I thinking exposing Mushy too early isnt the best idea. He should either bat at no. 3. or bat down the order. But since Shakib is at #3 then he should be the guy to finish the innings off with Ziaur.
1. Tamim Iqbal
2. Mohammad Ashraful
3. Shakib Al Hasan
4. Nasir Hossain
5. Mahmudullah
6. Mushfiqur Rahim
7. Ziaur Rahman
Since the middle order is weak Mushfiq and Ziaur can work well together during the death overs to get the job done. Id rather want Mushfiq and Ziaur to finish the innings then to see Nasir/Ziaur or Riyad/Ziaur to get the job done.

4 is perfect for a guy who can play a steady innings and can also hit some big ones under pressure, in both odi's and t20's.

I think we have done enough experiments with the batting order and the players and the coach is comfortable where they are.. Mushfique/Riad playing top the order was required to allow Shaqib to play up. We were always short of that REAL #3,4 and tried out Shahrier Nafees, Junaid Siddique, Zahirul Islam. I personally wouldve wanted someone like Mushfique to bat at 6 to assist the tail-enders and finish the game but honestly dont think there will be any changes for th T20 series..

Just bring Nasir in top order, see Stuart Law had settled the team in one way and after he's gone, we are watching a different line up

I think we should stick to him at 4. I don't know why our players are always in such a rush to hit bowlers our of the park within the first couple overs they face. Mushy has shown before he can hit it out of the park, once he is settled in well into his game. It's one thing if you come and there's only 4-5 overs left and you need to just go for it. Today he had so much time in his hand. Granted we did need to score 10 an over, but considering there was still 15+ overs left and we just lost 2 of our main batsman he should have focused on picking up singles/doubles and the odd boundary. If he played the shot that got him later on in his innings he probably could have timed it much better and clear the rope.

both he and his deputy lost form together and should work hard to claim that important position, both of them are getting out in the middle and our middle order all of a sudden is really bad

Shak should come at 4 and Mushy at 5. That's how it should be. Nasir at 6 for now and make Riyad bat at 3 and take some responsibility.
