The New Zealand cricketers failed to make any impression on the ICC One Day Championship despite beating Bangladesh 2-1 in their series.
The Black Caps won last night's third and deciding match in Chittagong by 79 runs, but because they didn't beat the lowly ranked Bangladeshi's 3-nil, they lose ranking points.
That keeps them in 4th place behind Australia, South Africa and England and now equal with India.
The attention will now shift to the two-Test series which begins in Chittagong from Friday.
