  • New Zealand are undefeated in their last six men’s Test series against Sri Lanka (W4 D2) – the Black Caps’ longest unbeaten against them in the history of the format; Sri Lanka’s last triumph against the Black Caps in such series was a 2-0 victory in August 2009.
  • Sri Lanka have won all four of their men’s Tests against New Zealand at Galle International Stadium; the Black Caps are one of two teams they have faced more than once at the venue in the history of the format and recorded a 100% win rate (W2 v Ireland).
  • New Zealand lost their most recent men’s Test series (0-2 v Australia – March 2024), snapping an unbeaten run of five series (W2 D3); the Black Caps will be looking to avoid back-to-back series defeats for the first time since October 2016.
  • Sri Lanka lost their most recent men’s Test series (1-2 v England – September 2024) after winning two of their three series prior in the format (L1); they will be looking to avoid back-to-back series defeats for the first time since January 2021.
  • Only India (36.7) have recorded a higher collective batting average in men’s Tests in 2024 than Sri Lanka (34.8) and New Zealand (31.0); although, New Zealand (51%) have scored a higher percentage of their runs from boundaries than Sri Lanka (50%) in the format this year.
  • New Zealand have a bowling dot ball rate of 78% in men’s Tests in 2024, the best of any team this year; in addition, the Black Caps’ bowling economy rate (3) is the second best of any team in the format this year (Ireland – 2.7).
  • Lahiru Kumara (96) is four away from becoming the eighth player to take 100 wickets for Sri Lanka in men’s Tests; he’s taken at least two wickets in each of his eight Test innings in 2024, recording 22 wickets in total at an average of 18.7.
  • Matt Henry (95) is five away from reaching 100 wickets for New Zealand in men’s Tests; he’s taken at least five wickets in two of his last four Test innings, recording 17 wickets in total across that span at an average of 15.7.
  • Asitha Fernando (Sri Lanka) has induced a false shot on 292 balls bowled in men’s Tests in 2024, the third most of any player this year behind only England duo Shoaib Bashir (321) and Gus Atkinson (306).
  • Batters have left 34% of Will O’Rourke’s (New Zealand) 402 balls bowled in men’s Tests in 2024, the highest rate of any player this year; in addition, his 11 wickets in the format in 2024 is the second most of any player for the Black Caps (Matt Henry - 23).
