The batsman has been handed one demerit point under the ICC's disciplinary code following a review of the incident, which took place during the tourists' series-clinching Super Over win at Eden Park.
It is the second time Bairstow has received such a sanction this year, having also picked up a demerit point for swinging his bat at the stumps during a one-day international against Pakistan in May.
The points remain on a player's record for a period of two years, with a total of four points in that time enough to force a ban of one Test or two limited-overs games.
