  • New Zealand have won their last five Tests on the bounce against Sri Lanka, this after having lost their four Test encounters prior.
  • New Zealand have won their last four Tests on the bounce against Sri Lanka (securing a 4-0 series sweep in the process) in New Zealand; Sri Lanka's last Test victory in New Zealand came in December 2006.
  • Each of New Zealand's last seven Tests at Basin Reserve have seen the result alternate (W4, D1, L2); however, they will be looking to snare back-to-back wins at the venue for the first time since 2006 after an innings defeat of Windies there in December 2017.
  • Sri Lanka have lost their last three Tests heading into this fixture; the last time they lost more in succession was a four-game stretch from December 2015 to May 2016, which included a brace of defeats to New Zealand.
  • Sri Lanka have lost just two of their last six Test series away from home (W3, D1), and are unbeaten in their last two (W1, D1).
  • Dinesh Chandimal is set to play his 50th Test for Sri Lanka in this fixture; the wicket-keeper captain has posted at least 47 runs in four of his six previous Test knocks versus New Zealand.
  • Ross Taylor (976) is on the cusp of his 1,000th run scored at Basin Reserve; in doing so, he would become just the fourth New Zealand player to hit 1,000 runs at a single venue (Martin Crowe, John Wright, Brendon McCullum).
  • Tim Southee (New Zealand) has dismissed Angelo Mathews on six occasions, his joint-most against any single batsman; indeed, his bowling average of 18.6 against Sri Lanka is his best against any team in the Test arena.
  • Kane Williamson (New Zealand) scored 396 runs in the 2014/15 series between the Black Caps and Sri Lanka, 181 more than any Sri Lankan player; remaining not out twice from four innings in that span.
  • Only England's Alastair Cook (19) has taken more catches as a non-wicket keeping fielder in 2018 than Dhananjaya de Silva (Sri Lanka), who has taken 17.
