WELLINGTON: New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor enters his fourth, and almost certainly last, World Cup in the form of his life, raising the prospect he might even outshine Kane Williamson in England and Wales.

Taylor, however, has played fewer games than everyone else above him and his average of 68.85 compares unfavourably with only Kohli's 78.29. It is also significantly better than the seventh-placed Williamson's 47.01. He became the first New Zealand player to score 20 one-day centuries when he hit 137 against Sri Lanka in Nelson in January.
