- Pakistan defeated Australia 2-1 when they last met in a multigame bilateral men’s ODI series (April 2022), snapping a six-series losing run against them; the last and only time they recorded back-to-back series victories against Australia was their first two such series in the history of the format (2-0 – October 1982 and 1-0 – October 1988).
- Australia have won each of their last five multigame bilateral men’s ODI series at home, including each of the last three by a 3-0 margin; a sixth consecutive series victory at home would be their outright longest winning run in such series in the history of the format (also W6 from February 2013 to January 2017).
- Pakistan have won eight of their last 10 multigame bilateral men’s ODI series (L2), including each of their last two; their only defeats in that span were a 1-2 loss against New Zealand (January 2023) and a 0-3 loss against England (July 2021).
- Australia have won each of their last two men’s ODIs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, after losing three consecutive matches at the venue prior to that span; Pakistan defeated Australia by six wickets in their most recent ODI meeting at the venue (15 January 2017).
- Pakistan have a batting false shot rate of 22.9% in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2023, the best of any full member country in that time; in addition, their collective batting average (37.1) is the second best of any team (India – 39.9).
- Australia have scored 57.4% of their runs from boundaries in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2023, the best rate of any Test playing country in that time; although, their batting dot ball rate (51.9%) is ranked sixth during this period.
- Glenn Maxwell (3,934) is 66 away from becoming the 19th player to score 4,000 runs for Australia in men’s ODIs; although, he’s scored fewer than 10 runs in four of his last five ODI innings (1, 2*, 7, 30, 2) and was dismissed for zero runs on his first ball when he last faced Pakistan in the format (20 October 2023 – ICC Cricket World Cup).
- Babar Azam (19) is one away from equaling Saeed Anwar (20) for the most hundreds for Pakistan in men’s ODIs; he’s scored 80+ in two of his last three ODI innings in Australia (84, 31, 100), including a century in his most recent innings in the country (100 v Australia – 26 January 2017 at Adelaide Oval).
- Jake Fraser-McGurk (Australia) has a batting strike rate of 221.7 from 23 balls faced in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2023, the second best of any player (min. 10 balls faced) in that time (Rishad Hossain – 245.5 from 22 balls faced for Bangladesh).
- Marnus Labuschagne (Australia) has made six run outs when fielding in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2023 – two more than any other player from a Test playing country in that time; in addition, his 25 catches during this period is the most of any player for Australia.
