- Sri Lanka have won 71% of their men's Tests in 2024 (5/7) – their best win rate in a calendar year in the history of the format; only in 2001 (W8) and 2006 (W6) have they logged more wins in the format than in 2024 (W5).
- New Zealand have won only one of their last 10 men's Tests away from home (D3 L6) – a four-wicket victory against Bangladesh (December 2023 in Mirpur).
- Sri Lanka have won four of their last five men's Tests at Galle International Stadium (L1); their only defeat in that span was a four-wicket loss against Pakistan in July 2023.
- Sri Lanka have a collective batting average of 36 in men's Tests since the beginning of 2023, the best of any team; New Zealand are fourth in this category, averaging 32.7 during the same period.
- New Zealand (82% - 159/195) and Sri Lanka (81% - 132/163) have the best catch success rates of any teams in men's Tests since the beginning of 2023 (min. 4 matches played).
- Sri Lanka batters have scored 19 centuries in men's Tests since the beginning of 2023, one more than the next best team in that time (England – 18); Kamindu Mendis has scored four of those 19 hundreds – only Kane Williamson (7 for New Zealand) and Joe Root (6 for England) have logged more in that time.
- New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra (21.9%) and Sri Lanka's Kamindu Mendis (21.5%) have scored a higher percentage of their team's runs when they’ve played than any other players in men's Tests since the beginning of 2023 (min. 5 innings).
- Kamindu Mendis (Sri Lanka) has scored 761 runs in men's Tests in 2024, the third most of any player this year (Joe Root – 986 for England and Yashasvi Jaiswal 806 for India); his Test batting average in 2024 (76.1) is the second best of any player (Mohammad Rizwan – 82 for Pakistan).
- Tom Blundell (99 – 85 catches, 14 stumpings) is one away from becoming the fifth wicketkeeper to record 100 dismissals for New Zealand in men's Tests; his 14 stumpings is the most of any wicketkeeper for the Black Caps in the history of the format.
