2. Opening with Litton Das and Shanto

Bangladesh have been unclear about their opening combination in T20Is. With Tamim Iqbal already from T20Is, and Soumya Sarkar in the reserves, there are limited options for the Bangla Tigers. The likes of Najmul Hossain Shanto, Sabbir Rahman and Mehidy have been tried as the openers, but have failed to provide a platform for the middle order right from the outset.

Although Mehidy has solid technique, he cannot provide a flourish to the team in the powerplay overs, Rahman and Shanto have been quite inconsistent in the last few matches. As a result, the team has failed to recover lost ground, as their bowling unit has failed to put brakes on the opposition.

In their latest outing against New Zealand, management went ahead with Litton Das, who is a regular opener in the ODIs, along with Shanto. Although the pair could only add 23 runs for the first wicket, they possess the capability to be a stable duo, and certainly, it may turn out to be a step in the right direction.
