- Bangladesh currently lead this men’s Test series against Pakistan 1-0 going into this final match; they will be aiming for consecutive series victories against Pakistan for the first time in the history of the format, following their 2-0 triumph in August 2024.
- Bangladesh defeated Ireland 2-0 in November 2025 in their most recent men’s Test series prior to this iteration against Pakistan; they will be aiming for consecutive series victories in the format for the first time ever in their history (min. 2-game series).
- Pakistan have lost their last six men’s Tests away from home, after winning six of their seven matches on the road in the format prior to that span (L1); a seventh consecutive defeat in this game would equal their longest losing run on the road in the history of the format (L7 from December 2018 to August 2020).
- Bangladesh defeated Ireland by an innings & 47 runs in their most recent men’s Test at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in November 2025; they had won only one of their four matches at the venue in the format prior to that game (L3).
- Pakistan have scored 500+ runs in each of their last two men’s Tests away from home (L2); the last time they recorded a longer such scoring run on the road was a three-match span from May to October in 2017 (W1 L2).
- Bangladesh have taken all 20 of their opposition’s wickets in each of their last three men’s Tests (W3); they will be aiming to do so in four consecutive matches for the first time in the history of the format (also 3 games from October to November in 2014).
- Shan Masood has lost 11 of his 15 matches as captain of Pakistan (W4); only Misbah-ul-Haq (L19) has recorded more defeats as captain of Pakistan in the history of the format (also Inzamam-ul-Haq – L11).
- Mominul Haque (5,006) is 129 away from surpassing Tamim Iqbal (5,134) as the second all-time leading run scorer for Bangladesh in men’s Tests (Mushfiqur Rahim – 6,603); he’s scored 50+ in each of his last five Test innings, a sixth straight 50+ score in his next innings here would be the outright longest such run by any player for Bangladesh in the history of the format (also Tamim Iqbal, 5 innings from March to June in 2010).
- Noman Ali (Pakistan) has a bowling strike rate of 33.9 in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2025, the second best of any player (min. 7 innings) in that time (Mitchell Starc – 30.1 for Australia); although, he’s taken exactly four wickets in each of his last two Test matches after recording more than five wickets in each of his six games prior in the format.
- Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh) has recorded four scores of 100+ in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2025, including 101 last time out in the first match of this series against Pakistan; only Joe Root (5 for England) and Shubman Gill (5 for India) have logged more in that time.
