Commentary

So, that will be it before the World Cup warm-ups for both these teams. New Zealand of course have been brilliant in this series, winning in Bangladesh after 2008! Bangladesh, who have just announced their World Cup squad, were disappointing, especially with the bat. But, all eyes now shift to India for the mega event. It was an absolute pleasure bringing you the coverage from this innings at Mirpur. This is the pair of Pradeep and Bidipto taking your leave for now but make sure to catch us for the final ODI before the World Cup tomorrow as India play Australia in Rajkot. And, keep following Sportskeeda!

Lockie Ferguson [New Zealand captain]: I think Bangladesh batted well, the runs kept coming for them. But we picked up wickets at regular intervals and pegged them back. Thrilled at how we've gone this week, hope the continue this form in the next few weeks and do well in the World Cup as a team.

Henry Nicholls has been adjudged the Player of the Series! Here is what he has to say.

Henry Nicholls: It is definitely pretty pleasing to bat and do well in these conditions, there aren't easy wickets to bat on but we've done well as a unit to get the job done. The bowlers helped us with the kind of start they gave and then the batting from Will Young was superb! Always special performing in these conditions and contributing in winning causes!

Will Young is the Player of the Match! Here's what he has to say: At the back of our mind, the World Cup is there but we wanted to do well coming into Bangladesh, it's first time after 2008 we've won a series here. This group plays a lot together, couple of years ago too, we gel on the field nicely too. Conditions are a lot like India, we're going to take the confidence and do well in the World Cup.

Najmul Hossain Shanto [Bangladesh captain]: I think our batters didn't go big, everyone got starts and we didn't go on to make it big. Not too much worried about our batting,if we bat long, it should solve the problem and we have the skillset, I should've gone on to bat longer in this game. Needed two big partnerships, we missed that and we should come back stronger. Everyone have prepared well, we just need to start well and we're confident enough.

New Zealand win the match by 7 wickets with 15 overs and 1 ball to spare and win the series 2-0!

Will Young 70 (80) | Adam Milne - 4/34 (6.3)
Najmul Hossain Shanto 76 (84) | Shoriful Islam - 2/32 (6)

172 was not a difficult target to get to but pitches in Bangladesh make even those totals defendable. And the pitch in Mirpur did indeed offer both seam movement and turn to the Bangladesh bowlers but the Blackcaps were able to maintain firm control over the proceedings and get to the finish line without much drama!

Both Finn Allen and Will Young batted well to get the innings off to a strong start. They scored 49 runs for the 1st wicket before Allen pulled one from over his right shoulder and got caught at deep square-leg. The very next delivery saw debutant Dean Foxcroft get castled by Shoriful Islam as the hosts, via their lanky left-arm pacer, were back in the contest, big time!

But the 82-run stand between Henry Nicholls and Young steadied the ship to almost finish the job for New Zealand. Young brought up his second half-century of the series. It was a pity though that he could not stay not out to see his team home. Bangladesh's find for the series, left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed, cleaned him up with a peach of a delivery that turned square.

But then, some intent from Tom Blundell and Nicholls, coupled with some shoddy fielding from Bangladesh helped the Lockie Ferguson-led side win their first ODI series in Bangladesh since 2008. Nicholls managed to reach his fifty, incidentally!

34.5 Mahmudullah to Tom Blundell, MISSED STUMPING! FOUR! NEW ZEALAND TAKE THE SERIES 2-0! Has been a clinical all-round performance from the visitors this and they thump Bangladesh to win the series. Blundell skips down the track to whip it across the line, but that turned sharply and beats the inside edge and Mushfiqur was blind sided and misses it, races down to fine-leg to seal the game.

34.4 Mahmudullah to Tom Blundell, drops it short on the off-stump, Blundell camps back and punched it straight back to the bowler.

34.3 Mahmudullah to Tom Blundell, good length, spinning back in on the off-stump. Blundell presses to defend but misses, raps on the pad.

That will be ODI fifty number 14 for Henry Nicholls! Scores are level.

34.2 Mahmudullah to Henry Nicholls, FIFTY FOR NICHOLLS! Full on the off-stump. Nicholls leans and drilled it down to mid-on and brings up the fifty with a single. Scores are level now!

34.1 Mahmudullah to Henry Nicholls, FOUR MORE! Short on the off-stump, Nicholls went back and gets on top of the bounce and smashes it past mid-wicket and finds the ropes.

New Zealand are only one hit away from finishing the match and the series! Nicholls still requires 5 more runs to get to 50. He will be on strike.

33.6 Nasum Ahmed to Tom Blundell, FOUR MORE! Drops it short on the stumps, Blundell rocks back and hammered it past mid-wicket, through and finds the ropes in a flash.

33.5 Nasum Ahmed to Tom Blundell, angled the short delivery on the off-stump, Blundell camps back and blocks.

33.4 Nasum Ahmed to Henry Nicholls, goes full on the off-stump, Nicholls drilled it down the ground to long-off for one.

33.3 Nasum Ahmed to Tom Blundell, good length on the off-stump, Blundell works it down to long-on for a single.

33.2 Nasum Ahmed to Tom Blundell, FOUR MORE! Short on the off-stump, Blundell on the backfoot heaves it to deep mid-wicket, runs away for another boundary.

That is poor from Nasum! He should have done better to get the run out in at the non-striker's end.
