Default Who should bat at number 3 for the World Cup?

This position seems to have a number of contenders now that one of the top order will most probably get dropped once Shakib is back.

We have the options-

Mahmudullah - Played here in the last world cup, made some memorable hundreds. Could be put here again if Sabbir is the finisher now in the side along with Saifuddin.

Shakib- In the T20s he has played in this position more often , can we afford to lose him early if he bats at 3 though. His quick run getting ability might also be needed in end overs.

Sabbir- Seems to have undergone a rebirth, however let's see how he does in the next series. He is more considered the final over hitter in the side. Played in this position before.

Mithun - He is having success in the middle order , will it be wise to move him into this position? Struggled in the one match they moved him here

Other more radical choices that could be considered-
Miraz or Kayes (incase of injuries)
Mushfiq
