New Zealand face Bangladesh on Friday with both sides having already qualified for the quarter-finals. Williamson, spinner Daniel Vettori and all-rounder Grant Elliott caught the bug after New Zealand's last match against Afghanistan in Napier on Sunday.
Williamson was rested on Wednesday while Vettori and Elliott had recovered. The 24-year-old Williamson is key to the co-hosts' batting as he has scored 182 runs at 60.66 with a best of 57 against Sri Lanka in the opening match.
He hit an unbeaten 45 in the game against Australia, clinching the narrow one-wicket win in Auckland with a six. Paceman Adam Milne trained on Wednesday after a bruise on the joint of his shoulder suffered in the Afghanistan match.
