Williamson stars on return as NZ beat Bangladesh

Kane Williamson retired hurt after hitting a fine 78 on his return as New Zealand beat Bangladesh by eight wickets in Chennai.

Daryl Mitchell struck an unbeaten 89 to lead New Zealand past their target of 246 with 7.1 overs to spare.

A third win in as many games takes the Kiwis back to the top of the group.

But they will hope the injury to Williamson, suffered when he was hit by a throw as he ran through for a quick single, does not prove too serious.

Despite that worry, this was another strong all-round performance, with the bowling attack quickly putting Bangladesh under pressure.

Lockie Ferguson took 3-49 and Trent Boult claimed his 200th one-day international wicket before the Black Caps batters put on another clinical display.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh stay sixth after a second loss in three games and also have fitness concerns over their captain, with Shakib Al Hasan limping off before the end.

The all-rounder appeared to sustain the leg injury while batting as he and Mushfiqur Rahim shared a stand of 96 to lead a recovery from 56-4.

However, once they departed, the momentum was lost again and Bangladesh were unable to claw their way to a total that would challenge New Zealand.
