- Scotland have won both of their men's T20I games against Papua New Guinea, an eight wicket win earlier this month and a four-run win in qualifying for this tournament in October 2019; only against Oman have Scotland played three or more matches and maintained a 100% win rate.
- Papua New Guinea are currently on a four-match losing streak in men's T20Is, their longest such streak in the format since playing T20Is for the first time in 2015.
- Scotland have won three of their four T20I games played at Al Amerat Cricket Stadium (L1) in Oman; having suffered their only loss at this venue in their first fixture against Netherlands in February 2019.
- This will be just the second T20I game that Papua New Guinea will play in Oman, their maiden fixture in the country was played on 17 October 2021 when they were beaten by 10 wickets against Oman in this tournament.
- Papua New Guinea are the only side in the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup to have not won a single T20I game in 2021; they have played three games this year and have lost each of them.
- Of the five Associate Members at the 2021 men's T20 World Cup, only Namibia have a better win rate (78%) in T20Is since the end of 2016 World Cup than PNG (61%) and Scotland (55%); PNG have won 14 of their 23 games during this period, Scotland have won 17 of 31.
- Kyle Coetzer requires 89 more runs to become the second Scottish batter to register 1500 runs in men’s T20Is (Richie Berrington - 1519); he in fact has struck 193 boundaries in the format, the most by any Scottish batter in T20Is.
- Charles Amini is 44 runs away in becoming the third PNG batter to score 500 runs in men's T20Is (Tony Ura & Assad Vala); he in fact has the second-best average for any PNG batter in the format - 27 (min. 3 innings), behind Tony Ura - 36.
- Mathew Cross (Scotland) is set to appear in his 50th T20 international when he takes the field against PNG on Tuesday, in doing so he will become just the fourth Scottish player to have appeared in 50 games in the format (Richie Berrington, Kyle Coetzer & Calum MacLeod).
