- This will be the second men’s T20I between Afghanistan and Australia; Australia won their inaugural meeting by four runs (4 November 2022) after batting first on the day.
- Afghanistan have lost each of their last two men’s T20Is, after losing only one of their seven matches in the format prior to that span (W6); the last time they recorded a longer losing run (excluding super over results) was a three-match span from March to July in 2023.
- Australia have won their last eight men’s T20Is on the bounce; a ninth consecutive win in this match would be their outright longest winning run (excluding super over wins) in the history of the format (also W8 from February 2019 to February 2020).
- Afghanistan have made six run outs when fielding at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 – two times as many as any other team in the tournament; Australia (0) are one of two teams yet to register such a wicket (also Bangladesh).
- Australia have a batting good connection rate of 64% at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, the best of any team in the tournament; in addition, they have scored 67% of their runs from boundaries – the best rate of any team in the campaign.
- Afghanistan have taken 14 wickets during the powerplay at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, the most of any team; their bowling strike rate during this period (12.9) is the best of any team and one of only two teams with a rate under 15 in this campaign (Pakistan – 14.4).
- Ashton Agar (49) is one away from becoming the fifth player to take 50 wickets for Australia in men’s T20Is; he’s taken exactly one wicket in nine of his last 11 T20I bowling innings, including each of his last three.
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz has scored 25.8% of Afghanistan’s runs when he’s played at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, the third best rate of any player for a team in the tournament (Phil Salt – 28.4% for England and Andries Gous – 28.3% for USA).
- David Warner (975) is 25 away from becoming the fourth player to score 1,000 runs in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history and the first for Australia; he recorded an unbeaten 53 off 35 balls last time out in the tournament (vs Bangladesh on 20 June 2024).
- Batters have played a false shot on 67 of Fazalhaq Farooqi’s (Afghanistan) balls bowled at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, the second most of any player in the tournament (Anrich Nortje – 71 for South Africa).
