- This will be the second men’s T20I between Scotland and Australia; Australia won their inaugural meeting by five wickets at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 (15 June).
- Scotland will be looking to avoid back-to-back defeats in men's T20Is for the first time since October 2022, following their five-wicket loss against Australia in their most recent match in the format (15 June 2024 – ICC Men's T20 World Cup).
- Australia have lost each of their last two men's T20Is, after winning eight consecutive matches in the format prior to that span; the last time they recorded a longer losing run in such fixtures was a three-match span in October 2022.
- Scotland have won their last four men’s T20Is at the Grange Cricket Club Ground, batting first on the day in each of those four wins; although, they had won only two of all their 10 matches at the venue in the format prior to that span (L8).
- Australia have scored 65% of their runs from boundaries in men's T20Is in 2024, the best rate of any Test playing country this year; indeed, they are one of only two teams to average fewer than five balls per boundary so far this year (Australia – once every 4.6 balls faced, West Indies – once every 4.8 balls faced).
- Scotland had a collective batting average of 44.6 at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, the best of any team in the tournament; in addition, their batting strike rate (155.9) was the best of any team in the campaign.
- Travis Head (911) is 89 away from becoming the ninth player to score 1,000 runs for Australia in men's T20Is; if he achieves the milestone in this innings (33*), he'd be the second fastest player to reach it for Australia in the history of the format (Aaron Finch – 29 innings).
- Michael Leask (41) is one away from surpassing Alasdair Evans (41) for the outright third most wickets for Scotland in men's T20Is; he's taken seven wickets at a strike rate of 9.4 across his last four T20I bowling innings in Scotland.
- Tim David (Australia) has a batting strike rate of 183.7 in men's T20Is in 2024, the best of any player from a Test playing country this year (min. 100 balls faced); it’s the third best of any player for Australia in a calendar year (min. 100 balls faced) in the history of the format (Aaron Finch – 194.1 in 2013 and Mitchell Marsh – 186 in 2023).
- Richie Berrington (Scotland) had a batting dot ball rate of 26% from 73 balls faced at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, the second best (min. 25 balls faced) of any player in the tournament (Harry Brook – 23% from 92 balls faced for England).
