- Australia and India have registered one victory apiece in multi-game bilateral men's T20I series against each other (D3); Aaron Finch's men running out 2-0 winners in the last series between these sides (February 2019) - India will win this series, if they record a victory in this match.
- India have registered six victories in their last seven men's T20I outings in Australia (L1); all nine fixtures between these sides in the country have been won after losing the toss.
- India have a 100% winning record in men's T20Is against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground; they have managed to win both prior encounters at the famous venue in this format (January 2016 and November 2018).
- Australia come into this match having suffered defeat in their most recent men's T20I outing at the Sydney Cricket Ground; they have never logged back-to-back losses at the S.C.G. in this format, however.
- India have gone nine matches unbeaten in men's T20I cricket (W7 T2 - winning both of those fixtures in a Super Over); it is their longest ever such run in the format.
- Australia have recorded only one successful review in men's T20I cricket since the start of 2019, a rate of 8% (1/12) whilst India have managed to register a rate of 27% across the same period (3/11).
- Australia's bowlers pitched 34 of their legal balls on a half volley length or fuller in the series opener at Manuka Oval, India only recorded 19 deliveries during their reply with the ball in hand.
- India's KL Rahul (1,044) is one of only two men to record 1,000 runs in T20 cricket during this calendar year (Babar Azam, 1,242); no batsman has posted more men's T20I half-centuries in 2020 than Rahul (4 - level with Dawid Malan and Babar Azam).
- Of the spinners to register more than 10+ men's T20I innings, only Harhajan Singh (6.2) has a better economy rate than Washington Sundar for India (6.8); he recorded more dot balls than anyone else in the 1st T20I (13) and only one of his 24 deliveries went to the boundary.
- Moises Henriques heads into this match having become only the second Australian player to take 3+ wickets and score 30+ runs against India in a men's T20I (Watson - 28th September 2012); his figures in the series opener were his best in the format (3/22) and set a personal record for dot balls in the process (11).
