- New Zealand have won eight of their last 10 men’s T20Is against Pakistan including their last two on the bounce; though, four of their eight wins in that stretch came after they had lost the toss on the day.
- New Zealand will be looking to win this game and clinch the current men’s T20I series which currently stands 2-1 in favour of the Black Caps; it would make it the first time New Zealand have ever won back-to-back bilateral men’s T20I series against Pakistan after also defeating them 4-1 in January 2024.
- Pakistan have lost eight of their last 10 men’s T20Is including their last two in a row and have lost six of their eight games played so far in 2024 – as many as they lost through the whole of 2023 (6).
- New Zealand have won four of their last five men’s T20Is away from home including their last two in a row after having won only four of their previous 11 games on the road in the format.
- New Zealand have won two of their four previous men’s T20Is at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and have a team batting average of 20.3 runs per wicket there – the lowest of any team.
- Pakistan have scored 29.7% of their runs through singles in men’s T20Is in 2024, the second-highest rate of any full member team in that period behind only Ireland (30.6%); indeed, only Afghanistan’s Ibrahim Zadran (91) has scored more singles then Pakistan duo Babar Azam (87) and Mohammad Rizwan (85) among full-member teams this year.
- Shaheen Afridi (Pakistan) has a bowling dot ball rate of 53.7% in the ongoing men’s T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand, making him the only player to feature in more than one game in the series and have a dot ball rate of 50% or higher.
- Mark Chapman (New Zealand) has a batting average of 61.5 at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore in men’s T20Is which is the highest of any batter to participate in more than three innings at the venue; in fact, only at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium (281) does he have a higher average among venues he’s batted at more than once.
- Pakistan duo Iftikhar Ahmed (83.3%) and Babar Azam (82.6%) are the only batters from either squad with a good connection rate above 80% in the current men’s T20I series against New Zealand; in fact, Babar Azam has made a strong connection of 32.6% of his 46 balls faced in the series to date.
- Ish Sodhi (New Zealand) had 135 career wickets to his name in men’s T20Is and needs just five more to equasl Shakib Al Hasan (140) for the most of any spin bowler in the history of the format (Shakib Al Hasan 140, Rashid Khan 138, Ish Sodhi 135); though, he has finished three of his last five innings without a wicket.
