- Pakistan have won all 15 of their previous men's T20I encounters with Zimbabwe, despite having won the coin toss only once in their last four encounters.
- Pakistan have won seven of their last nine men's T20Is (L2), including their last three on the bounce; their 11-run win in their first match of this series against Zimbabwe was just the second time they had successfully defended a total in that time.
- Zimbabwe have lost their last nine consecutive men's T20Is, the last time they recorded a longer losing run in the format was an 11-match span from June 2016 to June 2019.
- Zimbabwe's last win in a men's T20I at Harare Sports Club came against India in June 2016; they have since lost seven consecutive games at the venue and have an overall record of just two wins from 21 matches there in the format (L19).
- Pakistan have logged 103 wins in men's T20I history, more than any other team in the format, while Zimbabwe (22%) have the lowest win rate of any team to have played at least 20 matches in the men's format.
- Zimbabwe had a false shot rate of 38% against Pakistan in the first match of this series; the last time they had a higher false shot rate in a men's T20I was in March 2020 against Bangladesh (44%).
- Babar Azam needs 58 runs to become the third Pakistan player to score 2,000 runs in men’s T20Is (Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik); his 18 scores of 50+ runs in his T20I career are the most of any Pakistan player in the men's format and the joint-fourth most of any player overall.
- Craig Ervine top-scored for Zimbabwe in the first match of this series against Pakistan with a score of 34 runs, his best T20I innings against Pakistan; he will now look to log back-to-back 30+ run innings for the first time since July 2019.
- Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan) has scored one century and five half centuries in his last nine T20I innings, as well as logging two ducks in that span; in fact, Rizwan's 554 runs scored in the last 12 months are the most of any player in men's T20Is.
- Six of Zimbabwe captain Sean Williams' last eight T20I dismissals have come against spin, including one against a googly from Usman Qadir in the first match of this series; each of his last three dismissals have come when playing a sweep or slog-sweep.
