Queenstown, December 31:

Daniel Vettori took a magnificent five for seven off six overs as Bangladesh were dismissed for a meagre 93 in the one-day international against New Zealand here on Monday.

With New Zealand already 2-0 up in the three-match series, Bangladesh were looking to restore some pride by producing a competitive total in this dead rubber. Instead nothing went right for the South Asians from the time New Zealand captain Vettori won the toss and chose to bowl.

In the four-match history of international limited-over cricket in Queenstown, the team that won the toss has always bowled first and always won mainly through pace bowling. But it was Vettori’s spin magic that undid the Bangladeshis, with his five for seven a career best.

In the process he overtook Chris Harris as New Zealand’s leading ODI wicket taker, ending the innings with a 207 total, four ahead of his former teammate. Vettori will also end 2007 as cricket’s most successful bowler for the calendar year with 43 victims, three clear of Indian paceman Zaheer Khan.

For Bangladesh, captain Mohammad Ashraful once again top-scored with 25 before being undone by his favourite pullshot when he delivered the ball straight into the hands of Jacob Oram at fine leg. When Vettori brought himself on he took Aftab Ahmed and Shakib Al Hasan in one over and followed with the wickets of Farhad Reza and Mushfiqur Rahim in his next two overs before clean bowling Mashrafe Mortaza.
