Half-centuries from Tamim Iqbal and Mohammad Mithun had powered Bangladesh to 271-6 after being put into bat at Christchurch's Hagley Oval. Latham raised 113 runs with Devon Conway (72) to calm the nerves in the New Zealand dressing room. Tamim sent back Conway with a direct hit but Latham stayed put till the end to fashion their second successive victory.
