- South Africa have lost only one of their last 18 men’s Tests against New Zealand (W11 D6) – an innings and 276-run defeat in February 2022; the Proteas won their most recent meeting and will be aiming for back-to-back wins against the Black Caps in the format for the first time since January 2013.
- New Zealand have won four of their last five men’s Tests (L1); the Black Caps had won only two of their 12 matches in the format prior to that span (D3 L7).
- South Africa are winless in their last five men’s Tests away from home (D1 L4); the Proteas’ last victory on the road in the format was an innings and 12-run win against England at Lord’s in August 2022.
- This will be New Zealand’s fifth men’s Test at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui; the Black Caps have lost each of their last two matches at the venue, after winning each of their first two fixtures in the format there.
- New Zealand have a batting false shot rate of 21.3% in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2023, the third best of any team in that time (Sri Lanka – 20.2%; India – 21%).
- South Africa have a bowling strike rate of 40.9 in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2023, the best of any team in that time.
- Neil Brand (South Africa) is set to become only the fourth player since the beginning of 2000 to captain a team in their men’s Test debut (Naimur Rahman – Bangladesh, William Porterfield – Ireland, Asghar Afghan – Afghanistan) and the first to do so for South Africa since Alan Melville in 1938.
- Mitchell Santner (47) is three away from taking 50 wickets for New Zealand in men’s Tests; his Test bowling average in 2023 (19.3) was his best in a calendar year in his career.
- Glenn Phillips has scored 22.2% of New Zealand’s runs when he’s played in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2023, the third-best rate (min. 3 innings) of any player for a team in that time (Yashasvi Jaiswal – 22.5% for India; Aiden Markram – 22.4% for South Africa).
- Kane Williamson (New Zealand) has faced 98.4 balls per innings in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2023, the third most (min. 3 innings) of any player in that time (Saud Shakeel – 109.5 for Pakistan and Usman Khawaja – 107.3 for Australia).
