- New Zealand have only lost one of their last nine men’s Test series against West Indies (W7 D1) and have won their last four series in a row against them; that one defeat was a 0-2 loss in August 2012.
- New Zealand will be aiming for consecutive wins in men’s Test series for the first time since June 2021 following their 2-0 victory against Zimbabwe in their most recent iteration (August 2025).
- West Indies are winless in their last nine men’s Test series (D3 L6) and have lost each of their last two; the last time they recorded a longer losing run in such series was a span of three from September 2019 to December 2020.
- New Zealand have lost three of their last four men’s Tests in Christchurch (W1) after only losing only one of all their 10 matches at the venue prior in the format (W8 D1); the Black Caps have lost each of their last two games in the city – the last and only time they recorded a longer losing run there in the format was a four-match span from February 1952 to March 1963.
- New Zealand have a collective bowling average of 14.3 in men’s Tests in 2025, the best of any team this year and one of only two sides with an average fewer than 20 (Australia – 18.6); in addition, the Black Caps’ bowling economy rate (2.72) is the best of any side.
- West Indies have made six run outs when fielding in men’s Tests in 2025, two more than any other team this year; although, they made four run outs across their first two matches this year and have logged just two in their five games since then.
- Kane Williamson (New Zealand) has scored 1,625 runs at an average of 65 across his last 27 Test innings in New Zealand, including 50+ in each of his last three innings at Hagley Oval (51, 93, 61).
- Jayden Seales (West Indies) has taken 14 wickets at an average of 32.1 across his last nine Test innings; although, he has gone wicketless in each of his last two innings in that span – the first time he’s done so in back-to-back innings in his career in the format.
- Matt Henry (New Zealand) has taken 105 wickets at an average of 20.3 across his last 38 Test innings, recording at least one wicket in each of those 38 innings; he’s taken 16 wickets at an average of 9.1 across all his four innings in the format in 2025.
- Shai Hope (249) is one away from becoming the 16th player to reach 250 appearances for West Indies in men’s international cricket (Test/ODI/T20I); he scored 103 runs in his most recent Test innings (October 2025 vs India) – his first hundred in the format since August 2017 against England.
