- New Zealand are undefeated in their last four multigame bilateral men’s T20I series against Sri Lanka (W3 D1); the Black Caps had won only one of all their four such series prior to that span (D2 L1).
- New Zealand have lost only one of their last six multigame bilateral men’s T20I series (W1 D4) – a 0-3 defeat against Australia (February 2024); the Black Caps have drawn each of their two series since then – the last and only time they logged more consecutive draws in such series was a span of three from July 2014 to August 2015.
- Sri Lanka will be aiming for consecutive wins in multigame bilateral men’s T20I series away from home for just the second time in the history of the format (2-1 v South Africa in January 2017 and 2-1 v Australia in February 2017), following their 2-1 victory against Bangladesh in their most recent such series (March 2024).
- New Zealand will be aiming for consecutive wins in men’s T20Is at Bay Oval for the first time since their first four matches there (January 2016 to January 2018), following their 17-run victory against Bangladesh in their most recent such fixture (31 December 2023).
- Batters have recorded 2.05 runs per scoring shot against Sri Lanka in men’s T20Is in 2024, the joint-lowest average against any Test playing country this year (also Zimbabwe – 2.05); in addition, Sri Lanka’s bowling average (17.8) is the second best of any Test playing country in the format this year (India – 17.5).
- New Zealand are the only Test playing country in men’s T20Is in 2024 with a 100% catch success rate (31/31) during the death overs (17th-20th); in addition, the Black Caps are one of only two teams to have logged more than one run out (2) and more than one stumping (2) when fielding during this period (Bangladesh – 2 run outs, 3 stumpings).
- Kusal Perera (1,907) is 93 away from becoming the first player to score 2,000 runs in men’s T20Is for Sri Lanka; although, he’s scored fewer than 30 runs in four of his last five T20I innings (6, 24, 55*, 23, 3).
- Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand) has a batting false shot rate of 25.9% from 116 balls faced in men’s T20Is in 2024, the second best of any player (min. 110 balls faced) from a Test playing country this year (Angelo Mathews – 22.5% from 200 balls faced for Sri Lanka).
- Pathum Nissanka (13) is one away from equaling Tillakaratne Dilshan (14) for the third most scores of 50+ for Sri Lanka in men’s T20Is (Kusal Perera – 15 and Kusal Mendis – 15); he scored 52 runs in his most recent T20I innings against New Zealand (10 November 2024).
- Zak Foulkes (New Zealand) has bowled 17.8% of his 90 deliveries on a short length in men’s T20Is in 2024, the highest rate of any player from a Test playing country this year (min. 45 balls bowled); he has taken just one wicket via this method.
