SL 5, NZ 0 in World Cups since 2003

15-7 New Zealand's win-loss record in the last year (since the beginning of 2014). Their win-loss ratio of 2.14 is third during this period, next only to Australia (3.40) and South Africa (2.28). Sri Lanka are fourth, with a ratio of 2.14.

5 Number of consecutive World Cup games in which Sri Lanka have beaten New Zealand: once in 2003, and twice each in 2007 and 2011, including the semi-finals of both years. The last time New Zealand beat Sri Lanka in a World Cup game was in the 1992 tournament in New Zealand, when the hosts won by six wickets in Hamilton. Overall, Sri Lanka have a 6-3 advantage in World Cup games against New Zealand.

21-11 New Zealand's win-loss record in home ODIs against Sri Lanka. However, that's largely because New Zealand won the first nine matches, in the 1980s and early 1990s. Since then, the record is a more even 12-11. The overall advantage is also negligible: 41-40 in New Zealand's favour.

8.82 New Zealand's batting run rate between the 41st and 50th overs of an ODI innings since the beginning of 2013, which is the best by far among all teams.

New Zealand have only one century partnership in 43 innings during this period, and their last five opening stands read as follows: 43, 31, 0, 0, 0.
