- Pakistan are undefeated in their eight previous men’s Tests against Australia at the National Stadium in Karachi (W5, D3); though, this will be their first meeting at the venue since October 1998 when the teams played out a draw.
- Pakistan have only lost two of their 43 previous men’s Tests played at the National Stadium in Karachi since their first game there in February 1955 (W23, D18); though, both of those defeats have come since the beginning of 2000.
- Australia have won only two of their last 11 men’s Tests played away from home (D3, L6), with both of their wins in that span coming in England in 2019; their last win in a men’s Test in Asia came in September 2017 against Bangladesh at Chattogram.
- Australia are undefeated in their last six men’s Tests (W4, D2); the last time they went longer without a loss in the format was a seven-game stretch from September 2017 to March 2018 (W6, D1).
- Australia’s pace attack bowled 10% of their deliveries on a short length in the first game of this men’s Test series against Pakistan, their highest rate in six Tests; their bowling economy rate of 1.5 on short deliveries was their best in a game since September 2019 against England (1.3).
- Pakistan have a batting average of 54.7 against spin in men’s Test since the beginning of 2021, the highest rate of any team in that time; Australia (42.2) are ranked third behind Pakistan and Afghanistan (52).
- Babar Azam (Pakistan) has a Test batting average of 65.7 from four innings at the National Stadium in Karachi, his second highest at any venue where he has batted in more than two innings (Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium – 91.5).
- Azhar Ali (6,906) is 94 runs away from becoming the fifth player to score 7,000 runs for Pakistan in men’s Tests; he has four career centuries to his name against Australia in the format include a knock of 185 runs in the first game of this ongoing series.
- Usman Khawaja (Australia) has logged a century and five half centuries across his last eight Test innings against Pakistan, including a knock of 97 runs in the first games of this current men’s Test series; indeed, Khawaja’s 74.1 batting average against them is his best against any team he’s faced more than twice.
