- Bangladesh opened this men's T20I series against Australia with a win and will now be looking to log back-to-back wins over a single opponent (other than Zimbabwe) for the first time since wins on consecutive days against the West Indies in August 2018.
- Bangladesh have won their last five consecutive men's T20Is on home turf, including their last three on the bounce at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka; they have never won more than three consecutive games at any venue in the format.
- Australia have lost six of their last seven men's T20Is (W1), including their last two in succession; in fact, they've lost 13 games in the format since the beginning of 2020 – the second most of any team (South Africa – 14).
- Australia have lost four of their last six men's T20Is played in Asia (W2), more than they had lost in their 11 games in the region prior (L3).
- Australia (10.9%) and Bangladesh (10.1%) are two of the four Test-playing teams to have bowled at least one in 10 of their deliveries on a short length in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2021, with only Afghanistan (11.2%) bowling a higher percentage on this length than Australia in that time.
- Bangladesh has a 69% catch success rate in men's T20Is in 2021, by far the lowest of any Test-playing nation in that time and seven percentage points lower than that of Australia (76%).
- Australia has a collective batting average against spin of just 15.6 in men's T20Is in 2021, the second lowest of any Test-playing nation in that time (Ireland – 9.1).
- Shoriful Islam (Bangladesh) has bowled 20% of his deliveries on a short length in T20Is since the beginning of 2020, the highest rate of any player to have bowled at least 20 overs in the men's format in that time.
- Andrew Tye (Australia) has bowled a slower variation delivery on 54% of his balls bowled in T20Is in 2021, the second highest rate of any player in the men's format in that time (Kieron Pollard – 77%).
- Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan (96) is four wickets shy of becoming the second player to take 100 wickets in men's T20Is (Lasith Malinga – 107) and the first to do so for Bangladesh; he's taken at least one wicket in each of his last seven T20I innings – his longest streak in the format.
