Fifteen years. Nine one-dayers. Eight tests. One twenty20. No losses.
The Black Caps are unbeaten at University Oval and will put that record on the line in game two of the T20 series against Sri Lanka today.
Their spotless record had escaped Black Caps coach Gary Stead, but it might provide some comfort for him.
It is cricket’s version of a penalty shootout and the Black Caps have had their share of heartbreak that way.
But Stead was philosophical about it.
"If there is a super over then it has been a cracker of a game," he said.
"We don’t think too deeply about them. We occasionally practise them and see how we’re going, but they are pretty hard to replicate in the nets when you don’t have fielders.
"It is what is it. I thought we did really well to fight our way back the other day.
"We didn’t quite get over the line with the super over."
Stead was keeping the playing XI under wraps, but Matt Henry and Will Young sat out the opening game and are likely to get a run.
There has just been one T20 international held in Dunedin and that was a run-fest.
Martin Guptill clobbered 97 from 50 balls to help the Black Caps reach 219 for seven in 2021.
Australian all-rounder Marcus Stonis engineered a late charge towards victory with a hard-hit 78 off 37, but his team fell five runs short of its target.
As for the unbeaten record at the University Oval, Stead said that will not "change anything we’ll do out here".
"Really, we turn up, we assess the conditions and our job is to adapt to what is in front of us.
"We’ve got a youngish-looking group that are here with us now, but it is exciting to see them getting the opportunity for New Zealand."
One of those younger players is Auckland left-armer Ben Lister. He has played two T20s and gets his opportunity thanks to a large crew of New Zealanders featuring in the IPL.
The 27-year-old made his debut in India in February and his second match was at his home ground at Eden Park.
"That was pretty special," Lister said.
"I was probably a little bit more nervous for that game to be honest, just knowing my family was in the crowd and wanting to play well for them as well as the team."
He nabbed his first international wicket, too. Charith Asalanka got down on one knee and pulled out the slog sweep to a slower ball which ended in the hands of Tim Seifert at deep-backward square.
"It was not the way I really wanted to get it, but I’ll take it, obviously."
The conditions in Dunedin today are not expected to be as nice as yesterday. The forecast is for cloudy periods, with showers and strong southwesterlies developing in the evening. Late evening, hopefully.
