His 50 vs PAK in the Asia Cup was off 47 deliveries and had he batted the remaining 5 overs it would have been faster.

It's fair to say that Mominul does deserves more chances at #3 in ODIs however i don't think for the long run that Mominul will be able to score runs consistently in ODIs. I also think Shamsur deserves more chances in ODIs as he averages 32 with a strike rate of 77 which is better than Mominul's performances in ODIs. However if I was the selector i would drop Tamim and have Shamsur/Anamul opening with Mominul at no. 3.
