The result ensured the two teams shared the spoils in the series after the first Test in Chittagong also ended in a draw. Match officials called off play at 2:08 pm local time (0808 GMT) after overnight showers and continuous drizzle made the ground unplayable.

Bangladesh were 269-3 overnight in the second innings, leading New Zealand by 114 runs. Left-handed middle-order batsman Mominul Haque remained unbeaten on 126 alongside former captain Shakib Al Hasan on 32 not out. Several hundred fans left the stadium dejected as they had been hoping to see Mominul complete a double century.
