New Zealand’s last success against Bangladesh came way back at Christchurch in February 2010, when Martin Guptill‘s run-a-ball 91 had enabled them to snatch a three-wicket win. Since then the two countries have faced each other eight times, in a five-match series in 2010 and then another three-match contest in 2013. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: SCHEDULE & MATCH DETAILS
