New Zealand won by 183 runs, lead five-match series 3-0.
Williamson’s game-high 73 from 101 balls was far from his prettiest innings, but he grafted his way to his 33rd ODI fifty.
Taylor, who is set to become the seventh New Zealander to play 200 or more ODIs when the teams meet again in Hamilton on Tuesday, raised his 40th ODI half century in 59 deliveries.
