- New Zealand have lost only one of their last eight men's Test matches against West Indies (W6, D1); the Black Caps have won their last three in succession - no team has enjoyed a longer such run in the history of this fixture though.
- New Zealand are undefeated in their last five men's Test series against West Indies at home (W4, D1); the Black Caps have avoided defeat in each of those series.
- West Indies have won only one of their last five men's Test series (L4), a 2-1 triumph at home versus England in early 2019.
- New Zealand have won their last six men's Test series on the bounce at home, their longest ever winning run in such series.
- West Indies have won only one of their last 12 multi-game men's Test series on the road (L11), that sole success coming against Zimbabwe in late 2017.
- New Zealand have a catching success rate of just over 82% in men's Test matches since the start of 2016, the highest share of any side across that period; West Indies are 7th in that list.
- Kane Williamson (New Zealand) needs 13 to become the second player to score 1,000 runs in men's Tests at Seddon Park (Ross Taylor - 1,066); Williamson's average of 75.9 at the venue is his highest of any Test ground in New Zealand.
- Only James Anderson (6) has dismissed New Zealand's Kane Williamson more often than West Indies seamer Kemar Roach (5 times), the Black Cap averages just 25 against him; Roach is one of only nine men to record 200 Test wickets for the Windies.
- Jason Holder (W11) needs one more victory for the outright third-most as West Indies captain in men's Test cricket; he's currently level with Sir Richie Richardson, only Sir Clive Lloyd (36) and Sir Viv Richards (27) sit above the current skipper.
- Tim Southee (New Zealand) needs four wickets to become the first player to snare 50 in men's Tests at Seddon Park; indeed, his tally of 46 at the venue is the most he's recorded at any ground in the format.
