- India have lost only one of their last nine men’s T20Is against New Zealand (W7 T1) – a 21-run defeat in January 2023 in Ranchi; they have won their three meetings against the Black Caps in the format since then.
- India have won six of their last seven men’s T20Is (L1), including each of their last three; their only defeat in that span was a 51-run loss against South Africa (11 December 2025 in New Chandigarh).
- New Zealand lost their most recent men’s T20I outside New Zealand (21 January 2026 vs India), snapping a six-match winning run on the road in the format.
- India defeated Australia by 20 runs in the only previous men’s T20I at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur (1 December 2023); Axar Patel was awarded player of the match for his bowling figures of 3-16 for India.
- New Zealand have a bowling average of 21.7 during the powerplay in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2025, the best of any ICC full member team in that time; the Black Caps’ 44 wickets during this period is the third most of any team (Pakistan – 64, Bangladesh – 45).
- Only Bangladesh (60) have hit more sixes during the powerplay than India (59) amongst ICC full member teams in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2025.
- Glenn Phillips (New Zealand) has scored 375 runs at an average of 125 across his last nine T20 batting innings (x6 Major League Cricket, x2 Super Smash, x1 T20I) including 70+ in each of his last two innings in that span (90*, 78); he hasn’t been dismissed in six of those nine innings.
- Abhishek Sharma (India) has scored 565 runs at an average of 43.5 across his last 14 T20I batting innings, including 84 against New Zealand last time out; he’s one away from becoming the sixth player to record 10 scores of 50+ for India in men’s T20I history.
- Jacob Duffy (New Zealand) has taken 17 wickets at a strike rate of 12.3 across his last 10 T20I bowling innings, including 2-27 against India last time out; he’ll be aiming for multiple wickets in consecutive innings in the format outside New Zealand for the first time.
- Hardik Pandya (125) is one away from surpassing Virat Kohli (125) for the outright most appearances for India in men’s T20I history; only Rohit Sharma (159) has recorded more.
