Kia ora and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the third and final T20 international between the Blackcaps and Bangladesh at Bay Oval.

After the second match at the same venue was washed out after just 11 overs, fingers will be crossed for a much-improved weather on New Year's Eve, although current forecasts predict more rain later in the day.

That night not be such a bad outcome for Bangladesh. After their triumph in the opener, they're on course to seal their first T20 series victory on NZ soil.

The best the Blackcaps can hope for is to salvage a draw with a morale-boosting win.
