- The Melbourne Renegades have won each of their last two BBL matches against the Perth Scorchers, more than they won across their nine meetings prior to that span (W1 L8); a third consecutive win in this game would be the Renegades’ outright longest winning run against the Scorchers in the history of the competition (also W2 from December 2018 to January 2019).
- The Perth Scorchers have won their last three BBL matches, including both of their two games in 2026; the last time the Scorchers started a calendar year on a longer winning run was a four-match span in 2021.
- The Melbourne Renegades have won only one of their last 13 BBL matches outside Victoria (L12); although, their only victory in that span did come in their most recent game on the road against the Perth Scorchers (7 January 2025).
- Joel Paris (Perth Scorchers) has taken nine wickets at an average of 12 across his last four BBL bowling innings, recording at least two wickets in each of those four innings; it’s his longest run of multiple wickets in an innings in his career in the competition.
- Will Sutherland (Melbourne Renegades) scored 70 runs the last time he faced the Perth Scorchers (7 January 2025), his highest score in his career in the competition and also logged bowling figures of 2-22 on the day (4 overs bowled).
