In the third and fourth match they tried with Mominul and captain Mehedi Hasan Miraz but Miraz was once again replaced by Evin Lewis in the fifth match. 

This time, they had Miraz and Shahriar Nafees opening the innings. 

It did not change their fortunes as the opening stand lasted for 2.3 overs and scored just two.
