New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori said that apart from his side's bowling at the death, Monday's second One-Day International win over Bangladesh met all his expectations.
The University Oval was a small ground where 300 runs was a minimum teams batting first needed to set and by restricting Bangladesh to 180, and to have it 46-6 at one stage was pleasing, he said.
The bowling at the end of Bangladesh's innings was still about execution, he said, although the smaller boundaries at the ground had not helped the bowlers.
"We missed a little bit and if we want to be competitive with Australia that's an area of our game we have got to make sure is nearly perfect otherwise it is difficult to stop very good teams," Vettori said.
Andy McKay had done well again when taking the new ball, bowling with pace and consistency.
"A lot of people talked about him having the pace but he wasn't as consistent for the international level but he did a great job today," he said.
He wasn't concerned with the fact that Bangladesh recovered from 46-6.
"People are allowed to play well, and there were a couple of decent batters there," he said.
"They played very slowly and didn't take any risks and on a wicket that flat you can bat that long."
Vettori was pleased to see Martin Guptill getting a good innings under his belt and that Ross Taylor had been aggressive in taking the game away from Bangladesh.
Taylor said he was disappointed not to be able to finish the job off with the bat, but was starting to see the benefits of some work he was doing on using his feet to the spinners.
"I'm still a while away yet, I've got a lot more to practice but with the short, straight boundaries it was good to utilise that," he said.
"I think I'm consistent in my routines and the way I am approaching my batting and in my set-up and I find myself in my set-up, in my stance, when I am comfortable there then everything else takes care of itself more often than not."
Taylor said he had made a lot of changes to his batting, not all of which would be obvious to those watching, that were clearer for coaches and other players to notice.
He said he hoped his batting was tighter than at times in the past.
"I've played a few rash shots over my career and I guess if you keep making those then you don't get selected. I think I've still got a lot to learn but hopefully I can get better and tighter as well in my game," he said.
