Tim Southee is the Man of the Match!
With this win, New Zealand move up to the fifth place in the ICC rankings. Bangladesh will return home without registering a single victory down under. They were beaten black and blue in the limited overs format, but came back strongly in the Tests. In both the matches, they were brilliant in the first innings, but two batting collapses in the second essay led to their downfall. Is it lack of experience at this level? Time will answer. But, one thing is of sure. Bangladesh are here to stay at this level and they're no pushovers. New Zealand's next assignment is the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy against their arch-rivals and Bangladesh will be touring India for a single Test. Join us then. That's all we have for now. This is Abhinand Raghavendran bidding goodbye on behalf of Abhishek Chaudhary and Naga. Cheers and goodbye!
Tim Southee is the Man of the Match
Phew! Bangladesh have been slaughtered by the hosts. A thumping win for the Kiwis. Chasing a very low target of 109, they got off to a solid and quick start. The move to send Colin de Grandhomme at No. 3 ensured that the match ended today. He remained unbeaten with a strike rate of 220, towering four maximums in his 15-ball stint at the crease. A monumental choke from Bangladesh : from a 29-run lead to a nine wicket loss in one day.
Hossain Shanto to C de Grandhomme, SIX, it's high and it is handsome. Colin de Grandhomme finishes it off in style. He dances down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it over long-on to seal the series. New Zealand win the match by 9 wickets!
Hossain Shanto to C de Grandhomme, SIX, just four required now! A might hit from Colin de Grandhomme. A tossed up delivery, de Grandhomme gets low and slogs it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum
Hossain Shanto to Latham, 1 run, slightly short, Latham rocks back and works it through the mid-wicket region
Hossain Shanto to Latham, no run, an off-break, turned to mid-wicket
Nazmul Hossain Shanto, right-arm fast, comes into the attack
