Martin Guptill returned to form with an unbeaten century as New Zealand powered to an eight-wicket win over Bangladesh in the first one-day international in Napier on Wednesday.
Bangladesh set New Zealand a modest run chase of 233 after suffering an early collapse and the Black Caps overhauled it in 44.3 overs, finishing at 233 for two.
Mohammad Saifuddin provided support with a gritty 41 as Bangladesh were bowled out for 232 with seven balls of their allotted 50 overs remaining.
Spinner Mitchell Santner and paceman Trent Boult took three wickets apiece for New Zealand.
The Black Caps struck early when Tamim Iqbal departed for five in the second over and Liton Das soon followed, leaving Bangladesh at 19 for two.
A rattled Mushfiqur Rahim was struck on the helmet by a Boult bouncer and was out for five just a few balls later.
Defiant Soumya Sarkar smashed 30 off 22 balls before he was caught and bowled by Matt Henry.
Sabbir Rahman summed up Bangladesh's batting woes when he was stumped trying to sweep Santner to the boundary.
Rahman's foot slipped as he crouched for the shot and he tumbled to the ground just outside his crease as wicketkeeper Tom Latham whipped off the bails.
