In reply Bangladesh struggled to put any partnerships together with none of the top four batters reaching double figures, with Tahuhu taking the first three wickets.

Rumana Ahmed scored 25, while Salma Khatun was left 23 not out as the tourists finished on 89/7.

Tahuhu finished with three for 13 from her four overs, while spinner Eden Carson grabbed two for 19.

The two sides now play three ODI's.

The White Ferns will then head to the T20 World Cup in South Africa in February.
