Bangladesh banked on a string of partnerships and two fine knocks by
Shamsur Rahman and Naeem Islam, as they swept the ODI series 3-0 after
chasing 309 in the final over in Fatullah. The four-wicket win matched
the 2010 clean sweep at home, which New Zealand lost 4-0. This was also
Bangladesh's second successful chase of a target of 300 or above in ODIs.

Bangladesh handed New Zealand a second consecutive whitewash winning the final match by four wickets on Sunday.
The hosts surpassed
New Zealand’s 307 losing six wickets with four balls to spare, which was also
the second highest successful chase for Bangladesh.
The Kiwis had also
been mauled by the Tigers 4-0 in a five-ODI series back in 2010.
There has been a marked difference in Bangladesh's confidence and body
language over the last four weeks. The batsmen have stood up to the
challenge of setting up totals and now they have successfully chased a
300-plus total. This win alone should give them more reason to think of
themselves as genuine match-winners in one-day cricket.
