- This will be just the seventh meeting in men’s T20Is between Afghanistan and Scotland; the Afghans have won each of the previous six games played in this fixture.
- This will be just the fourth meeting in men’s T20Is between Afghanistan and Scotland in Sharjah and the first since the Afghans ran out to a 17-run win against the Scottish in November 2013.
- Afghanistan are currently on a 16-game winning streak in men’s T20I matches played in the United Arab Emirates; the longest such streak by any full-member side in a particular country.
- Scotland are currently on a three-match winning streak in men’s T20Is; only once have they endured a longer winning run in the format (March 2016 – Jan 2017) when the Scottish won four games in a row.
- Afghanistan batters have a collective batting average of 34 since the beginning of 2021 in men’s T20Is, only Nepal (51) have a better such rate than the Afghans in the format this year.
- Scotland have a bowling dot ball rate of 36% in the ICC Men’s T20 World cup, the poorest rate of any participating nation in the history of the tournament (min. 5 games).
- Scotland had a catch success rate of 87% in Round 1 of the ongoing T20 World Cup, having caught 20 of their 23 chances presented to them, the best rate among all teams in that stage of the tournament.
- Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) is just five scalps short of becoming the third bowler in men’s T20Is to take 100 wickets (Lasith Malinga & Shakib Al Hasan); if he does reach the milestone against Scotland (51 matches), he will become the fastest bowler to bag 100 wickets in T20Is, beating Lasith Malinga’s record of 76 matches.
- Calum MacLeod (Scotland) is the only non-keeping fielder who has caught five catches in the ongoing T20 World Cup without dropping a single chance presented to him.
- Mohammad Shahzad requires 64 more runs to score 2000 runs in men’s T20I cricket and become the first Afghani batter to score that many runs in the format; if he does reach the milestone against Scotland in what will be his 66th match, he will become the fourth fastest batter overall to achieve the landmark.
