Bangladesh caught New Zealand napping at 33-2 by taking the key wickets of Brendon McCullum (eight) and Kane Williamson (one) by opening with spin from both ends -- only the second time in World Cup history when slow bowlers opened the attack.

Left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan took both the early wickets before Guptill and Ross Taylor (56) revived the innings through their 131-run stand for the third wicket.

Mahmudullah became only the second Bangladeshi batsman to score back-to-back hundreds in all one-day internationals after Shahriar Nafees who achieved the feat against Zimbabwe at home in 2006.

In all Mahmudullah hit 12 fours and three sixes as New Zealand's bowlers were tested for the first time in the tournament with Southee going wicketless.
