7.48pm That's all we have for you from this game. Hope you enjoyed our coverage as much we did bringing it to you. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu signing off for Vishal Dikshit. Take care and cheers.
Tom Latham, NZ captain and Player of the Match: Yeah, it was a great game to take it down to the last over. I thought we learnt from the last game and to take it down to the last over with a chance of winning was outstanding. Yeah, I think a better surface makes for a better game and that was the case. Rachin bowled well and did a really good job. We probably weren't there as we would have liked, but I thought 130-140 was a competitive score. My role is to try to bat through the innings and other guys to be slightly more explosive...to take it to the last over I was really proud of the guys to change it around.
Mahmudullah, Bangladesh captain and Player of the Match: Mustafiz held his nerve well and we went really close. It [beamer] was unusual, but I had quite a bit of confidence in Mustafizur. Mahedi has been bowling really well with the new ball and the wicket got better. We are happy to continue with this [winning] streak.
7.30pm Bangladesh survive Latham scare to go 2-0 up in the five-match T20I series. Mustafizur blew hold and cold in the last over, with 19 to defend, but has done the job for Bangladesh. The fifty opening stand between Liton and Naim and Mahmudullah's cameo were also central to the hosts' success this evening. Do stick with us for the post-match presentation.
ashik: "Many people were found complaining about the pitch and asking for a 140/150-ish pitch. Here you go!"
Arzoo: "Salute to Tom Latham for playing such a wonderful innings even though he couldn't take the team home. But he had to fight against the slow track, against wickets falling at other end, against home side's favorable conditions and expertise!"
Maharajah Ponna: "Dropped catches of Liton Das and Mahmudullah cost the match for NZ"
Jez: "I know it's rarely the done thing in modern cricket, but surely Latham should get man of the match in a losing effort tonight"
Sabbir: "Hats off to Latham for taking his team deep and close to the target"
Reshad : "All these unusual events were indicating that NZ will pull this off! Great game at the end! "

Saifuddin to Latham, no run
nice and full outside off, Latham initially looked to ramp it to fine leg, but changes his mind at the last moment and searches for the scoop to third man. Doesn't lay bat on ball in the end
18.3
2
Saifuddin to Latham, 2 runs
very full and veering down the leg side, whipped away to deep square leg as Latham pushes for another double. This is very tight The throw from Mahedi is nice and flat from the deep. Nurul gathers it and knocks the bails off to catch Latham short. Okay, hang on, replays indicate Nurul had dislodged the bails even before collecting the ball More drama in Mirpur as Latham survives

Mustafizur to Latham, FOUR runs
slower cutter from Mustafizur, but he overpitches it outside off. Latham waits for it to arrive, then lines it up and hoicks it away between deep midwicket and wide long-on. What a way to bring up a maiden T20I fifty

Mustafizur to McConchie, 1 run
short and into the pitch, cramps McConchie for room, hits the forearm, I think, and rolls away to the covers
Aryann: "Think NZ have left it a bit to late and a little too much for Latham to do. No support for him from the other end"
17.1
•
Mustafizur to McConchie, no run
whippy cutter from Mustafizur, dips under McConchie's swinging bat and carries through to Nurul. Mustafizur thinks he has the batter caught behind as Bangladesh press for a review. I don't think there was any bat involved and Ultra Edge confirms it
Reshad : "It all comes down to how Latham handles fizz's overs. "
