Bangladesh vs Papua New Guinea Match Prediction

Bangladesh vs Papua New Guinea Team Previews

Bangladesh

Bangladesh made a number of adjustments to its batting order, switched a few players out of the playing eleven, and yet managed to beat Oman. It wasn’t a very compelling performance, but it didn’t have to be. A win was critical for Bangladesh to calm its nerves, and we believe it will be a much better team going forward. Don’t expect too many differences from the last match. Mohammad Naim made an impression at the top of the pecking order and should maintain his spot. Look for Total Runs betting markets and wager on Mohammad Naim to go ‘Over’ his par score. Shakib Al Hasan is another guy who might offer some betting value. He should continue to contribute with both runs and wickets, thus he is a solid choice for Man of the Match. We feel Bangladesh’s batting lineup was well-intentioned when they attempted to take the game to Oman in the previous encounter. The same tactic will be used against PNG, and we believe it will pay off once more. With the ball, Bangladesh’s spinners will be crucial. With a lot of left-handed batsmen in the PNG lineup, Mahedi Hasan is our top choice for the Top Bowler Bangladesh betting market.

Papua New Guinea

PNG may have qualified for the first stage of the T20 World Cup, but winning even a single match in the Super-12 stage would be challenging. This will be PNG’s final match in the T20 World Cup 2021. They have done well for a squad that is still relatively new to cricket, but there is no doubt that they have a long way to go. PNG was defeated against Oman by 10 wickets, and while it came close against Scotland, a win was never in the cards. PNG’s batting is poor and lacks the depth to continue attacking for the length of the match. Its bowling is also fairly average, and it must rely on the opposition team making mistakes rather than pushing them. The batters to watch are Jatinder Singh, Aqib Illyas, and Khurram Nawaz. There isn’t a lot of talent in the batting order, but virtually everyone appears to be able to swing a bat and contribute when required. We advise keeping away from PNG betting markets since the players are simply not matured enough to produce consistently.

Bangladesh News

• Bangladesh’s bowling unit is very good with players like Mustafizur in prime form. Bangladesh is filled with both seasoned and inexperienced t20 players.

• Bangladesh were in genuine danger of being knocked out of the T20 World Cup 2021 after trailing to Scotland midway into the Oman reply until they turned the screw. 

• Mohammad Naim impressed on his comeback to the side in place of Soumya Sharkar, and the same Bangladesh XI is expected to play in this encounter.

Papua New Guinea News

• Assad Vala is the lone warrior for PNG and the others would need to step up

• Chad Soper, a fast-medium bowler, came in for Damien Ravu against Scotland and bowled admirably. 

• There are no injuries in the group, but this last group encounter might be an opportunity to put untested players on the field.

• Charles Amini is another consistent performer for their national side
