Ross Taylor scripted history on his way to his unbeaten 70-ball 102 as he scored the 100th One-Day International (ODI) century for New Zealand. Kane Williamson too scored a century in the game as his 112 of 88 balls helped New Zealand to a mammoth score of 369 for five in 50 overs. Williamson scored the 99th century for New Zealand and Taylor brought his century up by scoring a boundary off the last ball of the innings.
Taylor got his 12th ODI century and is now just four centuries behind Nathan Astle (16), who has the most ODI centuries for New Zealand. Williamson got his sixth century after he came in to bat after the dismissal of Brendon McCullum in the eighth over. Williamson put on 128-run stand with Martin Guptill (76), which laid the foundation from where the following batsmen including Taylor took off.
New Zealand already led the two-match series 1-0 and a win today will give them yet another series victory over Pakistan going into the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, which begins from February 14.
