- Sri Lanka have won two of their last three women’s ODIs against New Zealand (L1), including an eight-wicket victory in their most recent meeting (3 July 2023); they had lost all their 10 meetings against the White Ferns in the format prior to that span.
- New Zealand have won only one of their last eight women’s ODIs (L7) – a 76-run victory against India (27 October 2024); the White Ferns have lost each of their three games since then.
- Sri Lanka defeated Ireland by eight wickets in their most recent women’s ODI away from home (20 August 2024); they will be aiming for back-to-back wins in such fixtures for the first time since October 2010.
- New Zealand have won only one of their last six women’s ODIs at home (T1 L4) – a seven-wicket victory against England (7 April 2024); the White Ferns have lost each of their two games since then, the last time they recorded a longer losing run in such fixtures was a three-match span in March 2022.
- Sri Lanka have taken at least one wicket during the powerplay in each of their last six women’s ODI bowling innings (10 wickets in total); they had logged just four wickets during this phase across their six innings prior to that span.

- Suzie Bates (49) is one away from becoming just the third player to record 50 scores of 50+ in women’s ODI history (Mithali Raj – 71 for India, Charlotte Edwards – 55 for England) and the first for New Zealand; she scored 66 runs in her only previous ODI innings at Saxton Oval in Nelson (17 November 2016 v Pakistan).
- Chamari Athapaththu (9) is one away from becoming only the fifth player to record 10 hundreds in women’s ODI history (Meg Lanning – 15 for Australia, Suzie Bates – 13 for New Zealand, Smriti Mandhana – 10 for India, Tammy Beaumont – 10 for England) and the first for Sri Lanka; she’s scored 373 runs at an average of 74.6 across her last seven ODI innings against New Zealand.
- Jess Kerr (49) is one away from becoming the 18th player to take 50 wickets for New Zealand in women’s ODIs; she’s taken 15 wickets at an average of 18.4 across her last eight ODI innings in New Zealand.
- Harshitha Samarawickrama (Sri Lanka) has scored 219 runs across her last three women’s ODI innings (105, 48*, 66*) and has not been dismissed in each of her last two innings in that span; it’s the second time she’s logged consecutive innings in the format without being dismissed (45* - 4 May 2023 v Bangladesh and 4* - 27 June 2023 v New Zealand).
