- New Zealand have lost only one of their last 10 men’s Tests against Sri Lanka (W8, D1), a six-wicket loss in August 2019; the Black Caps have won each of their last two meetings.
- New Zealand have won each of their last two men’s Tests, as many as they won across their 12 matches prior in the format (W2, D3, L7); the last time the Black Caps enjoyed a longer winning run in such fixtures was a six-match span from February 2020 to January 2021.
- Sri Lanka are winless in their last six men’s Tests outside Asia (D3, L3); their last victory in such fixtures was a 10-wicket win against Zimbabwe in January 2020.
- New Zealand are undefeated in their last six men’s Tests at the Basin Reserve (W5, D1) and have won their last four matches at the venue; it’s the Black Caps’ longest winning run there in the history of the format.
- Sri Lanka have scored 32% of their runs from singles in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the highest rate of any team in that time and six percentage points more than New Zealand (26%).
- Batters have left 17% of New Zealand’s balls bowled in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the best rate of any team in that time and seven percentage points higher than Sri Lanka (10%).
- Ramesh Mendis (46) is four away from taking 50 wickets for Sri Lanka in men’s Tests; if he achieves the milestone in this match (11*) he’d be the joint-fastest player to reach it for Sri Lanka in the history of the format (also Dilruwan Perera – 11 matches).
- Prabath Jayasuriya has taken 40% of Sri Lanka’s wickets in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the best rate of any player in that time (min. 4 innings).
- Neil Wagner (New Zealand) has taken 10 wickets bowling on a short length in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, more than any other player in that time via this method.
- Kane Williamson (New Zealand) has a 100% catch success rate from seven attempts in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022; only one player has made more catches in that time and maintained a 100% rate (Cameron Green – 10/10 for Australia).
