That concludes our coverage of this game. We shall be back for the next one day after tomorrow. Until then take care. Bye from all of us down here

Neesham (Man of the Match): Pleasing to contribute to the team. Definitely it is good ahead of the Champions Trophy. The conditions will be similar in England so it was fun (the win today).

Latham: I think the way we chased this one, we got the partnerships going. We did not quite have a big partnership but managed to get there, that was a pleasing thing. Our fielding was a bit down. That is something we can improve going forward. It is always crucial when you take wickets during the death. Pleased that Hamish Bennett came back and did so well.

Mashrafe Mortaza. I think we could have done a little better, especially me. In the batting we were 20 runs short. Soumya got some runs. Fielding was pretty good. Up front you need to take some wickets when you are defending 250.

18:28 Local Time, 17:28 GMT, 22:58 IST: New Zealand register their second win in the tournament. Clinical performance from the Kiwis who fetched the momentum during the slog overs of the Bangladeshi innings. Might have lost a few wickets during the middle of the chase but the partnership between Broom and Neesham made sure that there was no room for further hiccups. Bangladesh, though, can keep their heads high for putting a decent show. Had their moments but were unable to seal things.

47.3

Mortaza to Munro, 1 run, tucked off the legs to deep backward square leg for a single. New Zealand win by 4 wickets

Mortaza to Munro, FOUR, short ball. Munro backs away and slaps over extra cover. Long-off cannot get around in time

47.1

Mortaza to Munro, 2 runs, the umpire has taken the blow. Umpire Alan Neill could not take himself away from the line of this cracking drive from Munro. Signals he is fine so back to business

46.6

Mustafizur to Santner, FOUR, is deceived by the slower ball there, does well to chip it over the man at mid-off. Runs away to the fence

46.5

Mustafizur to Munro, 1 run, very full ball. Munro clips to deep mid-wicket for a single

46.4

4

Mustafizur to Munro, FOUR, full toss and that will do. Munro swats it to the deep mid-wicket fence

46.3

Mustafizur to Munro, no run, down the leg-side. Not given as wide which makes the caught behind appeal an interesting one. Was there some pad?

46.2

Mustafizur to Santner, 1 run, off the front foot, driven to mid-off

46.1

Mustafizur to Santner, no run, length ball on off. Santner defends off the back foot

45.6

Mortaza to Neesham, out Caught by Mosaddek Hossain!! Neesham's desire to finish things early has cost him his wicket there, goes for the pick up shot and does well to time it. Though there is a man waiting at deep mid-wicket to foil his plans. Neesham c Mosaddek Hossain b Mortaza 52(48) [4s-5 6s-1]

Mortaza to Neesham, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

45.5

Mortaza to Munro, 1 run, short ball and Munro is not in full control of the cut shot, edges it but luckily, for him, the ball drops in front of the man at short third

45.4

Mortaza to Munro, no run, short of a good length ball. Munro punches back to Mortaza
