- Australia have won seven of their last nine Test series played against Pakistan, losing only once in that time (D1); the victor in this encounter will take this series.
- This is the third Test series to have taken place in the United Arab Emirates between Pakistan and Australia; the Baggy Greens suffering a 2-0 defeat there last time (2014).
- Pakistan have gone four Tests without tasting victory in the United Arab Emirates (D1 L3); failure to do so in this match will equal their longest ever run there (five games - 2002 to 2011).
- Australia have only managed to claim three Test victories in Asia since 2008, recording six draws and 16 defeats there in that time; they have lost 12 of their last 16 Test matches played in the continent (W2 D2).
- Australia and Pakistan have been involved in one Test meeting before at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi; Pakistan beating the Baggy Greens by a margin of 356 runs there in 2014.
- Pakistan have a solid Test record at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium; losing only one Test match there in 10 outings (W5 D4).
- Usman Khawaja recorded his maiden Test century outside of Australia or New Zealand in the 1st Test; he has scored 450 runs across his four Test innings as an opener, averaging 150.
- Mohammad Abbas requires one more dismissal to reach 50 Test wickets; he has taken those at an average of just 16.9 and 26 of those scalps to come in 2018 have been at a rate of 13.
- Nathan Lyon (310) is one dismissal away from going above Brett Lee (310) as the 5th all-time leading wicket-taker for Australia in Tests; the spinner is four away from going into 4th above Mitchell Johnson (313).
- Azhar Ali managed to post centuries in both innings for Pakistan when they faced off against Australia at this venue in Abu Dhabi (2014); he averages 60.1 there across his 16 previous knocks.
