I think when you take the power play earlier there are two ways to go about it.

1. You have to have a couple of strong clean hitters, who are going to basically use their power to clear the ropes or at least the fielders. e.g. Kieron Pollard, MS Dhoni, Afridi etc

2. The other option is to use players who use their game intelligence by being creative and finding gaps as well as manipulating the fielding restrictions using traditional orthodox shots, ie they will hit less risky sixes but more safer fours, threes, twos etc. e.g. Eoin Morgan, Kevin Pietersen, Angelo Mathews.

Unfortunately it seem that Bangladesh don't have any of these types of players or aren't picking them in the team.
