- New Zealand have won their last four Test matches in succession against Pakistan, currently their best winning streak against them.
- With the score standing at 1-0 in their favour, New Zealand have the chance to secure back-to-back Test series wins over Pakistan for the first time ever.
- New Zealand are undefeated in their last six Tests (W4, D2); it's the first time since a glut of eight games between October 2013 - June 2014 they've enjoyed such a good run of results (W4, D4).
- Pakistan and New Zealand have met at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium once before in Test cricket; the 2014 encounter ended in a draw.
- After a run of four Tests unbeaten at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium (W3 D1); Pakistan have failed to win either of their last two outings there in the five-day format (D1 L1).
- Ajaz Patel took figures of 5/59 in Pakistan's second innings last time out; he's only the ninth man to take a five-wicket haul on Test debut for New Zealand.
- Mohammad Abbas (Pakistan) has taken 38 Test wickets at an average of 12.5 so far in 2018; only Jason Holder (Windies, 12.4) has managed a better rate in this calendar year.
- Mohammad Abbas currently holds the third-best Test bowling average by a seamer ever (50+ wickets); his record currently stands at 15.9 and is only sat behind England's George Lohmann (10.8) and Billy Barnes (15.5).
- Kane Williamson (5,338) is just seven runs shy of going above Martin Crowe for Test match runs - only three other New Zealanders sit above Crowe on the run-scorers list (Ross Taylor - 6,302, Brendon McCullum - 6,453, Stephen Fleming - 7,172).
- Yasir Shah (Pakistan) has dismissed New Zealand's Ross Taylor five times in Test cricket; if he gets him in both innings in this match, Taylor will become the batsman Shah has removed most often in this form of the game (Steve Smith, six times).
