Bangladesh's pace attack dominated New Zealand's batting, restricting them to their lowest total in 45 ODIs between the teams. The hosts were dismissed for just 98 runs in 34.1 overs. Bangladesh's remarkable form reversal resulted in a historic nine-wicket victory. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto led the run chase with an unbeaten half-century as they easily reached the target of 99 runs in 15.1 overs. This win marks Bangladesh's first ODI victory over the Black Caps on New Zealand soil.
