NZL vs BGD 1st WT20I match prediction 2 Dec 2022

NZ-W vs BAN-W 1st T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

New Zealand Women will be locking horns with Bangladesh Women in the first T20I of the three match T20I series which is a part of Bangladesh Women tour of New Zealand 2022. The match will be played at Hagley Oval, Christchurch on December 2. Meanwhile, I have taken the opportunity to assort three of the best money making betting tips for you from the NZ-W vs BAN-W head-to-head contest.

It has been a while since the teams played a fixture of the format against each other. They met last in 2020 where NZ-W snatched the victory by 17 runs. As far as the squad is concerned, the kiwis will have an upperhand in terms of batting and bowling. With that in mind, I have come up with the best money making betting tips from the NZ-W vs BAN head-to-head encounter.

NZ-W vs BAN-W Player Bet:

I have picked Suzie Bates to score high as the best player betting tip from the NZ-W vs BAN-W head-to-head contest. Have a look.

Suzie Bates to score over 22.5 runs

A batting allrounder who plays in the top order, Bates made her international debut in 2006 against India, and has been smashing records ever since. Her T20I debut came next year against SA-W. Bates is among the first women from New Zealand able to consider herself a full-time cricketer, having been awarded one of the inaugural female contracts by New Zealand Cricket in April 2013. Bates has played 133 WT20I career games and managed to score 3613 runs at an average of 29.37. It is in line with her current form as she averaged 37.75 in the Women’s Big Bash League playing for the Heats. She scored 269 runs in 11 games. She averaged 14.33 in 2021 but improved upon her numbers this year averaging at 26.90 in 2022 so far. She has a good track record playing at home conditions where she averages at 31.67. In her last five WT20Is, she managed to post the scores of 5, 54, 2, 8 and 13 runs. Although she bundled out cheaply in her last series, her batting proficiency cannot be ignored. That said, you should pick the best odds of 1.83 offered by 1XBET for Suzie Bates to score over 22.5 runs in the NZ-W vs BAN-W head-to-head contest for earning a profitable return.

NZ-W vs BAN-W Team Bets:

Let us have a look at the top team betting tips from the NZ-W vs BAN-W head-to-head contest.

New Zealand Women to score under 16.5 fours

New Zealand Women played a WT20I series against West Indies Women before coming into this series. They won the series by 3-1. The bowling attack worked in favour of NZ-W, although there were only a few remarkable batting performances. In the series, NZ-W struck 10, 7, 6, 5 and 8 boundaries in those five T20Is. Suzie Bates struck 8 fours whereas LS Down & Amelia Kerr got 7 boundaries to their name in the series. There were no other batters to have contributed to their boundary counts. Also, considering the wide kiwi boundaries, the team is likely to score under 16.5 fours in the game. The sides last clashed in 2020 in the Women’s T20 World Cup. NZ-W posted 8 fours in the game. Rachel Priest bagged 3 fours in the game who is unlikely to play in the upcoming NZ-W vs BAN-W clash. Having that said, you should capitalise on this betting tip as 1XBET offers the odds of 1.725 for NZ-W to score under 16.5 fours in the fixture.

Bangladesh Women to score under 9.5 fours

Bangladesh Women are not having the best time in world cricket. They were knocked out in the Women’s Asia Cup pretty early after the group games as they failed to qualify for the play-offs due to constant losses in their campaign. Their batting order was inconsistent and has been struggling with form. Moreover, going against the kiwi bowlers will be an extremely challenging task for the batters. The Women’s Asia Cup took place in Sylhet, Bangladesh that has smaller boundaries where BAN-W struck 12, 6, 12, 10 and 1 fours in their campaign. Although this overcomes this betting target, considering the batting conditions at the venue, it should have been much more than that. Unfortunately Christchurch will not give that opportunity to the BAN-W batters with the wider boundaries and a fierce pace attack. The last time the sides met in 2020, BAN-W posted 7 fours in the game. The team lacks depth in their batting order and by virtue should earn you a lot from this betting tip. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.91 for BAN-W to score under 9.5 fours in the NZ-W vs BAN-W head-to-head contest and you should pick it.

My Picks:

Suzie Bates to score over 22.5 runs @ 1.83 (1XBET)

New Zealand Women to score under 16.5 fours @ 1.725 (1XBET)

Bangladesh Women to score under 9.5 fours @ 1.91 (1XBET)
