- This will be the first men’s T20I between the West Indies and Italy; the Men in Maroon have won each of their last three games in the format against ICC associate members, which is their joint-longest such run.
- West Indies have won each of their first three games of an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup for just the third time in competition history, having also done so in 2016 and 2024; indeed, only India and South Africa (11 each) have won more games in the competition than the Men in Maroon since the start of the 2024 edition – eight games.
- West Indies have won each of their last three men’s T20Is in India, tied for their longest such run in the country (also 3 games in March 2016); the Men in Maroon snapped a four-game losing run in men’s T20Is at Eden Gardens in Kolkata with their 35-run win against Scotland in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
- Both of Italy’s losses in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 have come at Eden Gardens in Kolkata; never have they lost all of their first three men’s T20Is at a single venue, while they have lost three straight games in the format at a venue only once (3 losses at Desert Springs Cricket Ground, Almeria in November 2022).
- Italy have held on to 17 of their 18 catches during ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, with their catch success rate of 94.4% being the highest of any side in the competition; West Indies themselves have logged a catch success rate of 90% in the competition (18 out of 20 chances caught).
- West Indies batters have scored runs at a strike rate of 121.1 during the powerplay overs in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, tied for the third lowest by any side in the competition with only Oman (113.9) and Nepal (118.8) striking at a lesser rate in this period; in comparison, Italy batters have scored runs at a strike rate of 156.5 during the powerplay overs in the competition.
- Brandon King (1,939) is 61 runs away from becoming the third West Indies batter to reach 2,000 runs in men’s T20Is after Nicholas Pooran (2,275 runs) and Rovman Powell (2,150 runs); King has scored 60+ runs eight times in the format, but only once in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history (62* vs Ireland in 2022).
- Ben Manenti (Italy) has logged a bowling dot ball rate of 51.7% in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the second best such rate of any bowler from an associate nation in the tournament (Shah Faisal – 52.1%).
- Jason Holder’s spell of 4/27 in West Indies’ last game against Nepal was his best performance in an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup game; Holder has taken six four-wicket hauls in men’s T20Is, twice as many as any West Indies bowler and the joint-most by any pacer from an ICC full member nation (also Umar Gul).
- Italy’s Grant Stewart has scored 81% of his 47 runs during ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 from boundaries, the highest by any batter from an associate nation (min. 30 runs scored); indeed, he has hit a six every 5.8 balls in the tournament, the most often of any Italy batter.
