Adil Rashid and Chris Jordan bagged one wicket each.
With this win, Bangladesh pulled off a 3-0 series sweep over the visitors.
England looked in control at one point after Dawid Malan had smashed a half-century. However, the visitors lost quick wickets and were eventually reduced to 142/6 in 20 overs.
Meanwhile, two changes for Bangladesh, including a debut for the left-arm spinner, Tanvir Islam. Shamim also returns for Afif.
Bangladesh earlier won two matches of the T20I series to clinch their maiden series win over England and a third win in a row will be an icing on the cake for them.
