Not every young player can come with a bang. In top of that, before he could settle down at #3, we are switching him to opener couple of times already ( once in WC and now in this series) to to address team needs.

Its one thing to wait on one player before giving him chance, its another thing to bring a young player and then throwing at him different roles and then drop him from the team. That's how we screw a young player.

Now that the team is winning, we can afford to stick with him longer. Hopefully by that time he will show some sign of improvement as the opener.

Think about the possibility with the "old Tamim" back and a young player like SS opening the innings...we can expect 70+ run in first PP more often... even with SS's 17 we ended up 83/1 in 10 overs. That makes the rest of the players life so easy... with that kind of platform (even 1 ro 2 wicket down), our middle order can always target a total of 300+ something. And like a ripple effect, our bowlers job suddenly becomes easy.

Like it or not... we need to stick with SS a little bit longer to let him grow.

This batting order is slowly becoming strong and explosive.
