- Papua New Guinea have qualified for their second men’s T20 World Cup after winning all six of their matches in their East Asia-Pacific Qualifier; they lost all three of their matches at their only previous appearance at the 2021 men’s T20 World Cup, failing to qualify for the Super 12 stage.
- West Indies have won their last four men’s T20Is, including a 3-0 series win over South Africa in May 2024; the last time they won more consecutive matches in the format was a five-match streak from June to September in 2017.
