- New Zealand have now won 12 ODIs on the bounce against Pakistan; their last loss in the format against them coming in December 2014 at Sharjah.
- Pakistan won their first ever meeting with New Zealand at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in 2009, but have since been defeated on five consecutive occasions by the Black Caps at the Abu Dhabi venue.
- Pakistan have now lost their last two games on the bounce at Sheikh Zayed Stadium; the last time they lost more was a four-game stretch across 2013 and 2014.
- Pakistan will be looking to avoid a series defeat in this match; they had won three of their previous four bilateral ODI series heading into this one.
- New Zealand currently enjoy a win rate of 73% (8/11) in ODIs in 2018; only once in their history in the format have they finished a calendar year with a higher win rate having played more than five games (83% in 2004).
- New Zealand will be looking to wrap up the series with a victory in this game; the Black Caps have lost their last four bilateral ODI series away from home, last picking up a win in such a series in 2015 against Zimbabwe.
- Pakistan have lost their opening three wickets of the game for an average of just 32 runs across their last six games against New Zealand, including the first ODI of this series in which they scored just eight runs from their first three wickets.
- New Zealand’s Ross Taylor has now hit two centuries and three half-centuries in his last seven ODI innings overall; Taylor is also just 18 runs shy of becoming just the second Black Caps player in ODI history to score 1,000 runs against Pakistan (Stephen Fleming 1,090).
- Shadab Khan’s (Paksitan) four-wicket haul in the first ODI of this series took his career tally against New Zealand to nine; only against Sri Lanka (10) has he taken more scalps.
- New Zealand’s Lockie Ferguson has now taken 10 wickets against Pakistan, thanks to a three-wicket haul in the first game of this series, at an average of 23.9; only against the West Indies (18.0) does he boast a betting bowling average.
