- Australia have managed to register four victories in their last six men's T20I games versus New Zealand (L2), including a comprehensive 64-run win at this very venue last time out (3 March 2021).
- Australia are yet to taste a men's T20I defeat at Sky Stadium, beating New Zealand at the ground in their two prior outings there (26 February 2010 and 3 March 2021).
- New Zealand have failed to record victory in their last two attempts in men's T20Is at Sky Stadium, logging a tie versus India in January 2020 (losing the resulting Super Over) as well as a 64-run loss in the 3rd T20I of this series; they enjoyed a six-game winning run at the Wellington ground before this current streak.
- Australia have managed to register victories in five of their last seven men's T20I games when batting first (L2), including last time out at this venue against New Zealand (3 March 2021); they have tasted defeat five times in their last six matches when they chase, however (L1).
- New Zealand have a catch success rate of 96% in this series against Australia, logging only one dropped catch (21/22) whilst the tourists have managed to drop four catches across the first three games (80% success rate).
- Ashton Agar comes into this match having become the first Australian to claim six wickets in a men's T20I fixture, claiming figures of 6/30 last time out at Sky Stadium (3 March 2021); no bowler has ever taken more scalps in a men's T20I.
- Martin Guptill (New Zealand) is looking to go above India's Rohit Sharma (2,773) into second in the all-time list of leading men's T20I run scorers, he needs 13 to get there; the Black Cap has scored the most runs in the history of this fixture (357) as well as topping the list for most recorded at Sky Stadium (375).
- Daniel Sams (Australia) has dismissed Martin Guptill with two of the 15 deliveries he has recorded against him in this series, the Kiwi has only been able to post 10 runs in response.
- Tim Southee (New Zealand) has bowled more balls at the 'death' (overs 17-20) than any other player from a Test-playing nation in men's T20Is since 2019 (156), no bowler has picked up more wickets during that phase of matches in that time (12 – level with England's Chris Jordan).
- Matthew Wade (Australia) has scored 21 runs from scoop shots in men's T20Is since the start of last year, the most by any batsman from a Test-playing nation in that time; 12 of those runs coming in this series against New Zealand.
