9:57pm

Both sets of players observe a minute's silence for former umpire Nadir Shah, who died earlier today.

9:46pm

There's clouds overhead - which in theory should help the fast bowlers. 

That won't stop an all-out spin assault from Bangladesh first up though...

9:33pm

Blundell's injury means that Cole McConchie will bat at No.7, while the trio of Jacob Duffy, Scott Kuggeleijn and Ben Sears return:

Some good news for Kiwi fans though, Tom Latham has won the toss and chosen to bat first!

9:25pm

Good evening! The first bit of news from the middle is that Tom Blundell has been ruled out of tonight's series finale.

He picked up a quad injury during game four, and will sit out of game five as a result.

Final teams and the toss to come shortly.

Kia ora, good evening and welcome to Newshub's live updates of the fifth and final T20 international between New Zealand and Bangladesh from Mirpur Stadium, Dhaka.

After Wednesday's six wicket defeat at the same venue, the Blackcaps can only look to restore a bit of pride in Friday's encounter, with the series already gone.

But despite the trophy already sitting in Bangladesh hands, there are positives that could be taken from victory to end the series tonight.

A win would see the Blackcaps depart Bangladesh for their next assignment - a limited overs tour of Pakistan later this month - with a bit of momentum. 

What's more, a 3-2 series scoreline would make for better reading than the same 4-1 defeat inflicted on Australia by Bangladesh earlier this year.

The dead rubber scenario could see both sides make changes to their playing XIs, while Blackcaps wicket-keeper batsman Tom Blundell is also under an injury cloud with a quad issue.

TAB Odds: Blackcaps $2.40, Bangladesh $1.51

Teams (predicted):

NZ: 1-Finn Allen, 2-Rachin Ravindra, 3-Tom Latham (c & wk), 4-Will Young, 5-Colin de Grandhomme, 6-Henry Nicholls, 7-Tom Blundell, 8-Cole McConchie, 9-Doug Bracewell, 10-Ajaz Patel, 11-Matt Henry.

Bangladesh: 1-Mohammad Naim, 2-Liton Das, 3-Shakib Al Hasan, 4-Mushfiqur Rahim, 5-Mahmudullah (c), 6-Afif Hossain, 7-Nurul Hasan (wk), 8-Shamim Hossain, 9-Shoriful Islam, 10-Taskin Ahmed, 11-Aminul Islam.
