After being asked to bat first, New Zealand struggled in batting as Bangla bowlers, Shoriful Islam and Tanzim Hasan Sakib bamboozled the Kiwi top-order and eventually Blackcaps were restricted to 98 runs. Islam, Sakib and Soumya Sarkar took three wickets each. Bangladesh achieved the target in 15.1 overs with the loss of one wicket of Amanul Haque. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto completed his fifty while chasing the target. Instead of losing the match, Blackcaps clinch the three-match ODI series with 2-1
