Jimmy Neesham and Matt Henry did the damage for New Zealand with the ball, taking five for 27 and four for 27 respectively. Paceman Rubel Hossain was the pick of the Bangladesh bowlers, with three for 70.

The scores: New Zealand 318/6 in 50 overs (Martin Guptill 26, Devon Conway 126, Daryl Mitchell 100 n.o.; Rubel Hossain 3/70) bt Bangladesh 154 in 42.4 overs (Mahmudullah 76 n.o.; Matt Henry 4/27, James Neesham 5/27).
