Rating New Zealand's Test record against all Test-playing nations

Sri Lanka

New Zealand have won two and drawn one of the last three-Test series against Sri Lanka

Played – 32, Won – 14, Lost – 8, Drawn – 10, Win Percentage – 43.75%

New Zealand have maintained a brilliant record against Sri Lanka in Test match cricket, winning a brilliant 43.75% of their 32 matches. There was a time when Muttiah Muralitharan and Chaminda Vaas were neck and neck with Daniel Vettori and Shane Bond; and though Stephen Fleming and Nathan Astle could not provide flying starts as Sanath Jayasuriya and company, New Zealand and Sri Lanka formed two evenly matched units.

But the recent past favours the Black Caps, who have not lost a Test series to Sri Lanka since 2009, winning two and drawing one of their last three series. Certainly, Kane Williamson and company hold a clear edge over Angelo Mathews and his group.
