For the 3rd ODI, we need to push Shabbir and Nasir up the order. In the first match Nasir only faced one delivery while Shabbir played only 7. In the second both didn't get any balls to bat. It is great to see Tamim performing and since the opening pair has been under the scanner and in question lets leave it intact but experiment a bit with Shabbir and Nasir by moving them up in the order. While it will give them some batting practice, more importantly it will give them some confidence when they are eventually needed in close run chases and some much needed batting practice.

It's great that the middle order has been the rock of Bangladeshi cricket since the zimbabwe series, much of the credit really goes to Mushfique who has been one of the best batsmen in Asia during the last 2 years. But if we really want to beat the likes of South Africa who are coming soon in 3 months, we need all of them to be in form, with confidence and fire.

Hope the team management pushes Shabbir at Number 3, Nasir at Number 4/5. These are proper batsmen so there is not much experiment anyways. Shabbir also scored a century (a spellblinding one too) at number 3.
