The visitors needed just 40 runs in their second innings and did so in one session on the final day. Ebadot Hossain’s six-wicket haul proved to be crucial as New Zealand were bowled out for 169 in their second innings, making it easier for Bangladesh to win the first game of the two-match Test series.
It was also New Zealand’s first defeat in 16 home Tests over the last four years.
New Zealand had a strong start in the first Test and posted a total of 328 runs with Devon Conway smashing 122 runs off 227 balls. But Bangladesh had a better reply and were bowled out for 458, taking a first innings lead.
Mahmudul Hasan (78), Haque (88) and Liton Das (86) played crucial knocks for Bangladesh in the first innings.
Despite a half-century by Will Young, New Zealand were rolled in for 169 in their second innings.
Promoted
Needing only 40 runs on Day 5, Bangladesh reached 42 for two in the first session.
The visitors will be aiming for a clean sweep and win the series in their second Test match, which begins from January 9 in Christchurch.
