Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh Captain): "The bowlers bowled really well and very proud of how everyone chipped in on the field. We played very well in the first match,  this game we had our opportunities, we couldn't take them. There are lots of positives from this series and the boys are ready for the series against New Zealand."

Player of the Match: Glenn Phillips.   

Glenn Phillips (Player of the Match): "Yes, I think at the end of the day that 8 runs mattered a lot. We pride ourselves of fighting till the end and glad we did that. The spinners did well and Tim with the ball. Bangladesh bowlers did well to come out on top and then to pull it back to chase 137 was a great effort. The intent was there and I stuck to my strengths and Mitchell Santner played well. Yes, credit to Santner as he batted really well with great maturity out there. Credit to him and credit to all the members of the team for this win."  

Player of the series: Taijul Islam. 

Taijul Islam (Player of the series): "We played well, but if we had won this series, then it would have been even better. Overall, we gave our hundred percent, but we could have done better. I am happy, but I would have been more happy had I contributed to the team's series win."

Tim Southee (New Zealand Captain): "Yes, it was a bit of a scrap and nice to come out on top. I think the guys trusted the way they played. Like Phillips and Santner played aggresssively and then had their role to do that.

Yes, it is and at times in the first innings Bangladesh showed that we had to show intent. The wicket was such that we had to attack as a ball had a name to it. Yes, it is not easy.

The bowlers stuck to their plans and Ajaz was superb with the ball. Nice to win and the guys showed a great fight out there.

It is great to win such a game and we will have a great safe travels back home from here. Good game and enjoyable Test match to say the least."
