- New Zealand have won each of their last two men's Test series against Pakistan, as many as they won in their 21 such series prior (D6, L13).
- Pakistan have won only one of their last seven multi-game bilateral men's Test series outside their own country (D1, L5), that victory a 1-0 triumph over Australia in the United Arab Emirates in October 2018.
- New Zealand have lost only two of their last 13 men's Test series (W10, D1) and have won their last two in succession.
- Pakistan have won more Tests against New Zealand (25) than they have against any other opponent in the men's format.
- This will be just the second men's Test at Bay Oval; the inaugural fixture saw New Zealand defeat England by an innings and 65 runs (November 2019).
- Ross Taylor (New Zealand - 905) is 95 away from becoming just the fourth player to score 1,000 runs in men's Tests between New Zealand and Pakistan; he would be the first Black Caps player to achieve the feat (Javed Miandad, Asif Iqbal and Inzamam-ul-Haq).
- Neil Wagner (New Zealand) claimed match figures of 8/134 in his side's only previous men's Test at Bay Oval (v England in November 2019); the Kiwi has picked up 21 of his wickets in this format since the start of last year when pitching the ball on a short length, six more than anybody else across that period.
- Tim Southee (296) is four away from becoming just the third player to take 300 wickets for New Zealand in men's Tests (Sir Richard Hadlee - 431 and Daniel Vettori - 361); Southee's managed to claim 26 Test wickets at an average of just 15.7 in 2020.
- Mohammad Rizwan is set to become the 33rd player to captain Pakistan in a men's Test match; his debut in the format (25 November 2016) is the only previous occasion he has faced New Zealand.
- Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan) has a catch success rate of 95.5% in men's Tests since the start 2018 (21/22); the highest rate of any player to claim more than 10 catches across that period.
