  • New Zealand seven-match unbeaten run in men's Test matches against Sri Lanka (W6, D1) came to an end last time out; losing by six wickets in the series opener in Galle.
  • Sri Lanka have lost just one of their last nine men's Test matches against New Zealand on home soil (W6, D2), the lone defeat coming when these sides last faced off at P Sara Oval in Colombo (167 runs - November 2012).
  • Sri Lanka have put together a three-match winning run in men's Test matches ahead of this contest with New Zealand; they had failed to win in seven outings before this streak, losing six of those matches (D1).
  • Sri Lanka have the opportunity to win a men's Test series against New Zealand for the first time since 2009, having lost three and drawn once in the time since; the Lions need to avoid defeat in order to secure a series victory.
  • Sri Lanka have tasted defeat in five of their last seven men's Test matches at P Sara Oval in Colombo (W2); they had enjoyed a five-game winning streak at the venue in this format immediately beforehand.
  • None of Sri Lanka's last 25 Test matches played on home soil have ended in a draw; the most recent instance coming in July 2014 (v South Africa).
  • Sri Lanka's Dimuth Karunaratne 122 in his side’s second innings helped the Lions record victory versus New Zealand last time out; he has scored more Test runs than any other opener since the start of 2017 (2,115).
  • No bowler has picked up more Test five-wicket hauls since the start of 2018 than Sri Lanka's Akila Dananjaya (4); he took 5/80 in the first innings at Galle against New Zealand.
  • Tim Southee (New Zealand) is three wickets away (47) from 50 against Sri Lanka in Test cricket, only Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka, 82) and Daniel Vettori (New Zealand, 51) have taken more in the history of Sri Lanka v New Zealand Test matches.
  • Trent Boult and Tim Southee are only one and five wickets away from 250 Test wickets for New Zealand respectively; only two other men have managed to reach that milestone for the Black Caps (Sir Richard Hadlee & Daniel Vettori).
