- This will be just the second men’s T20I meeting between Papua New Guinea and Uganda, with PNG winning the first clash by an eight-wicket margin; the game was part of the Qualifiers for the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
- Papua New Guinea have lost each of their last two men’s T20Is, after winning three in a row prior to that; the last time the Barramundis went on a longer losing run was a stretch of nine T20Is between November 2019 and March 2022.
- Uganda have lost two of their last three men’s T20Is (W1), including a 125-run loss in their first match of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup; the last time the Cranes lost back-to-back games in the format was a stretch of two in July 2022, with the first loss coming against Papua New Guinea (12 July 2022).
- Uganda have lost just two of their last 15 men’s T20Is when batting first on the day (W13), including each of the last six on the bounce; the losses in this run came against Namibia (by 6 wickets in November 2023) and Tanzania (by 3 wickets in August 2023).
- Papua New Guinea have lost just two of their last 10 men’s T20Is when batting second on the day (W8), including a loss against Malaysia (by 63 runs) in their most recent such match; in fact, the only time they have beaten a full-member side when chasing was in their first ever such instance (2-wicket win over Ireland in July 2015).
- Uganda have registered 32 wins in men’s T20Is since the start of 2023, the most by any side during this span and 18 more than Papua New Guinea (14 wins); in fact, only Bermuda (91%) have better win percentage than the Cranes (84%) among sides than have played at least 10 games since 2023.
- Sese Bau (941 runs) is 59 away from becoming the fourth Papua New Guinea batter to score 1,000 runs in men’s T20Is (Tony Ura – 1,620 runs, Assad Vala – 1,265 runs, and Charles Amini – 1,006 runs); Bau is coming off a 50-run knock in PNG’s first game of the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
- Since the start of 2023, no Uganda bowler has recorded a better strike rate in men’s T20Is than Alpesh Ramjani’ 11.1 (min. 4 innings bowled); in fact, Ramjani (66 wickets) has taken the most wickets for the Cranes in the same span.
- John Kariko (Papua New Guinea) has a bowling economy rate of five in men’s T20Is, the best of any bowler to have bowled in more than five innings for the side; in the same category, only Lega Siaka (10.7) has logged a better bowling average than Kariko (11.6) in the format.
- Simon Ssesazi has struck 67 boundary sixes in men’s T20Is, the most by Uganda player and 11 more than the next best (Dinesh Nakrani & Riazat Ali Shah – 56 each); however, he has failed to hit a six in four of his last six innings in the format.
