commentary

Right! That's all from this game and the entire tour of Bangladesh to New Zealand. The hosts first thumped them 3-0 in the ODIs and now they have repeated the same in the T20Is. A clinical show from the Kiwis. The visitors have got a lot to ponder ahead of the T20 World Cup in India later this year. For now, we bid you goodbye from here. Thanks for your company. Cheers and take care!

Tim Southee, the New Zealand skipper, says it is very nice to finish on a good note, it has been a good summer and they have played good cricket throughout. Adds Tod Astle has been sitting out for a while but he has done brilliantly well in this game and his two overs just shows the hard work he has been putting in. Thanks the fans for their support and appreciates them to hang around here today. Ends by saying they will sit back and enjoy what has been a good summer and then look forward to the World Test Championship.

Liton Das, the Bangladeshi skipper chats now. Das says that they did not play good cricket. Especially batting and bowling. Tells that they have learned a lot from the tour. Says that it has been difficult for them in these bouncy tracks. Adds when they will return back next time, he hopes they will do better.

MAN OF THE SERIES, Glenn Phillips, says he is very comfortable with where his game is, he likes coming in the middle order now and he has enjoyed his bowling too and he is getting confident about it. States the team has been brilliant, they love playing with each other and the atmosphere is superb. Ends by saying he is enjoying his cricket.

Finn Allen is named Player of the Match. He says that batting with Guptill was really nice and it was good fun. Tells that he was really excited and adds Guptill kept him calm throughout the innings. Says he was just looking at it as another game of cricket and wanted to stick to basics. Mentions that the environment is really good in the dressing room. Wants to keep learning from the players in the team.

For the Kiwis, Astle impressed with a four-fer. Southee was excellent too with the new ball. It was a complete performance from the Kiwis! Another clinical performance from them.

Chasing a target in which they needed to go at 14 per over, Bangladesh just kept losing wickets. They had half the side back in the hut in no time and losing wickets while chasing such a big total just makes the task impossible and they fell well short.

A comfortable win for the hosts and they have inflicted the whitewash! To be honest, it was Allen's innings and the opening stand for New Zealand which took the game away from the visitors.

Glenn Phillips to Nasum Ahmed, OUT! CAUGHT! That will do it. Tossed up and outside off, Nasum makes room and looks to go big over long off. Hits it off the toe end and it goes straight to Southee at mid off. He makes no mistake. New Zealand win by 65 runs and take the T20I series 3-0.

Tim Southee to Mosaddek Hossain, Nicely done from Mosaddek as he denies the hat-trick. It was nicely bowled by Southee. It was the knuckle ball and it was around the off stump. Mosaddek went back and hit it towards sweeper cover for two.

Tim Southee to bowl the penultimate over of the game. He is on a hat-trick.

Lockie Ferguson to Rubel Hossain, Another lovely yorker! Rubel cannot dig it out. To his luck, this is not straight, so he survives.

Rubel Hossain is in now.

Lockie Ferguson to Taskin Ahmed, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Another one bites the dust. Once again full and straight. This one is a slower one though from Ferguson. Taskin cannot keep it out as he is a bit early. The off pole gets a beating this time. Just too good from Lockie here.

Ferguson is back!

Adam Milne to Shoriful Islam, OUT! TIMBER! You miss, it hit. Too quick for the batsman. Full, fast and straight. Shoriful makes room and looks to hit it on the off side but misses. And the zing bails light up. Excellent comeback from Milne.

Adam Milne to Shoriful Islam, SIX! This goes all the way. That is some shot from Shoriful. Good length ball around off, Islam slams it over long on. Failed to time it as well as he would've liked but it goes all the way.

Todd Astle to Mahedi Hasan, OUT! CAUHGT! Another one bites the dust. The weheels are coming off. New Zealand are in total control here. A tossed up ball, it is slower through the air. Mahedi gets down and looks to power it over deep mid-wicket. However, he holes out in the deep as he fails to time it properly. A simple chance for Phillips. No. 6 is back in the hut for Bangladesh. Once again Astle has got 2 in the over.

Todd Astle to Mahedi Hasan, Flat and on middle and leg, Mahedi looks to flick but misses to get high on the pad.

Todd Astle to Afif Hossain, OUT! STUMPED! This time Conway gets it right as Afif's foot is on the line. Lovely work from Conway behind the sticks. Top bowling from Astle too as he gets his third. He tosses it up and makes it to spin away just a touch. Afif has a wild swing at it he misses. Conway collects and breaks the stumps. He appeals and celebrates at the same time. The TV umpire has been called for again. Replays roll in and they show that Afif has nothing behind the line.

One more stumping appeal and this time Conway feels he has got his man. It is taken upstairs.

Glenn Phillips to Afif Hossain, NOT OUT! Afif is in but by just! This is fired outside off. Hossain swings but misses. Conway takes the bail off after a bit an appeals. It is taken upstairs. Replays show that Afif is in.

Another one? Stumping appeal has been referred upstairs now. Is that back foot inside the crease? Or it is on the line? Looks really close.
