- Australia have won their last four consecutive men’s T20Is against New Zealand after winning only three of their previous seven, equaling the longest winning run of either team in the history of this fixture; their last defeat to the Black Caps was in October 2022.
- Australia have won six of their last seven men’s T20Is against New Zealand in New Zealand including their last four in a row and haven’t lost a meeting against them there since March 2021; indeed, three of their last four such wins have come after they had lost the toss on the day.
- New Zealand are unbeaten in their last four bilateral multi-game men’s T20I series (W2 D2); the Black Caps currently trail this ongoing series 0-1 and failing to win in the third and final game will see them lose their first such series since a 0-3 loss to Australia in February 2024.
- New Zealand’s six-wicket loss to Australia in the first match of this series was just their fourth loss in 13 men’s T20I matches at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, while a pair of losses in January 2018 and February 2020 are the only time they’ve lost consecutive matches at the venue.
- Australia have won 11 of their last 12 men’s T20Is including their last two in a row and are on a six-game winning streak away from home in the format, batting second and successfully chasing down a target in each of those six away victories.
- Australia dropped four catches (from seven attempts) in the first match of this men’s T20I series against New Zealand, their most dropped attempts in a match since dropping five against Afghanistan in June 2024; indeed, Australia have a 73% catch success rate since the beginning of August 2025 which is better than only Sri Lanka (71%) and Afghanistan (70%) among full member nations.
- Australia have had 87% of their dismissed batters lose their wicket within the first 20 balls of their innings in the last 12 months in men’s T20Is, the highest rate of any full member team in the format and more than 10 percentage points higher than New Zealand (76%).
- Tim Seifert (New Zealand) has scored 40+ runs in four of his last five T20I innings when New Zealand have batted second on the day, scoring 255 runs at an average of 85 across that frame including 66 runs unbeaten against South Africa on July 22, 2025 in his last such innings.
- Tim Robinson (New Zealand) has scored 246 runs at an average of 123 across his five T20I innings in 2025, including an unbeaten 106 runs from 66 balls against Australia in the first match of this series; indeed, he has a career batting average of 79 from three innings at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui which is the highest of any batter to play more than a single innings there.
- Tim David (Australia) has scored 303 runs at an average of 75.8 and a strike rate of 207.5 in men’s T20Is in 2025; among batters to have scored at least 300 runs in the format in a calendar year, only Abhishek Sharma (593 runs at strike rate of 208.8 in 2025) has a better strike rate than David.
