- Sri Lanka have never claimed a bilateral series win over New Zealand in men's T20I cricket (2+ matches); recording two defeats (2009 and 2016) and two drawn series against them (2006 and 2010).
- Sri Lanka have suffered three men's T20I defeats in a row versus New Zealand; another loss in this game will equal their longest such run against them in this format (four-matches between 2009 and 2010).
- Sri Lanka have taken on New Zealand twice before at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in men's T20I cricket and are yet to lose there against them (W1 T1).
- Sri Lanka come into this encounter with New Zealand having seen their five-match winning streak at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in men's T20Is come to an end; the Lions suffering a comprehensive 85-run loss to Australia there in 2016, their most recent outing at that venue.
- New Zealand have tasted defeat in each of their last five men's T20I matches away from home; a loss in this game will equal their longest ever losing streak in such fixtures, matching the number they managed between 19th September 2007 and February 2009.
- The two nations have a remarkably similar record, New Zealand have won 57 men's T20I games compared to the 55 recorded by Sri Lanka; they have victory percentages of 50 and 49 respectively in this format.
- Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka) requires just two more dismissals to become the outright leading wicket-taker in men's T20I matches (going above Shahid Afridi, 98) and three more to become the first bowler to reach 100 in the format.
- New Zealand duo Martin Guptill (298) and Ross Taylor (294) are closing in on 300 men's T20I runs versus Sri Lanka; only two batsmen have ever claimed that many against the Lions (Shoaib Malik – 397 and Shahid Afridi – 331).
- Ish Sodhi (New Zealand) has been struck for 30 sixes in men's T20I games since the start of 2018; the most logged by a bowler featuring for a Test-playing nation in that time.
- Colin Munro has scored the most runs in a men's T20I innings for New Zealand on six occasions since the start of last year, the most recorded by a Kiwi; in fact, no other Black Cap batsman has done so more than three times (Guptill) in that period.
