- New Zealand have lost only one of their last 12 men’s Tests against West Indies (W9 D2) and are undefeated across their last seven meetings (W6 D1) – the last time the Black Caps recorded a longer unbeaten run against them in the format was a 10-match span from April 1996 to December 2008 (W5 D5).
- New Zealand are undefeated in their last five men’s Tests (W4 D1) including all four of their matches in the format in 2025 (W3 D1); this is set to be the Black Caps’ last Test this year – the last time they completed a calendar year in the format without losing was in 1991 (D3).

- New Zealand have won three of their five men’s Tests at Bay Oval (L2), including a 281-run victory in their most recent match at the venue (February 2024 vs South Africa); all three of the Black Caps’ wins in that span have come after losing the coin toss on the day.
- New Zealand (57.4%) and West Indies (59.2%) have the lowest batting good connection rates of any teams in men’s Tests in 2025; although, the Black Caps’ collective batting average (47.5) is the best of any team.

- Only Zimbabwe’s Sean Williams (21.1%) has scored a higher percentage of their team’s runs when they’ve played in men’s Tests in 2025 (min. 6 innings) than New Zealand’s Devon Conway (19%) and West Indies’ Shai Hope (18.8%).
- Rachin Ravindra (New Zealand) has made a strong connection on 14.4% of his 353 balls faced in men’s Tests in 2025, the highest rate of any player (min. 200 balls faced); he holds the record for the highest score in a men’s Test innings at Bay Oval (240 vs South Africa in February 2024).
- Brandon King (West Indies) has scored 71.3% of his 202 runs from boundaries in men’s Tests in 2025, the best rate of any player (min. 150 runs scored); he’s hit 14 boundaries across his last four Test innings (13 4s and a six), logging at least three boundaries in three of those four innings.
- Jacob Duffy (New Zealand) has a bowling dot ball rate of 80.6% from 685 balls bowled in men’s Tests in 2025, the best rate of any player (min. 220 balls bowled); his career Test bowling strike rate against West Indies (41.5) is the third best of any Black Caps player (min. 12 wickets) in the history of the format (Chris Cairns – 30, Shane Bond – 38.3).
