- Australia have lost just one of their last 29 men's Tests against New Zealand (W21, D7); they won the first Test of this series by a margin of 296 runs, their second biggest victory by runs against the Black Caps in the format (297 in Auckland, March 1974).
- This will be the fourth men's Test between Australia and New Zealand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and first since December 1987, Australia are yet to be beaten in such fixtures (W1, D2).
- New Zealand will be looking to avoid consecutive defeats in men's Test cricket for the first time since a four-match span in August-October 2016, following their loss to Australia last time out.
- Australia have won their last three men's Tests on the bounce, they haven't won more in succession since a four-match span in September-December 2017.
- Seven of New Zealand's last nine men's Tests away from home have been won by the toss winner, the Black Caps picking up three victories in that span (L6).
- Australia lost their most recent men's Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (December 2018 v India), only their third defeat at the venue since 2000 (W14, D2); the last time they tasted back-to-back defeats at the MCG in the format was in 1981 (against India and Pakistan).
- Australia's Mitchell Starc and New Zealand's Neil Wagner (4 each respectively) have the most five-wicket innings hauls of all players in men's Test cricket in 2019, Afghanistan's Rashid Khan (3) is the only other bowler with more than two this year.
- Ross Taylor (New Zealand - 7,124) requires 49 runs to become the all-time leading scorer for the Black Caps in men's Test cricket (Stephen Fleming - 7,172), his Test batting average (47.2) is second only to Kane Williamson (52.2) amongst New Zealand players in the format's history (min. 20 innings).
- Steve Smith (Australia) has scored more runs against right-arm seam than any other batsman in men's 2019 Test matches (546), averaging an impressive 109 in the process; he's been out three times for just 44 runs versus left-arm seam however, two of which coming in the 1st Test (Wagner in both innings).
- Colin de Grandhomme finished the first Test of this series between Australia and New Zealand with a bowling dot ball percentage of 84%, the highest of any player; it's his second consecutive Test with a dot ball rate above 80% after having not done so in any of his four Test appearances prior.
