Let us have a look at our top team betting tip from the NZ-W vs BAN-W match prediction.

New Zealand Women to score over 26.5 runs before 1st dismissal

The opening duo of Suzie Bates & Sophie Devine set the bars up so high that no visitors batter could reach the double figure mark while chasing down the total of 165. The duo provided a powerful start to NZ-W’s innings and stitched a 84 run partnership for the first wicket. Skipper Sophie Devine scored 45 off 34 balls while Suzie Bates scored 41 off 33. Both players are coming off after having a fantastic season in the WBBL. Suzie Bates scored 318 runs from 14 innings at an average of about 26.50 while Sophie Devine accumulated 182 runs from 13 innings. In the last five matches, New Zealand Women aggregated a total of 172 runs before the fall of the first wicket. This takes their average to a whooping 34.40 runs for the first fall. This number is certainly above our target, thus making it a strong and safe betting tip for this game. The two sides have locked horns against each other twice in the past wherein NZ-W posted totals of 84 & 36 runs for the first wicket. Therefore, it would be fair to place your bet on NZ-W to score over 26 runs for the first wicket in this game. Our affiliate partner 1XBET has offered odds of 1.832 in NZ-W’s favour from the NZ-W vs BAN-W head-to-head encounter.

NZ-W vs BAN-W Player Bets:

Mentioned below are our top two player betting tips from the NZ-W vs BAN-W head-to-head contest. Take a look!

Suzie Bates to score over 24.5 runs

A batting all-rounder 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. The reason being her batting contributions to the national team over the years. Bates has played 137 WT20I career games and managed to score 3654 runs at an average of 29.46. It is in line with her current form as she averaged close to 26.50 in the recently concluded season of WBBL representing SS-W. She averaged 14.33 in 2021 but improved upon her numbers this year averaging at 28.18 in the 12 games she played so far. In the first T20I match of the series, Bates scored 41 off 33 balls and stitched an 84 run opening stand which helped NZ-W post a total of 164 on the board. While batting in home conditions, Bates averages at 31.96. She has scored 1023 runs from 35 innings. Her scores in the last five matches read 41, 10, 27, 6 & 41 runs. This entails a 60% efficiency of S Bates to post a total above our target in this game. That said, you should pick the odds of 1.8 offered by 1XBET for Suzie Bates to score over 24 runs in the NZ-W vs BAN-W head-to-head contest for earning a profitable return.

Fargana Hoque to score under 10.5 runs

Up next we have the 29-year-old batter, Fargana Hoque from Bangladesh Women’s side to my list today from the NZ-W vs BAN-W head-to-head contest. In the last game vs NZ-W, Faragan was the only one who could smash a boundary but she was dismissed for just 5 runs. She fell victim to Jensen’s bowling after facing four deliveries. Fargana holds an experience of about 80 WT20I matches wherein she has played 1214 runs at an average of about 19.26. She has struck just a single hundred and three fifties in her WT20I career so far. Although this looks decent, her recent run of form says otherwise. Fargana is averaging almost 24.00 this year in WT20Is but these runs mostly came against low ranked teams such as Malaysia, Thailand, Ireland etc. She has played against NZ-W twice in her career and posted scores of 5 & 0. Fargana posted scores of 5, 6, 30, 10 & 1 runs in her last five matches. This entails a 80% efficiency of F Hoque to score under 10.5 runs in this game. Therefore, we have backed Fargana Hoque to score under 10.5 runs in this game. To capitalise on this, grab the odds of 1.8 offered by 1XBET in F Hoque’s favour from the NZ-W vs BAN-W match prediction.
