This was Taylor’s 6th 50+ score in the 50-over format, hence going past the Indian pair of Kohli and Tendulkar who both have done so on 5 occasions. Taylor has now equalled Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson (2015), and Andrew Jones as the record holders for New Zealand. New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka by 115 runs to complete a series whitewash in the third one-day international in Nelson on Tuesday.
