The series have already done it's primary business with Kiwis winning the must win game of Bangladesh at Nelson, but the secondary business is yet at the Stakes in the dead rubber as Bangladesh want to replicate their form with crossing the line barrier after their mediocre efforts reflecting old version.
On the other hand the hosts gained much needed confidence that they are struggled to find in this year and that came with some fightback. Although they look for more complete package of action from the squad.
And that made to bring in jeetan Patel in to the squad considering the slow nature of surface being produced at Nelson, although their batting lost a bits in the previous game but Broom century came at time the team needed as well as to him.
While it is not the absence of Mustafizur Rahaman that hurted the visitors but batsmen couldn't get the job done chasing a moderate total where a uncharacteristic run-out turned into an dramatic Collapse and fall of wickets against run of play of Williamson added extra baggage to handle.
Meanwhile the pitch at Nelson produced it's trademark flavour of slowness and with the same Venue for the dead rubber it is not going to change trueness of the pitch on Saturday either.
At the end the final ODI seems more prominent irrespective of the stats even for Kiwis with Bangladesh not up to what expected of them as earlier of the Series and with Bangladesh taken for a trolling with bat or ball in one aspect or the other it's time for them to come good with both to show they who they are against settling hots. Although there may be many aspects to look into but the contest lies on the batting units to come on top at the year end.
