- Pakistan defeated Australia by 22 runs in their most recent men’s T20I (29 January 2026), snapping a seven-match losing run against them; they will be aiming for consecutive wins against them in the format for the first time since October 2018.
- Australia have lost their last three men’s T20Is; the last time they recorded a longer losing run in the format was a four-match span from July to August in 2021.
- Pakistan have won seven of their last eight men’s T20Is at home (L1), including each of their last two; their only defeat in that span was a six-run loss against Sri Lanka (27 November 2025 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium).
- Pakistan have won their last seven men’s T20Is at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore; an eighth consecutive win in this game would be their outright longest winning run at a single venue at home in the history of the format (also W7 at National Stadium in Karachi from April 2008 to December 2021).
- Australia have scored 21.3% of their runs from singles in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2025, the lowest rate of any ICC full member team in that time; indeed, they’ve averaged 2.57 runs per scoring shot which is the best of any Test playing country during this period.
- Pakistan have made 16 run outs when fielding in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2025, the joint-most of any ICC full member team in that time (also Bangladesh – 16); although, only West Indies (56) and Bangladesh (46) have dropped more attempted catches in the field than Pakistan (42).
- Adam Zampa (Australia) has taken 27 wickets at a strike rate of 12.7 across his last 15 T20 bowling innings (x11 T20I, x4 BBL) including figures of 4-24 against Pakistan last time out; it was his fourth innings of 4+ wickets for Australia in men’s T20Is – the joint-most of any player in the history of the format (also Josh Hazlewood – 4).
- Sahibzada Farhan (917) is 83 away from scoring 1,000 runs for Pakistan in men’s T20Is; although, he’s been dismissed for fewer than 10 runs in each of his last two innings in the format (9, 0).
- Cameron Green (Australia) has scored 610 runs at an average of 46.9 across his last 21 T20 batting innings (x13 T20I, x8 IPL) and taken 15 wickets at a strike rate of 15.8 across his last 15 bowling innings in the format (x9 IPL, x6 T20I).
- Saim Ayub (Pakistan) scored 71* against South Africa on 31 October 2025; although, he’s logged just 256 runs at an average of 19.7 across his 13 T20 batting innings since then (x9 T20I, x4 Bangladesh Premier League).
