New Zealand beat Bangladesh in the fifth and final T20 International by 27 runs for a consolation win but host Bangladesh won the series 3-2. New Zealand scored 161/5 in 20 overs with captain Tom Latham scoring 50 and opener Finn Allen making 41.

The 58-run opening stand between Rachin Ravindra (17) and Allen laid the foundation for a competitive New Zealand total. Left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam took two wickets but was expensive as he conceded 48 runs.
