- New Zealand have now won their last four T20Is against Pakistan, at no point in the history of this fixture has either team gone on a longer winning streak.
- New Zealand have won their last three T20Is against Pakistan on home turf; however, Pakistan’s last victory against them in New Zealand came when they last met at Eden Park (January 2016).
- The Black Caps have won the toss and elected to field first in five of their last six T20Is at Eden Park; however, they've gone on to win just one of those five games.
- Pakistan will be out to avoid back-to-back defeats for the first time since losing three on the trot in March 2016; they've racked up 12 wins from 15 T20Is since that stretch.
- Pakistan have won just two of their eight T20Is in Oceania, having lost each of their last three; never before have they lost more consecutive 20-over games in the region.
- New Zealand have a win rate of just 38% at Eden Park, their lowest of any venue in New Zealand where they've played at least five games.
- Colin Munro (996) is just four runs shy of becoming the fifth Black Caps player to score 1,000 T20I runs; in the last six months, Munro has scored 395 runs in the format, 112 more than any other player.
- Mohammad Amir finished the first T20I of this series with a bowling economy of 4.33, the best of any Pakistan bowler; indeed, he's finished each of his last three T20I bowling innings with an economy of 5.00 or lower.
- Martin Guptill is 72-runs away from becoming just the second player in T20I history to score 2,000 runs in the format; he's scored 80+ in two of his last four innings against Pakistan.
- Rumman Raees has taken 10 wickets during this tour (across both ODIs and T20Is), the second most of any player (Southee 11) and four more than any Pakistan teammate.
