Martin Guptill was the star player in New Zealand's innings, hitting a ton from as many balls.
Ross Taylor added his half-century to the total, while putting on a 128 partnership with Guptill.
Runs began to become scarce as the Black Caps slowly approached their target.
The final few overs provided a tense finish but a massive six and a boundary from Daniel Vettori saw a grandstand finish, as New Zealand clinch their sixth victory from as many games.
The win puts them top of Pool A with 12 points, four in front of Sri Lanka and seven ahead of Bangladesh, who make up the top four.
Despite the loss, Bangladesh still progress to the quarter-finals alongside New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Australia in the group.
