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.

OUT! CAUGHT! Young takes a fine catch now. A length ball around middle and leg, Mosaddek makes room and looks to go big over covers. He though ends up slicing it. Young keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a fine catch towards cover-point. No hat-trick for Southee but he gets his third. Just 1 more wicket needed.

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.

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.

Todd Astle To Mahedi Hasan OUT!
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 Afif Hossain OUT!
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.

OUT! Knocks him over this time. Astle has the second one in the over. Lovely flatter ball around off, it is a bit short. Shanto is a bit too early as he tries to work it on the leg side. He misses and then hears the woodwork gets shattered behind. Two wickets and just 6 off the over. 105 needed in 6 overs.

Todd Astle To Najmul Hossain Shanto
FOUR! It was a good stop from Sodhi near the fence but the benefit of the doubt has been given to the batsman there. A tossed up ball outside off, Afif looks to hit it over the off side but ends up slicing it. He manages to hit it just over point. The ball races towards the fence. Sodhi from short third man gives it a chase and flicks the ball back in. Or has he? The umpire wants the TV umpire to have a check. They check multiple angles and replays and deem it as a boundary.
Afif Hossain walks out to bat!

Todd Astle To Mohammad Naim OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Fine catch from Chapman. Astle has a success in his first over.

The ball goes down to long on where Chapman misjudges it a bit but manages to dive forward and hold onto it.

The ball goes into the mitts of the keeper. Conway though is not sure if that has gone straight in his gloves. The umpires get together again. This time the soft signal is not out. And it will remain not out as replays show that the ball bounced before it went into the gloves.
Another umpire referral for a catch! The soft signal this time is NOT OUT!

Tim Southee To Soumya Sarkar OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! The fingers are right under the ball. So, Southee strikes in his first over and dangerous Sarkar has been dismissed. Great piece of work from the Kiwi skipper. A length ball around off and middle, it is once again the slower one. Sarkar looks to flick but ends up getting an inside edge on the pad. The ball lobs in front and Southee is quick to get to the ball and snaffle. They appeal. The umpires get together and take it upstairs. The soft signal is out. Replays confirm the inside edge. And they also confirm that Southee has taken the catch inches above the turf.
Is that a catch? Southee is claiming it and the umpires have taken it upstairs. SOFT SIGNAL IS OUT!
