Kiwis wrap up Chittagong victory

Second Test, Chittagong (day four): Bangladesh 182 & 262 lost to New Zealand 545-6d by an innings & 101 runs

Full scorecard

Vettori had a superb series

New Zealand completed the formalities to claim victory over Bangladesh, winning the Test series 2-0.

The Kiwis began the fourth day needing only two wickets to seal the win but found Tapash Baisya in bullish form as he smashed 66 from 47 balls.

But left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori eventually ended his resistance to finish with match figures of 12-170.

Baisya's wicket wrapped up victory for New Zealand by an innings and 101 runs with Bangladesh all out for 262.

Resuming on 210-8, Bangladesh soon lost Mohammad Rafique, caught at silly point off Vettori.

Enamul Haque jnr then joined Baisya at the crease and the pair put on 45, of which the last man's contribution was nought.

Baisya plundered 10 fours and two sixes before he was stumped and Vettori was unsurprisingly named man of the series for his 20 wickets in the two Tests.

It was disappointing to see batting failures in both innings Khaled Mashud Bangladesh captain

Vettori, who will act as skipper in an upcoming one-day series as Stephen Fleming goes back home to rest an abdomen injury, was happy with his three successive hauls of six wickets.

He said: "A spinner is always expected to get wickets on the subcontinent and this pitch was ideal for spin bowling."

Fleming added: "We wanted to prove our ability as a team which could adjust to different conditions. Our spinners bowled incredibly well and I am happy at the way the series went."

Bangladesh's stand-in captain Khaled Mashud praised Fleming for his innings of 202.

"We learned a lot from the way he batted," said Mashud. "We are still in the learning process, but it was disappointing to see batting failures in both innings."
