- India have won each of their completed six men’s T20Is against Afghanistan, including the two previous games in this series; only against Ireland have the Men in Blue won more games without losing in the format (P7 W7).
- India have won eight of their last nine men’s T20Is at home (L1), including each of the last four on the bounce; the last time the Men in Blue registered a longer such winning streak in the format was a run of 11 straight wins between March 2021 and February 2022.
- Afghanistan have now lost consecutive men’s T20Is in India for the first time since losing three such games in succession in March 2016; the Afghans had lost just one of their 16 prior men’s T20Is in India (W14 D1).
- India have now won each of their last six multi-game bilateral men’s T20I series at home and are unbeaten in 15 such series (W13 D2); a win in the last game of the ongoing series against Afghanistan will see the Men in Blue secure their first sweep in such series since they beat Sri Lanka 3-0 in February 2022.
- No team has logged a higher bowling dot ball rate during the Powerplay overs in men’s T20Is since the start of 2023 than Afghanistan (53.1%) and India (52.7%) among full-member sides.
- 66% of the runs scored by Afghanistan during the slog overs (overs 17-20) in men’s T20Is since the start of 2023 have come from boundaries, the highest such aggregate for any full-member team in this span; India rank third in this category (65.1%) behind Pakistan (65.7%).
- Yashasvi Jaiswal (India) has a batting strike rate of 164 in men’s T20Is, the third highest of any batter from a full-member nation (min. 400 runs scored) behind Suryakumar Yadav (172) and Phil Salt (166).
- Najibullah Zadran (99) is set to play his 100th men’s T20I for Afghanistan, he would become just the second player to achieve the milestone after Mohammad Nabi.
- Axar Patel (49) is one away from becoming the ninth bowler to take 50 wickets for India in men’s T20Is; he has taken one wicket in each of his last six innings in the format, including two wickets each in both the two previous games in the ongoing series against Afghanistan.
- Afghanistan’s Fazalhaq Farooqi has logged a bowling economy rate of 5.7 during the Powerplay overs in men’s T20Is since the start of 2023, the best such rate for any bowler from a full-member side during this phase of the innings (min. 12 overs bowled).
