If Bangladesh bowl first:
Open with spinners and go with full spin attack ,clean up the lower order using spin or pace contain them within 200 or 220
Tamim batted really well yesterday, he should be doing samething that try to stick around till the end, other batsmen should give Bangladesh blazing start and reach the target within 35 ~40 overs, thereby can offset the negative Run Rate.

^ Now that's just silly. Opening with spinners have never worked, especially not for us, and that kind of underestimation will only lead to a loss. Ireland may find our spinners tough in our conditions, but there's no way it'll work if the ball barely spins, which will be the case if we open with spinners. 3 pacers and Shuvo ahead of either Naeem or Mahmudullah IMO.
