Tournament hosts New Zealand bounced back from their agonising three-run defeat to the West Indies in their opening game with an emphatic display in the rain-shortened game in Dunedin.

Reduced to a 27-overs-a-side contest, Bangladesh posted a fairly competitive total of 140-8 batting first, with opener Fargana Hoque (52) impressive in scoring her country's first-ever half-century at a World Cup.

Bangladesh had managed only two fifty opening partnerships across their first 42 ODIs before notching two in as many games in this tournament as Fargana and Shamima Sultana (33) put on 59 together for the first wicket inside the opening 10 overs.

Bangladesh couldn't capitalise on the strong platform provided, though, with spinner Amy Satterthwaite doing the bulk of the damage and claiming 3-25 from her five overs to rip through the middle order.

In reply, New Zealand lost Suzie Bates (14) in the seventh over, bowled by Salma Khatun, but Kerr (47no) joined Bates in the middle and the pair saw the hosts home without further alarm - Bates becoming the second New Zealand batter to pass 1,000 runs in the Women's World Cup, and the fastest overall to do so, in 21 innings.

She should have been dismissed for 58, only for Bangladesh wicketkeeper Shamima to fluff a stumping chance.
