- Australia have won their last two multigame bilateral men’s T20I series against Pakistan (3-0 in November 2024 and 2-0 in November 2019); Pakistan had won all their three such series in the format prior to that span.
- Pakistan are undefeated in their last three multigame bilateral men’s T20I series (W2 D1); the last time Pakistan recorded a longer unbeaten run in such series was a span of nine from September 2016 to November 2018 (W9).
- Australia are undefeated in their last five multigame bilateral men’s T20I series away from home (W4 D1) – their joint-longest unbeaten run on the road in such series in the history of the format (also five series streak – W3 D2).
- Pakistan have won their last six men’s T20Is at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore; a seventh consecutive win in this game would equal their longest winning run at a single venue at home in the history of the format (W7 at National Stadium in Karachi from April 2008 to December 2021).
- Australia have scored 66% of their runs from boundaries in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2025, the best rate of any ICC full member team in that time; indeed, they’ve hit a boundary once every 4.5 balls faced which is the most frequent of any Test playing country in the format during this period.
- Only West Indies (42.2%) have a higher batting dot ball rate than Pakistan (40.5%) amongst ICC full member teams in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2025.
- Only India’s Ishan Kishan (224.4 from 41 balls faced) has a better batting strike rate during the powerplay than Australia’s Tim David (215.6 from 45 balls faced) and Cameron Green (214.7 from 34 balls faced) amongst players from ICC full member teams in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2025 (min. 15 balls faced during powerplay).
- Fakhar Zaman (13) is one away from equaling Mohammad Hafeez (14) for the third most 50+ scores for Pakistan in men’s T20Is (Babar Azam – 41, Mohammad Rizwan – 31); although, he was dismissed for zero runs the last time he faced Australia in the format (5 April 2022).
- Adam Zampa (Australia) has a bowling average of 6.5 during the death overs (17th-20th) in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2025, the second best of any player (min. 5 overs bowled) from an ICC full member team during this period (Kuldeep Yadav – 2.6 for India).
- Babar Azam (Pakistan) has a batting good connection rate of 71.7% from 180 balls faced in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2025, the second best of any player from an ICC full member team (min. 100 balls faced) in that time (Ibrahim Zadran – 73.3% from 475 balls faced for Afghanistan).
