So we can expect more than one of the top 7 to try and have a proper bat next time after they've given some quality wicket-celebrating practise to Bangladesh?
?????
NZ played bad, but BD played good.
A team always plays good, while the other bad in order for one to win.
So "wicket-celebrating practise to Bangladesh" wasn't a very nice way of saying whatever it is that you wanted to say.
But as Brandon McCullum said earlier today on Radio Sport, they just did not play well, and Stephen Fleming echoed so too in the BLACK CAPS website.
McCullum also stated that they needed this as a wake up call or something to that extent.
Moreover, if this was a "wicket-celebrating practise to Bangladesh" then I should also say it was a "batting-celebrating practice to Bangladesh" too, because they batted second and won

The bowlers from the bigger teams need to get better adjusted to the picthes in the Caribbean. BD has already played a tri-series there involving Canada and Bermuda, and have hence gotten a taste of the picthes' behavior and some match practice.
So coming into this match I'd say they had a plus point. But I tell you what. Quality teams are quality teams no matter what! So if NZ and the other biggies do well in the warm up matches, you can definitely expect firecrackers from them in the World Cup.
Sure these are not counted as official ODIs, but they are matches after all and should never be taken lightly!
