- Pakistan have lost each of their last four men’s T20Is in the United Arab Emirates, their longest losing streak in the format in the country.
- Pakistan have lost each of the first two games of this series, a loss on Monday would see the Shaheens get swept in a multi-game bilateral men’s T20I series for the first time since losing 0-3 to Sri Lanka in October 2019 (min. 3 losses in a series).
- Pakistan have lost each of their last two men’s T20Is at Sharjah Cricket Ground; a loss in the third game of this series will see them lose three straight men’s T20Is at just the fourth venue in Asia after Dubai, Lahore and Mirpur.
- Only India (18) have effected more run-outs in men’s T20Is since the start of 2022 than Afghanistan (16) among full-member sides; Pakistan (11) are ranked fourth in this category.
- Afghanistan spinners have logged a bowling economy rate of 6.3 in men’s T20I matches since the start of 2022, the best such rate among full-member sides during this period.
- Afghanistan’s Fazalhaq Farooqi has taken at least two wickets in each of his three men’s T20Is against Pakistan; Farooqi has a bowling average of nine and a bowling strike of 9.7 against Pakistan in men’s T20Is, both being his best aggregates against any single opponent.
- Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi (1,721) is nine away from becoming the batter with the fifth-most runs in men’s T20Is when coming in to bat in the middle order (No. 4 to 7); Nabi would overtake Ross Taylor (1,729) and Glenn Maxwell (1,724) if he does reach the feat.
