- This will be the first ever men’s T20I game between Australia and Afghanistan, with the Afghans the 12th different opponent the Baggy Greens will be facing in the format.
- Afghanistan have lost each of their last five men’s T20Is, their longest losing streak ever in the format. Indeed, the Afghans are the only team among all the 16 participants in the 2022 T20 World Cup to have not won a single game in the tournament.
- Australia have won just two of their five men’s T20Is at Adelaide Oval (L3), with their win rate of 40% here being their lowest at any home ground with more than one game played in the format.
- Afghanistan have lost each of their last four games in the men’s T20 World Cup; only once have they lost more consecutive games in the competition, a run of five games from May 2010 to March 2014.
- Afghanistan have registered a batting dot ball rate of 39% during the slog overs (overs 17-20) in men’s T20Is in 2022, the highest such rate among all full-member sides of the ICC.
- Australia have scored 60% of their runs from boundaries during the middle overs (overs 7-16) in the ongoing T20 World Cup, the highest such aggregate among all teams.
- Afghanistan have registered a catch success rate of 64% in the ongoing T20 World Cup, the lowest among all teams. Indeed, they have dropped four of the 11 opportunities presented to them in the tournament.
- Australian duo of Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins have induced a false shot rate of 48.9% and 47% respectively from batters in men’s T20Is in 2022, the highest and third highest such rate among bowlers with at least 100 balls bowled this year (Anrich Nortje – 47.1%).
- Mujeeb Ur Rahman (48) is two wickets away from becoming the third bowler to take 50 wickets for Afghanistan in men’s T20Is. Indeed, Rahman has taken two or more wickets in five of his last eight games in the format.
- Only South Africa’s Quinton de Kock (76%) has scored a higher percentage of runs from boundaries than Australia’s Mitchell Marsh (72%) in the ongoing T20 World Cup (min. 50 balls faced).
