- Pakistan defeated New Zealand by 42 runs in their most recent men’s T20I (21 January 2024), snapping a six-match losing run against them in the format.
- Pakistan have lost each of their last two men’s T20Is at home; a third consecutive defeat in this game would equal their longest losing run in such fixtures in the history of the format (L3 in October 2019).
- New Zealand have lost each of their last four men’s T20Is; the last time the Black Caps recorded a longer losing run in the format was a six-match span from February to November in 2018.
- Pakistan have won three of their four men’s T20Is at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium (L1); they have bowled first on the day in each of those three victories – their only defeat in that span came batting first on the day (24 April 2023 v New Zealand).
- New Zealand have a batting good connection rate of 64% in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2023, the second best of any Test playing country in that time (India – 65%).
- Pakistan have a catch success rate of 95% during the powerplay (19/20) in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2023, the second best of any Test playing country in that time (Australia – 22/23, 96%).
- James Neesham (900) is 100 away from becoming the 12th player to score 1,000 runs for New Zealand in men’s T20Is; he was not dismissed in his most recent T20I innings against Pakistan (45* - 24 April 2023).
- Mohammad Rizwan (2,981) is 19 away from becoming the eighth player to score 3,000 runs in men’s T20Is and the second for Pakistan (Babar Azam); if he achieves the milestone in this innings (79*), he’d be the fastest player overall to reach it in the history of the format, surpassing Virat Kohli (81 innings for India) and Babar Azam (81 innings for Pakistan).
- Pakistan’s Babar Azam (72) is one away from surpassing MS Dhoni (72 for India) and Eoin Morgan (72 for England) for the outright second most appearances as captain in men’s T20I history (Aaron Finch – 76 for Australia); only Uganda’s Brian Masaba (W44) has recorded more wins as captain in the history of the men’s format than Babar Azam (W42).
- Ish Sodhi (New Zealand) has taken 21 wickets in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2023; the only spin bowler from a Test playing country to have logged more in that time is his Black Caps teammate Mitchell Santner (22) who isn’t in the squad for this series.
