- Australia will be looking to log back-to-back wins in men's T20Is against West Indies for the first time since March 2012; indeed, only once before have the logged multiple wins in a bilateral men's T20I series against the West Indies (February 2010).
- Australia's four-run win in the fourth T20I of this men's T20I series against the West Indies was the first time they had batted first and won against them in the Caribbean and just the third time they've beaten them there overall.
- The West Indies have lost the toss in each of their last six men's T20Is; throughout the history of the format, only Sri Lanka (36) have lost more total matches when they've lost the toss on the day than the West Indies (35).
- Australia will be looking to pick up back-to-back wins in men's T20Is outside Oceania for the first time since a three-win stretch from February 2019 to February 2020 after picking up a four-run win over the West Indies at Gros Islet in their last match.
- Aaron Finch (2,439) is 61 runs away from becoming the second Australian to log 2,500 T20I runs (Meg Lanning - 2,914), and just the fourth player to do so from any country in the men's format; however, Finch's T20I batting average of 18.8 against the West Indies is his worst against any opponent that he's faced more than once.
- West Indies' Shimron Hetmeyer has a batting false shot rate of 18% during the ongoing T20I series against Australia, the lowest amongst all players; he also has the lowest batting dot ball percentage for any player in the series (24.6%).
- Hayden Walsh (West Indies) has taken a series-high 11 wickets in this T20I series against Australia, as many as he had taken in all his 14 bowling innings prior to this series (11).
- West Indies duo Dwayne Bravo and Fabian Allen have each taken five catches throughout this men's T20I series against Australia, more than twice as many as any other player; however, no player has dropped more attempts than Bravo (2) this series.
- Mitchell Marsh has logged scores of 51, 54, 9, and 75 in this men's T20I series against the West Indies and now has the unique opportunity to become the first player in the history of the format to log four 50+ run scores in the space of a single bilateral series.
- Mitchell Starc needs just two wickets to become the first Australian to reach 50 wickets in men's T20Is, he has seven wickets in seven previous T20I games against West Indies, but his average (36.9) and economy (9.2) when playing them are his worst against any opponent.
