After today's match, only change i want to make is dropping Shakib down at no.4/5. Because if Shakib bats at 3 and make quick blazing 50 and gets out then it won't matter as later batsmen may not be able to capitalize the start (like today's match).

Shakib can play any position. Be it first 6 overs, in the middle or at the end whereas other batsmen like Mushy, Riyad struggle to score freely. Moreover, we are so Shakib centric that once Shakib gets out, we tend to shake.

So, my strategy would be promoting either Mushy or Riyad ahead of Shakib. So that Mushy/Riyad can play when fielding restriction is on and score some runs. And then Shakib will come and play his natural game. If any of those earlier batsmen can stay longer to support Shakib, that will be bonus.

My XI

1. Tamim
2. Ashraful
3. Mushy
4. Shakib
5. Riyad
6. Zia/Nasir
7. Nasir/Zia
8. Mashrafe
9. Shafiul
10. Razzaq
11. E.Sunny
