- New Zealand won by 14 runs in their last women’s T20I against England, ending an eight-game losing streak against them in the format, and will be looking to win back-to-back games against England for the first time since July 2010 and just the second time ever.
- New Zealand are hunting for their first win in a bilateral women’s T20I series against England since July 2010; in fact, the White Ferns will be looking to win a series after losing the first match for the first time since October 2022, when they defeated the West Indies, 3-1.
- This will be the fifth meeting between England and New Zealand in women’s T20Is at County Ground in Hove and the first since July 9, 2024, which was won by the hosts on the day; however, the White Ferns had won all three previous encounters between the teams at this venue.
- England have won their last three consecutive women’s T20Is at County Ground in Hove, including a nine-wicket win against the West Indies in their last fixture there; though, they had won only one of their previous seven games at the venue (L7) with three of those seven losses coming against New Zealand.
- New Zealand have won five of their last six women’s T20Is played away from home after winning only one of their previous 11 games played outside New Zealand; though, they’ve won only one of their last seven matches on the road when they’ve batted second on the day.
- New Zealand have scored an average of 181 runs per innings when they’ve batted first in women’s T20Is since the beginning of 2026, the highest of any team in the format in that time; though, England have lost five of their last six matches in the format when chasing a target of 182 or higher to win and last won such a game on March 25, 2018 (vs India).
- Alice Capsey (England) has hit five sixes from her two T20I innings at County Ground in Hove, more maximums than any other player in the women’s format there; in fact, she’s scored 51 and 28 runs from her two innings at the venue, while her 39.5 average there is her third-best at any venue.
- Lea Tahuhu (99) is one away from becoming the third player to reach 100 wickets for New Zealand in women’s T20Is (Sophie Devine - 128, Melie Kerr - 105); she has taken at least one wicket in five of her last six innings against England, taking seven in total across that stretch.
- Linsey Smith (England) has a bowling economy of 4.4 runs per over in this women’s T20I series against New Zealand, the lowest of any player from either team to bowl more than one single over; she’s also in a three-match wicket streak in the format, including figures of 3/25 in the second match of this series – the second best of her career.
- Sophie Devine (New Zealand) has hit a boundary on 24% of her 79 balls faced in this women’s T20I series against England, the highest rate of any player from either team (min. 4 balls faced).
