18:50 local time: Play has been officially called off. New Zealand win by 102 runs (D/L method). They wrap up the series and lead by 2-0. Bangladesh were never really in the chase as the New Zealand bowlers were on top. Mills was aggressive and did well to pick up four wickets and Vettori chipped in with couple of wickets. Fulton picks up the Man-of-the-Match for his 83 runs. Thanks for being with us, this is Binoy George signing off. Please join us again for the third and final ODI on December 31, until then it is bye from all of us.
