Kane Williamson belted 73 off 55 balls as New Zealand cruised to a six-wicket win over Bangladesh in the first Twenty20 match in Napier on Tuesday.

New Zealand chased down their 142-run target with two overs to spare as captain Williamson held the innings together with support from Colin de Grandhomme after the first four wickets fell cheaply.

New Zealand were 62 for four when de Grandhomme went to the crease and added 41 off 22 balls in an 81-run stand with Williamson.

It was Williamson's highest Twenty20 innings, one run more than his unbeaten 72 against Pakistan a year ago, while de Grandhomme's previous best was eight against Zimbabwe.

The comfortable win continued New Zealand's domination of Bangladesh after the home side won the three 50-over matches last week.

Bangladesh, looking to turn the tables in the shortest form of the game, opted to bat on a flat wicket after winning the toss but could only manage 141 for eight.

Mahmudullah, who had been out of form in the ODIs, came right with a knock of 52 in the only innings of note, with Mosaddek Hossain adding 20. New Zealand's total of 18 wides was the third highest contributor.

Mahmudullah kept out a yorker to avoid a hat-trick with the first ball he faced after New Zealand debutant Lockie Ferguson took the wickets of Sabbir Rahman and Soumya Sarkar with his first two deliveries.

Ferguson also bowled Mahmudullah in his last over to finish with three for 32 while fellow debutant Ben Wheeler took 2-22.

Bangladesh felt they were still in the game when top-order big hitters, Neil Broom, Colin Munro, Corey Anderson and Tom Bruce were all removed cheaply.

Broom was out for six when Shakib Al Hasan pulled off a sensational catch as he sprinted around the boundary to take the ball.

He flicked it in the air before momentum took him across the rope and then stepped back onto the field of play to complete the catch.

Mustafizur Rahman, who removed Munro without scoring, was the most economical of the Bangladesh bowlers with 1-21 off his four overs.
