Stats - Multiple records for Williamson as New Zealand end South Africa duck

1 - It's New Zealand's first series win against South Africa in men's Test cricket, ending a near 92-year wait. With this, each of the first eight teams to play men's Tests have won at least one series against the other teams.

18 - Men's Test series played by New Zealand against South Africa. It's the second-longest any team has had to wait for a series win against an opposition. New Zealand hold the unwanted record, too, having taken 21 series to end the drought against England.

5 - Hundreds by Kane Williamson in the fourth innings in Test cricket, the joint-highest for any batter, alongside Younis Khan. Four of those five Williamson hundreds have come in successful chases, equalling the record held by Graeme Smith.

172 - Innings batted by Williamson for his 32nd century in Test cricket, a record. Steven Smith was the previous fastest in terms of innings - getting there in 174 innings.

8 - Consecutive fifty-plus scores in Tests that Williamson has converted into centuries. The last time he failed to do so was in the WTC final against India in 2021, where he finished on 52 not out. Only one other batter has a streak longer than him - Don Bradman, with 12.

5 - Williamson has scored a hundred in each of his last five Tests at home, including two in the previous match in Mount Maunganui. Only Bradman (1937-1946) and Smith (2014-2015) had hundreds in five consecutive Test matches at home before him.

9 for 93 - Will O'Rourke's match haul in Hamilton is the best for a New Zealand bowler on Test debut. Mark Craig's 8 for 188 against West Indies in 2014 was the previous best for them.

13 - New Zealand haven't lost 13 consecutive home series since their last series defeat in March 2017 against South Africa. They won ten of the 13 series played in this period, with three ending on level terms.
