The third and deciding T20I of the series was played at Mirpur on May 2nd. With the first match won by the hosts and the second one abandoned, New Zealand needed to win this match to not go away with a series loss.
New Zealand got off to a decent start in terms of their run rate, but Shoriful Islam struck thrice in the powerplay to leave the visitors stuttering at 25/3. Bevon Jacobs then took charge with an unbeaten 62 from just 31 balls to ensure that New Zealand won the match, and the series was shared 1-1.
