- India have won their last four multigame bilateral men’s T20I series against New Zealand; the Black Caps had won two of all the three series between them in the format prior to that span (L1).
- Four of New Zealand’s last five multigame bilateral men’s T20I series outside New Zealand have ended in a draw including each of the last three series; the Black Caps defeated United Arab Emirates 2-1 in the only exception in that span (August 2023).
- India have lost only one of their last 24 multigame bilateral men’s T20I series (W21 D2) – a 2-3 defeat against West Indies in August 2023; they are undefeated in their 11 series since then (W10 D1) and have won their last eight, a ninth consecutive win in this iteration would be their outright longest winning run in such series in the history of the format (also W8 from June 2022 to February 2023).
- India have won their last three men’s T20Is at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Jamtha, after losing their only two matches at the venue in the format prior to that span.

- Only Afghanistan (42.8%) have a better bowling dot ball rate in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2025 than India (42.7%) and New Zealand (42.5%) amongst ICC full member teams.
- Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand) has a batting dot ball rate of 23.8% from 210 balls faced in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2025, the best of any player from an ICC full member team in that time (min. 40 balls faced).
