But they lost three wickets for 27 runs before Mitchell Santner (17 not out) and Lockie Ferguson (four not out) saw them to a victory achieved with 17 balls to spare.
Taylor, while on 10, survived being run out by a centimeter. He was fortunate the throw to Mushfiqur was too high.
Taylor and Williamson got their running sorted out, settled down, and reached their 26th partnership of 50-plus in ODIs, equaling the New Zealand record.
Taylor played the aggressor, while Williamson was happy pushing singles and twos, knowing the run rate required wasn't taxing.
Taylor hit nine boundaries in his knock.
