In 13 one-day innings in Napier, Taylor has an average of 88.75, including three of his 15 ODI centuries at the ground. He returned to the ground later in the year to score his maiden ODI century against Sri Lanka. Taylor's one innings against Australia in Napier was 70 from 71 balls in the Black Caps' two-wicket win in 2010. Another good sign for the Black Caps is that they haven't lost at McLean Park since 2013, an eight wicket defeat to England. However on the other side of the statistical ledger, Black Caps bowler Tim Southee will be looking to improve his record in Napier.
