BAN vs ENG Betting Tips & Who Will Win The 1st T20I Of Bangladesh vs England

BAN vs ENG Betting Tips: The series opener of the enthralling three-match T20I series between Bangladesh and England is set to occur this Thursday. The renowned Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury of Chattogram will host the match, commencing at 2:30 PM Indian Time.

Chattogram’s Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium hosted a recently-concluded ODI fixture, which was part of the exact tour. The venue featured a balanced track in the game and we expect surface conditions at Chattogram to remain similar for Thursday’s fixture as well. 

The team winning the toss is likely to opt to bat first as the match will be played under sunlight. The conditions are bound to get challenging for the batters with the progression of the game. Pin your hopes on England captain Jos Buttler to make the right decision at the toss.

After the recent exit of Alex Hales; captain Jos Buttler and Philip Salt are likely to open for England in the upcoming T20I series. Both the wicketkeeper-batters are rated highly in white-ball Cricket and are set to cause some serious damage to Bangladesh’s bowling attack. 

The conditions at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium of Chattogram have been pretty hostile for the batters. There is minimal assistance for batters throughout the game and they will be certainly challenged once again. We expect a minimum of 13 dismissals in Thursday’s electrifying encounter.

Even though England appears to be the team with a stronger lineup overall, Bangladesh has a marginal edge when it comes to the bowling department. Bangladesh features a formidable bowling unit, which is well-versed with the conditions at Chattogram with skipper Shakib Al Hasan leading the chart.

Dawid Malan remained England’s pick of the batters in the recently-concluded ODI series in Bangladesh. Malan has notable experience of conditions in Bangladesh due to his stint with Comilla in Bangladesh Premier League. The southpaw will be a key batter for visitors in the approaching T20I series.

Sam Curran was named the player of the tournament in the T20 World Cup last year (November) following a dream outing with the ball. Bowling in tough phases for the team, Curran emerged as England’s bowling spearhead in absence of Jofra Archer. The southpaw would further eye on continuing his purple patch with the ball.

To everyone’s surprise, Bangladesh and England have squared off only on one occasion in T20 Internationals. England managed to come out in the exact game, which occurred back in the T20 World Cup 2021. Jos Buttler’s England appears stronger than Bangladesh on paper and we back them to register a dominating triumph in the series opener on Thursday.
