Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Hemant Brar
That's all from our side for this game. See you soon.
Mahmudullah: The bowlers did a great job once again to keep New Zealand to a low total. All the bowlers, Nasum, Mahedi, Mustafizur, bowled well. The batters tried their best. We just needed a good partnership in the middle and Naim and I tried that. Naim batted well and then Afif was good. We tried to build partnerships and take the game deep. The credit for the series win goes to the team management and boys. There one more opportunity and hopefully, we will regroup together and try to win the game.
Nasum Ahmed is the Player of the Match. He says, in Bengali and I try to translate, that he is happy with the series win. There was no pressure from the captain. I tried to give as few runs as possible. The wicket was turning, my only focus was to land the ball on one spot.
Tom Latham: We were slightly under par. We were looking at 100-110 but credit to Bangladesh they batted. After a couple of early wicket, they had it under control. The way Mahmudullah finished, credit to them. I am pleased the way we could take it to the last over. Youngy played a good innings to take us to a competitive score. We lost quick wickets and it was hard to keep the momentum going. The way we have been able to adjust slightly on different surfaces, a young group who hasn't played much international cricket, and a lot of us haven't played here, we hope to put a near-perfect performance in the fifth game.
Time for the presentation ceremony.
Mukul Hasan: "I just want to congratulate Mahmudullah, he deserves it but doesn't always really get the credit he deserves! "
Jawad: "T20Is were supposed to be full entertainment, these are like breakups."
7.15pm Another series win for Bangladesh, this is their first against New Zealand in this format. New Zealand fought hard despite soring only 93 but an off day for Cole McConchie meant they couldn't strike at regular intervals. Ajaz Patel still gave them an opportunity when he had Mahmudullah stranded halfway down the track but Latham missed the stumping. That was the only mistake Mahmudullah made as he steered Bangladesh home with a calculated knock.
Just two required. McConchie has the ball. Mahmudullah on strike
The physio is out to check for a concussion. Afif is okay and will continue
Just five needed from 11 balls now
Aiden Markram, Mustafizur Rahman and Tom Latham also move up rankings
With better options available, the 35-year-old is likely to be dropped for New Zealand's immediate assignments
The captain looks back on his, and his side's, recent success and talks about his plans for and expectations from the World Cup
"A lot of these guys haven't played in the subcontinent before, so being exposed to a different brand of cricket is good for them."
Bangladesh had left out several first-choice picks and looked a bit rusty as they lost by 27 runs
