The Bangladeshi players can hold their head high. They lost the first two ODIs but showed terrific character post that. They won their first ODI on New Zealand soil and then won their first T20I game in New Zealand as well. They also fought till the end in the final T20I but couldn't get across the line due to a lacklustre batting performance. New Zealand, on the other hand, were not at their best in this series. They would be pleased though as they have finished 2023 on a high with a win.
Shanto and Santner have been presented with the trophy as the series ended level on 1-1. Big smiles on their faces
Najmul Hossain Shanto: Bowlers did a great job but the batsmen didn’t get the runs today. The batters got starts but didn’t take it deep.
Shoriful Islam has been awarded the Man of the Series award for his brilliant performance with the ball.
Mitchell Santner | Player of the Match: It was nice to get the win. I was changing my pace and got good assistance from the pitch, the seamers were brilliant in the powerplay.
