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! "
It boils down to NZ needing 6 off the last ball
faruck: "what was that .. from The FIZZ??"
Free-hit coming up. NZ need 8 off 2 balls
NightLight: "Spare a thought for Ben Sears. One over of bowling, and (hopefully) not batting on his debut"
NZ need 14 off 3 balls
