See, we have a prob with top order or opening to be precise. Pushing up everyone will affect all the guys until Nasir(7) and spoil many others mind set and game, if not all.
Kayes is opening Nasir is not.... Pushing SS up will spoil his game too...so even if Kayes fails SS will come and do what he did last time. But pushing him to open will put him under unnecessary pressure, which he never was ready for.
Nasir isn't tested yet in these conditions and you can expect anything, even worse than Imrul and you can't say anything to him, as this will be his first outing. There is no guarantee that Nasir will perform.
Kayes is more experienced and you already gave him a chance to bat, so he will feel more confident and obligated to perform in next match.
Even a 80 ball 50 opening from him will be massive for us. That will allow TI to play without pressure and give a base for the others to play freely.
We can't upset the team batting in such a deep rooted manner to make a mess of the winning outfit. If you can make Nasir to open, then take a chance with least damage...but I'm not sure he would like to do that, neither he can do that any better than Kayes.
