92 Percentage of Test matches that have yielded a result at the P Sara Oval over the last 20 years, the best for any Test venue in the world (min. 10 Tests). There have been 12 Tests played at the P Sara Oval in this period with 11 of those having a winner.
6 Number of golden ducks for Kumar Sangakkara, the joint-most along with Sanath Jayasuriya, for any top-order batsman (Nos. 1 to 7) from Sri Lanka. This was also his sixth duck in Colombo - three at the P Sara Oval and three at the Sinhalese Sports Club. Overall, Sangakkara has scored 11 ducks during his Test career.
5.77 Sri Lanka's run rate during the fourth innings of this Test, their best ever in the fourth innings (min. 25 overs). In fact, this is the fourth-best run rate in Test history for any team in the fourth innings.
5 Number of years since a Sri Lankan pacer has won a man-of-the-match award. Dhammika Prasad was named man of the match for his seven wickets in this Test. The last Sri Lankan pacer to do this was Lasith Malinga against India in 2010, in Galle
50 Number of Test matches that Sri Lanka have now won at home, making New Zealand the only top-eight team without 50 Test wins at home.
7 The run rate during Sri Lanka's opening stand in the fourth innings (49 runs off 42 balls), the second-best in Test history for any Sri Lankan pair playing more than five overs in a Test innings. The only time when they scored at a better rate was when Jayasuriya and Marvan Atapattu scored 144 runs off 118 balls (run rate of 7.32) against Bangladesh in 2001.
