Not what New Zealand envisioned for themselves. Their plan would’ve been to get 400 runs on the board but credit to Bangladesh spinners who spun a web around the batters and restricted the Kiwis to 328 runs. Mehidy Hasan led the bowling attack for the visitors and he picked up 3 wickets. Mominul Haque took the final wicket to end things for the Kiwis. Henry Nicholls could not get much support from the other end, he fought a lone battle and if not for him New Zealand would've never crossed the 300-run mark.
