Only Yasir Ali and Nurul Hasan scored good runs for the team and Bangladesh were bowled out for just 126 runs. Kiwi Pacers Trent Boult, Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee dominated and shared 10 wickets between them. Also, Boult who bagged a 5-wicket haul became the 4th New Zealand bowler to reach the 300 Test wickets milestone from the country.

New Zealand were able to get the 395 runs first-innings lead with the help of the amazing bowling performance and they enforced the follow-on.

Following-on Bangladesh top order batters performed decently in the second innings but the batters were unable to contribute big runs. However, Litton Das smashed an amazing century but others failed which resulted in Bangladesh getting bowled out for 278 runs and New Zealand won by an innings and 117 runs.

Notably, veteran batsman Ross Taylor who was playing his last Test game scored 28 runs in the first innings and he also bagged the final wicket of the match to finish off his career with a wicket off the final ball.
