- New Zealand are undefeated in 15 Tests against Bangladesh (W12, D3); winning both fixtures in this series by innings margins.
- New Zealand have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead and have thus sealed their fifth Test series win in succession (2+ match series); their best ever run.
- New Zealand have only lost two of their 16 Test matches since the start of 2017 (W10 D4); a rate of just 12.5%, the lowest of any side in that time.
- Bangladesh have won only one of their last 13 Tests played away from home; they've lost their last six such fixtures on the bounce including four innings defeats.
- Bangladesh have played New Zealand once before at Hagley Oval in Christchurch; losing that 2017 encounter by a margin of nine wickets.
- New Zealand have only ever tasted one Test loss at Hagley Oval (W4 D1); they are currently enjoying a four-match unbeaten run at the Christchurch venue (W3 D1).
- All of New Zealand's wickets in this series so far have been taken by seamers; only Afghanistan batsmen (13.1) have a lower average against seam since the start of 2018 in Test cricket than Bangladesh (20.1).
- Trent Boult (246) and Tim Southee (244) are just four and six dismissals away from 250 Test wickets respectively; only two other bowlers have managed to reach that milestone in a New Zealand jersey (Hadlee & Vettori).
- Neil Wagner has taken 10 wickets in this series with short balls, seven more than any other bowler; he's claimed more dismissals with short-pitched deliveries in Test cricket than anybody else since the start of 2017 (33).
- Two of the five highest Test innings scores posted since the start of last year have come in this series (Kane Williamson's 200* & Ross Taylor's 200); in fact, four of those knocks have been registered by players involved in this very series (also Tom Latham & Mushfiqur Rahim).
