- Bangladesh, having clinched series victory after four games, will be looking to win a fourth game in a single bilateral men's T20I series for the second time - no other team has managed to do so more than once in the history of the format.
- Bangladesh have won eight of their last 10 men's T20Is (L2), as many as they had won in their 18 matches in the format prior; five of their last eight wins have come after they had lost the toss on the day.
- New Zealand have won only three of their last 11 men's T20Is played in Asia including just one win in their last five matches in the region.
- New Zealand have won seven of their 12 men's T20Is thus far in 2021 and an eighth victory for the year would equal their most ever in a calendar year (W8, L2 in 2016).
- Among Test-playing teams only Sri Lanka (once every 16 balls) have hit a boundary against spin less frequently than Bangladesh (once every 12 balls) in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2021.
- New Zealand have a batting dot ball rate of just 29% at the death (17-20th overs) in men's T20Is in 2021, the lowest rate of any Test-playing nation, while Bangladesh (42%) have the highest rate of any Test-playing team.
- Bangladesh have taken all 10 of their opponents wickets in three of their last five bowling innings in men's T20Is after having done so only once in their 22 innings prior.
- Shoriful Islam (Bangladesh) has taken six wickets on the opening ball of an over in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2021, two more than any other player in the format in that time and four more than New Zealand's best Tim Southee (2).
- Mahmudullah has now scored more runs (487) at a higher average (25.6) than any other Bangladesh player when captain of the men's team; he has scored 97 runs and been dismissed just once in the current series against New Zealand so far.
- Ajaz Patel (New Zealand) has taken eight wickets in this men's T20I series against Bangladesh, the joint-most of any player; in fact, only twice in the history of the format has any Black Caps player taken more wickets in a bilateral men's T20I series (Ish Sodhi - 13 vs Australia in 2021; Mitchell Santner - 11 vs England in 2019).
