- Pakistan have won their last two multigame bilateral men’s ODI series against Australia, as many as they logged across all their nine such series against them prior in the format (W2 L7); indeed, this is the first time they’ve recorded consecutive series victories against them in the history of the format.
- Pakistan have won eight of their last nine multigame bilateral men’s ODI series in Pakistan (L1), including each of their last three; their only series defeat at home in that span was a 1-2 loss against New Zealand in in January 2023.
- Australia defeated India 2-1 in their most recent multigame bilateral men’s ODI series (October 2025) after losing each of their three such series prior in the format; three of the four iterations in that span have been decided by an exact 2-1 margin.
- Pakistan are undefeated in their last eight men’s ODIs at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium (W7 T1) – their longest unbeaten run at the venue in the history of the format; their last defeat there was a seven-wicket loss against India in February 2006.
- This is set to be Australia’s first men’s ODI in 2026; they won just one of their four matches outside Australia in the format in 2025 (L3) which was only the third time since the beginning of 2000 they’ve recorded one win or fewer on the road in the format in a calendar year (L5 in 2018 and W1 L7 in 2017).
- This is set to be Pakistan’s 1,000th scheduled men’s ODI; they will be the third team to reach the milestone in the format after India (1,075) and Australia (1,019) – Sri Lanka (943) are the next closest side.
- Mitchell Marsh (Australia) - who is set to play his 100th ODI - has scored 416 runs at an average of 52 across his last nine ODI innings; he scored 121 runs when he last faced Pakistan in the format (20 October 2023), the second highest score in his ODI career (177* v Bangladesh, 11 November 2023).
- Salman Agha (Pakistan) has scored 422 runs at an average of 70.3 across his last eight ODI innings, including 60+ in each of his last two (64, 106); although, he logged only 12 runs in his only previous innings against Australia in the format (4 November 2024).
- Adam Zampa (196) is four away from becoming the seventh player to take 200 wickets for Australia in men’s ODIs; he went wicketless last time out in the format (25 October 2025 vs India) after taking 16 wickets across his eight innings prior.
- Babar Azam (20) is one away from surpassing Saeed Anwar (20) for the outright most 100+ scores for Pakistan in men’s ODIs; he has a batting average of 68.6 against Australia - his second-best against any team he’s faced more than once - and has logged three career centuries against them.
