Now it is time for Mahmudullah Riyad to lift the coveted trophy and with that the celebrations begin! Congratulations to the Tigers on the series win. And with that, our coverage for this series comes to an end. It was a pleasure bringing you all the live updates. Do keep a tab on OneCricket and Cricket Exchange's coverage of the CPL. This is Anurag Dasgupta, signing off alongside my co-commentators, Akshay Bhide and Anurag Singh.
Mahmudullah Riyad | Bangladesh captain:
"Would've liked to win today but I think New Zealand batted really well, we didn't chase well but happy to win the series. I think bowlers did quite well, but didn't finish well enough in the end.
Spinners bowled really well. Shoriful got two early wickets and gave us the momentum. With the chase, we didn't start well enough.

Afif and I tried to build a partnership but their bowlers executed really well. Last three series we've played some good cricket to win all of them, it's a big boost. Hopefully when we get to the World Cup, we'll regroup and start winning games there."
Tom Latham and Nasum Ahmed have been adjudged the joint Player of the Series.
Tom Latham | Player of the Match:
"Great to finish this leg of the tour on a high. The way we were able to piece it all together was pleasing. We put up close to a perfect performance, took all the learnings from the previous games.
This was a good surface, platform set by the openers meant we were able to take our tine in the middle and cash in at the back end. We managed to finish well.
Our bowlers have been fantastic all series, nice we're able to finish on a high and can hopefully take some momentum into the Pakistan series. Nice to spend time at the crease, haven't played a lot of T20 cricket, to fight it out in these conditions was nice."

Time for the presentation ceremony.
DG: Chasing a stiff target of 162, Bangladesh were off to a horror start. They failed to read the situation of the game and threw away wickets at will. At one stage, BD were tottering at 46 for 4 and looked down and out against a resurgent Kiwi side.
But then the duo of Mahmudullah and Afif Hossain joined hands and started the repair work. Hossain in particular looked in great touch and decided to be the aggressor. He started targeting the spinners and gave a ray of hope to the Bangladeshi dugout.
However, the wicket of Mahmudullah changed the course of the match once again. The visitors tighten the screws and even the high-flying Hossain failed to mustered big blows towards the fag end of the innings and remained unbeaten on 49. Bangladesh looked lacklustre and as a result never recovered from an early jolt.
Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony.

DG: And with that, New Zealand have won this game by 27 runs. A comprehensive victory for the Kiwis who were the better side and took full advantage of the conditions. But Bangladesh fans won't be too disheartened. They have won this competitive series 3-2.

19.5 J Duffy to N Ahmed
0 Nasum makes room and Duffy cleverly bowls a slower delivery outside off to which Nasum lets that go.

19.3 J Duffy to A Hossain
2 Fuller delivery on the pads, Afif whips it in the gap between deep square leg and deep mid wicket and collects a couple.

2-23(3.0)
18.6 S Kuggeleijn to T Ahmed
W Cleaned him up. Kuggeleijn has the last laugh as Taskin is knocked over. Kuggeleijn bowls an off-cutter on the stumps, Taskin goes for a hoick across the line but misses and the ball hits the timber.
18.5 S Kuggeleijn to T Ahmed
4 FOUR!!! Kuggeleijn bowls it in the slot on the stumps, Taskin moves leg side and hits it straight back over the bowler's head for another boundary.
18.4 S Kuggeleijn to A Hossain
1 Fuller in length on the stumps, Afif makes room and drives it to the left of mid off. Strike rotated.
