New Zealand seal series win

12 April 2012

New Zealand clinched the one-day series against Bangladesh with a match to spare after a 102-run victory by the Duckworth-Lewis method in Napier.

Rain forced an early end to play in the second ODI, with Bangladesh 181 for six after 43 overs chasing the hosts' 335 for five.

Kyle Mills finished with figures of four for 40 as the tourists struggled to keep up with the run-rate.

Bangladesh were always up against it once they slipped to 68 for three, having lost opener Tamim Iqbal for 43.

Aftab Ahmed top-scored with 54 and was last man out before the umpires took the teams off the field.

Earlier, Jamie How, Peter Fulton and Jacob Oram all scored half-centuries as New Zealand posted a formidable total.
