Presentations coming up...

The Fizz destroyed the Kiwi lineup - The star for the hosts was undoubtedly Mustafizur Rahman. He ripped through the New Zealand batters with a magnificent spell of 5/43. Nahid Rana picked 2 wickets and the skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz took two wickets as well. Shoriful Islam picked one wicket as Bangladesh secured a dominant victory and won the series by 2-1.

Kiwis struggled in the chase - Chasing 266, New Zealand just could not find their rhythm. They completely failed to build the big partnerships required to chase down the target. Nick Kelly fought hard at the top of the order with a solid 59, but the rest of the batters faltered. Bangladesh skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz was spot on with his bowling changes, keeping the pressure firmly on the visitors.

Shanto and Litton rescued the innings - Earlier in the day, New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl. Bangladesh were in early trouble at 32/3, but Najmul Hossain Shanto and Litton Das led a brilliant fightback. Shanto smashed a superb 105, while Litton added a classy 76. Their massive 160-run stand helped the hosts post a fighting total of 265/8, despite some excellent bowling from New Zealand. Will O'Rourke was the pick of the bowlers for New Zealand as he picked 3 wickets.

Bangladesh have done it! Bangladesh win the third and final ODI by 55 runs, sealing the series 2-1 with a thumping victory here at Chattogram. It was a dominant overall performance from the hosts to completely outclass the Kiwis and lift the trophy. This is the first ODI series win for Bangladesh against New Zealand in their last 5 ODI series.
