- This will be the seventh T20I meeting between Australia and New Zealand; the Black Caps picking up their first ever win against Australia in the format in their last meeting.
- The only previous meeting between these teams at the Sydney Cricket Ground saw Australia triumph by just one run.
- Australia come into this match having won just two of their last five T20Is and will be looking for back-to-back wins in the format for the first time since September 2016.
- Australia have won three of their previous four games at the Sydney Cricket Ground, though were soundly beaten by seven wickets at the hands of India in their last match there (2016).
- New Zealand head into this series on the back of a brace of losses to Pakistan; the last time they lost more consecutive T20Is was a four-game string from February to July 2012.
- The Black Caps are yet to win in Australia, picking up losses of 54 runs and one run respectively in their only two previous T20Is in the country.
- David Warner has taken 34 outfield catches in T20I cricket, more than any other Australian player and the equal-eighth most of any player in the format overall.
- Martin Guptill is set to line up for his 71st T20I appearance, equalling Brendon McCullum as the second-most capped Black Caps player in the history of the format.
- D'Arcy Short is on the cusp of his T20I debut; the Northern Territory-born striker has hit 158 runs from his two Big Bash League innings in New South Wales, including 61 runs from 29 balls at the Sydney Cricket Ground in December 2016.
- Colin Munro has hit 497 T20I runs and 32 sixes since the beginning of 2017, more than any other player in that period.
