- Australia have lost only one of their last 10 men’s Tests against Pakistan (W6 D3) – a 373-run loss in October 2018; they are undefeated in their five meetings in the format since then (W3 D2).
- Australia have lost only one of their last 25 men’s Tests at home against Pakistan (W19 D5) – a 74-run defeat in Sydney in December 1995; they have won their 14 such fixtures since then.
- Pakistan have won six of their last seven men’s Tests away from home (L1), including each of their last two; their only defeat in that span was a 246-run loss against Sri Lanka (July 2022).
- Australia have won all their three men’s Tests at Perth Stadium, batting first on the day in each of those three matches; only at Old Wanderers Ground in Johannesburg (W2 D3) have they played more games at a single venue in the history of the format without losing.
- Pakistan have a batting good connection rate of 75% in men’s Tests in 2023, the best of any team this year and nine percentage points more than Australia (66%).
- Australia have dropped 42 catch attempts in men’s Tests in 2023, 11 more than any other team this year; their 70% catch success rate (96/138) is the second lowest of any team in the format this year (Ireland – 13/20 – 65%).
- Travis Head (2,904) is 96 away from scoring 3,000 runs for Australia in men’s Tests; Head has scored 50+ in three of his five Test innings at Perth Stadium (58, 19, 56, 5, 99).
- Steven Smith (32) is one away from recording the outright second most hundreds for Australia in men’s Tests (Ricky Ponting – 41, Steve Waugh 32); Smith has not been dismissed across his last two Test innings at Perth Stadium (200*, 20*).
- Nathan Lyon (496) is four away from becoming the third player to take 500 wickets in men’s Tests for Australia (Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath) and the eighth overall; however, Lyon’s Test bowling average against Pakistan (46.6) is his highest against any team.
- Babar Azam (49) is one away from reaching 50 appearances in men’s Tests for Pakistan; he has scored 50+ in each of his last three Test innings against Australia (196, 67, 55).
