The first of three matches begins in Hamilton on Thursday, with the Black Caps heavy favourites for a series win.
Yet Williamson is wary of an upset, believing every opponent poses a threat and pinpointing Sri Lanka’s away victory at South Africa as an example of a surprise result.
“There have been some upsets for some very strong teams,” Williamson said. “As we know, teams can get together as a group and play some very good cricket.
“Every team in international cricket is a threat. They’re all very, very talented.
“We saw Sri Lanka over in South Africa, which was a fantastic effort. It’s hard to beat a side like South Africa anywhere – let alone in their backyard. Anybody can beat anybody.
“It’s about playing your best cricket and focusing on what you are trying to achieve as a team.”
Williamson confirmed that Todd Astle will play the first Test, with Matt Henry and Will Young not involved.
