my team:

Tamim
Imrul
Junaed
Sakib
Ashraful
Rakibul
Rahim
Naeem
Razzak
Mortaza
Rasel

an unchanged XI for obvious reasons:

1. those who failed got some experience and 'feel' of South African team and if i drop any one of them and bring a fresh new face it will destroy team momentum and demoralize the player, since i feel Imrul, Junaed, Rakibul, Rahim are very close to being dropped.

2. Shahadat, Mahbubul, Mehrab Jr. wasn't tried earlier, no point in bringing them in now because often the case trying one player for one ODI only is never a good strategy in the long run

3. this pitch should suit the likes of Rasel, Razzak, Naeem, Shakib and Mortaza so i say bowl first then bat for any chance of an 'upset'.

for furthur inspiration see this video:

Robin/Shahadat should come in for Imrul/Raqibul.

Raqibul shouldn't be touring in the first place. He should have been playing the NCL games instead. He doesn't have match practice. He didnt play any match since he got injured in Australia back in August. What can you expect from a player who hasn't played any games for almost 3 months?

on the first ODI i would have tried this combo

Tamim
Imrul
Junaed
Naeem
Sakib
Ashraful
Rahim
Razzak
Mortaza
Shahadat/Rasel
Mahbubul Alam Robin/Rasel

Rasel still my fav player but he is useful in low turning pitches; on bouncy pitches, Shahadat, Robin could do magic

oh well....this XI wasn't tried!

i agree with muradnyc about Rokibul...but now that he is already in i think he should be fine in 3rd ODI

Or we need to restrict South africa to below 250 if they bat first...

I think that's our best chance, chasing a low score. It will be good to see rajib back in action, i just hope he bowls well...
