New Zealand were all smiles when they won the toss and put Bangladesh into bat in prime bowling conditions.
But at the end of the day after rain and bad light had restricted play to 40.2 overs, it was Bangladesh with their heads held high.
Mominul was unbeaten on 64 at the close and Shakib Al Hasan on five after being dropped on four. Opener Tamim went for 56.
"Today was Bangladesh's day," New Zealand seamer Neil Wagner conceded, blaming the bowling unit for not making the most of the conditions."We didn't do that. We missed a little bit and we got hurt."
Wagner said the New Zealand seamers need to bowl a better line on Friday to get into the match.
"We're going to have to find a way. We know if we put the ball in the right area for a period of time and build that pressure and bowl consistently in partnerships you can get two, three, four wickets quickly."
Tamim, who led the way for Bangladesh with his aggressive approach, said the tourists were happy with the state of the game.
"History says the first innings is really difficult on this wicket and not too many runs have been scored by the best of teams. In that case we handled it pretty well," he said.
"We are very new to this wind so at times we had to stop the bowlers because it was too heavy. There were seven, eight occasions when the bails fell down. For us it was difficult because we haven't faced this situation before but still we played really well."
