over 148.5 Runs In 2nd Innings

Bangladesh struggled against spin in the 1st innings and we saw that once again in the final session of the day. Spinners Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer bagged all the three wickets that have fallen so far. Simon Harmer took the last one as Tamim Iqbal edged a ball which was caught at first slip by Wiaan Mulder. The umpires called the day off as soon as the wicket fell. Bangladesh have only managed to score 27 runs so far and have lost three wickets. They need another 386 runs if they wish to level the series. Although the game is tilted towards the hosts, the tourists still have a lot of firepower still left to come. In the last five matches, the Mominul Haque led side scored runs at an average of 187 per innings. If we have a look at the second innings only, Bangladesh have scored a total of 735 runs in the last five games which takes their average to 183.75 which is well above our target. They have posted scores of 53, 278, 42/2, 157 and 205 in the second innings of the last five games. This signifies that they have scored above our target 80% times. Skipper Mominul Haque is still at the crease with Liton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, Yasir Ali and a lot more to come to bat tomorrow. Therefore, we have sided with Bangladesh to score over 148.5 runs in the second innings. Pari Match has offered odds of 1.87 in Bangladesh’s favour from the SA vs BAN Day 4 match prediction.

SA vs BAN Day 4 Player Bets:

Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim are my top two player betting tips from the SA vs BAN Day 4 match prediction. Hurry up and place your bet on them and expect a hefty payback.

Mominul Haque To Score Over 16.5 Runs

The 30-year-old skipper, Mominul Haque is an exciting left-handed batsman who scored a fifty on his Test debut against Sri Lanka. The southpaw kicked off his international career in style by becoming the fastest Bangladeshi player to reach 1000 Test runs. Mominul is a phantastic red-ball player but his form has not sided with him lately. The southpaw holds an experience of 50 Tests, wherein he has amassed 3503 runs at an average of 40.26 which is fairly above our average, making it a perfect betting tip to place all your bucks in. The southpaw has featured in six Tests against the Proteas and has averaged close to 17 from them. Prior to the start of this series, South Africa engaged in a two match Test series against New Zealand wherein he hammered 138 runs at an average of 46.00. He posted scores of 37, 0, 13*, 88 in that series which signifies that he has scored above our target 75% times. The only thing that might refrain you from placing your bucks is the dreadful run of the form the southpaw is going through. However, this might be the perfect time to return back to form when the team needs him the most. Mominul remained unbeaten at 5 overnight and we expect him to score over 16.5 runs tomorrow. Head over to Pari Match and place your bet on the same at odds of 1.55 from the SA vs BAN Day 4 match prediction.

Mushfiqur Rahim To Score Massively

We have now reached my ultimate bet today from the SA vs BAN Day 4 head-to-head encounter. Rahim debuted against England at the Lords at the age of 16 and became the youngest ever player to do so. Since then, he has grown into one of the most consistent batsmen and has racked up 4880 runs in the longest format of the game. He has batted in 146 innings so far which takes his average to 36.41. The wicket-keeper batsman has hammered 235 runs so far in the ongoing cycle of ICC Test Championship at an average of 30 from five matches. In the first innings of the ongoing match he scored 51 off 136 in an innings which was adorned with 8 fours. In the two match Test series against Pakistan at home, the 34-year-old struck 160 runs at an average of about 40.00. He has featured in 10 Tests against the Proteas to pile up 389 runs from them at an average of about 23. He has posted scores of 51, 7, 26, 7, 16, 44, 65 in his last five Tests. His team is struggling at the moment after losing three for 27 and will require another 386 runs in order to seal the victory. Therefore, we have backed Mushfiqur Rahim to notch runs for his side in the final innings of the Test. Head over to Pari Match and place your bet on him whenever the odds are made available on the website from the SA vs BAN Day 4 match prediction.
