Left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori claimed six wickets to demolish the Bangladesh second innings and help New Zealand claim the first Test on Friday by an innings and 99 runs.
New Zealand dismissed the hosts for 126 just after lunch on the fourth day to take a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series.
New Zealand completed a first innings total of 402 on Thursday in reply to Bangladesh’s 177. The hosts resumed on Friday on an overnight score of 41-2, but were outclassed in the first session to sit at 122-9 at lunch.
Vettori (25) struck in the first over of the day, dismissing overnight batsman Rajin Saleh for a duck.
Saleh was ruled out by umpire Mark Benson, but television replays suggested he might not have edged a sharply turning ball to wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum.
Vettori who claimed two wickets at Bangabandhu National Stadium on Thursday, went on to claim Manjurul Islam (1), Mohammad Ashraful (26) and Tareq Aziz (0). He returned with figures of 6-28, while fellow spinner Paul Wiseman took three wickets for 64.
Wiseman finished the match claiming Mohammad Rafique (24).
Rookie Nafis Iqbal (49) was run out one short of his maiden Test half century by Paul Wiseman, reducing Bangladesh to 87-4.
In the next over, Wiseman removed out-of-form batsman Alok Kapali, caught behind for a duck. Wiseman’s next victim was captain Khaled Mashud (2), who edged a turning delivery to fielder Scott Styris.
Bangladesh began the second innings with a deficit of 225 runs, even after left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique took six wickets and became the first Bangladeshi bowler to claim 50 test wickets.
McCullum (143) completed his maiden Test century on Thursday to put New Zealand in control on the third day of the first test against Bangladesh.
This loss was Bangladesh 28th in the 31 Test matches it has played since Test inauguration in 2000. It drew three other matches. – Sapa-AP
