- This will be the eighth T20I meeting between Australia and New Zealand; the Black Caps have only mustered one win in that time (T1 - NZ won the 1-over eliminator, L5), they lost the opening game of this Tri-Series to the Australians.
- In fact, Australia are yet to lose a T20 International to the Black Caps in New Zealand in the regular 40 overs of play (W2, T1 - NZ won the 1-over eliminator).
- If New Zealand avoid defeat in this match, they’ll guarantee themselves a spot in the final having got off the mark against the pointless England; Australia are already assured of a spot in the final.
- New Zealand have claimed victory in 14 of their last 16 matches across all formats on home soil; those two defeats did come in T20Is however (v Pakistan).
- Australia have won four games in a row in this form of the game; if they were to claim victory in this outing too, it’ll be their longest winning run since September 2012.
- New Zealand come into this encounter with Australia at Eden Park having suffered three T20I defeats in a row at the venue; they were chasing on all three occasions.
- Six of the last seven T20 Internationals to have taken place at Eden Park in Auckland have seen the chasing side come up short, including the three most recent showdowns there.
- Martin Guptill requires 58 to become the all-time leading runscorer in T20 Internationals, going above Brendon McCullum; he has recorded half-centuries in two of his last three innings for New Zealand.
- Glenn Maxwell has scored 63 runs more than anybody else so far in this Tri-Series; the Australian has posted 182 across his three knocks but has only been dismissed in one of those innings.
- Andrew Tye claimed the best T20I figures by an Australian against New Zealand as he helped his side secure a seven-wicket victory over the Black Caps in the Tri-Series opener; recording 4/23 in that game, only once before has an Australian managed to take more wickets in a T20I fixture (Faulkner, 5/27 v Pakistan in 2016).
