- New Zealand have won three of their last four men’s T20Is against Pakistan, including their most recent game in the ongoing series by 115 runs; it is the biggest victory by runs by either team in the history of this fixture.
- Pakistan have lost six of their last seven men’s T20Is with four of those losses coming after batting first on the day; in fact, Pakistan has not won a match batting first since a 57-run victory over Zimbabwe (1 December 2024).
- Taking a 3-1 lead in the ongoing men’s T20I series, New Zealand will be hoping to win four matches in a bilateral series for the second time in the history of the format, having beaten Pakistan 4-1 in January 2024.
- New Zealand have only won one of their last five men’s T20Is at Sky Stadium (T1 L3), with all three losses occurring in matches against Australia; they had previously won six matches in a row at the venue prior to that span.
- New Zealand will be looking to score 200+ runs in three consecutive men’s T20Is for the first time after doing so in the last two matches of the ongoing series (220/6 - 23 March 2025, 204 - 21 March 2025); they have scored 200+ in two consecutive matches twice before (225/5 v Scotland – 27 July 2022, 254/5 v Scotland – 29 July 2022 and 201/4 v England – 25 June 2013, 204/5 v Bangladesh – 6 November 2013).
- Pakistan (41) and New Zealand (33) have taken the most and third most catches in powerplay overs (1-6) in men’s T20Is among Test playing countries since the start of 2024 (India – 38).
- Finn Allen (New Zealand) has recorded a strong connection on over 20% of deliveries faced in three of his last four men’s T20Is after not doing so in any of his previous six matches prior to that span; in fact, his strong connection of 45% in the most recent match of the ongoing series is his best rate in an innings in which he has faced more than six balls.
- Haris Rauf (Pakistan) has picked up multiple wickets in his last three men’s T20Is in the ongoing series (2 – 18 March 2025, 3 – 21 March 2025, 3 – 23 March 2025); he will be looking to pick up multiple wickets in four consecutive matches for the second time in his career (2 v England – 13 November 2022, 4 v New Zealand 14 April 2023, 4 v New Zealand – 15 April 2023, 2 v New Zealand – 17 April 2023).
- Tim Seifert (1443) needs 57 more runs to become the seventh player to score 1500 runs for New Zealand in men’s T20Is; his 152 runs in the ongoing series are 33 more than any other player.
- Khushdil Shah (Pakistan) has scored 47.5% of his 40 runs straight down the ground (mid-off – mid-on) in the ongoing series, the highest rate of any player to have faced more than 15 balls.
