- Australia are yet to lose against England in men's T20I bilateral multi-game series (W1 D2); this is set to be the first such series between these two sides since 2014, however.
- England are undefeated in their last six men's T20I bilateral series (W5, D1 - includes one-off meetings); however, the only drawn series in that run came in the recent encounters with Pakistan (1-1).
- Australia have won their last four multi-game bilateral men's T20I series on the bounce, their longest winning run in the format - they performed a series 'clean sweep' in three of those four iterations.
- England have won three of their previous five men's T20Is at the Ageas Bowl (L2), with one win (100 runs - 13 June 2005) and one defeat (39 runs - 29 August 2013) against Australia in that span.
- Aaron Finch (1,989) is 11 runs away from becoming the second player to score 2,000 for Australia in men's T20Is (David Warner - 2,207); he has hit the joint-most sixes against England of any player in the format (30 - also Chris Gayle).
- Eoin Morgan (England) is one appearance away from his 50th as captain in a men's T20I, only two players have previously achieved the milestone in the format (MS Dhoni - India and William Porterfield - Ireland).
- Glenn Maxwell (Australia) has hit 11 boundaries (4 6s, 7 4s) facing slower balls in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2017, only Rohit Sharma (10 - 6 6s, 4 4s) has also made double figures in that time among players from Test-playing nations.
- Jos Buttler (England) scored 57 in his last men's T20I innings (16 February 2020 v South Africa), the last and only time he accumulated back-to-back half-centuries in the format was against Australia (61) and India (69) in 2018.
- Mitchell Starc (Australia) has taken eight wickets in the powerplay overs of men's T20Is since the start of 2019, only two seamers (from Test-playing outfits) have taken more in this period (Deepak Chahar and Lasith Malinga - 9 each).
- Chris Jordan (61) needs four wickets to equal Stuart Broad (65) for the most wickets in men's T20Is for England; he took 3/42 the last time he faced Australia (27 June 2018) - his career-best figures against them in the format.
