- India have the opportunity to record a 3-0 whitewash; it would be the second time they've won every match in a multi-game bilateral men's T20I series versus Australia, doing so in 2016 previously.
- India have registered seven victories in their last eight men's T20I outings in Australia (L1), including each of the last three such encounters.
- India have a 100% winning record in men's T20Is against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground; they have managed to record victories at all three prior encounters at the famous venue in this format.
- Australia have logged back-to-back losses at the S.C.G. in men's T20I games for the very first time heading into this contest with India.
- Australia have tasted defeat in consecutive men’s T20I games on home soil, as many losses as they had logged in 12 outings immediately before this current run (W10).
- India have gone 10 matches unbeaten in men's T20I cricket (W8 T2 – winning both of those fixtures in a Super Over); it is their longest ever such run in the format.
- Virat Kohli (India) has scored more runs in men's T20I cricket than any other batsman ever (2,843) and he's managed to record those at an average of 49.9; 633 of those have come in games against Australia, the most scored by a batsman versus a single opponent in this format.
- India's Virat Kohli is the only player to drop multiple catches across this men's T20I series with Australia; both of those dropped efforts were evaluated as being ‘easy’ chances.
- Australian opener D'Arcy Short has fallen to T Natarajan in both of matches so far in this men's T20I series, scoring just eight runs in response; the 29-year-old left-arm seamer has picked more wickets than any other bowler during this series (five).
- Hardik Pandya (India) has registered 16 runs from slogged efforts across the first two matches of this men's T20I series, more than twice the number of the next-placed batsman in that list (Ravindra Jadeja, seven).
