5.35pm After stuttering through the middle overs, New Zealand have hit 46 in the last five overs to boost their total to 128 for 5. At the toss, Mahmudullah said he would be happy if his bowlers could keep NZ to 130-140. They've done that job although this pitch seemed better to bat on than the ones used for the first two T20Is. We will be back shortly for Bangladesh's chase. They need 129 to secure the series.
Having started to walk back, Blundell puts his gloves and returns to tackle the last ball
Sakib: "I think Saifuddin learn lot of things from Fizz.. Specially his cutters... Their cutters look like quite same... This will good for death bowling in WCT20.."
Short fine leg whisked to the boundary now. Deep square leg comes in

M MAK: "Thats why Shakib is so successful in the international arena. He never stopped learning and he never stopped delivering new thing from his armory. For the first time I am seeing someone from Bangladesh trying chinaman thing and that too at the age of 34. Bravo…"
