- New Zealand have won all 10 of their previous men's T20Is against Bangladesh; it is the most games any team has played against another in the format with a 100% win rate.
- Bangladesh have won five of their last six men's T20Is coming into this series (L1); in fact, they've logged six wins in the format thus far in 2021 – only in 2016 have they won more in a calendar year (W7, L8).
- Bangladesh have won six of their seven men's T20Is at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka since the beginning of 2020 (L1); New Zealand's only previous appearance at the venue in this format ended in a 15-run win for the Black Caps over Bangladesh in November 2013.
- New Zealand have won their last four men's T20Is on the bounce; the last time they won more in succession in the format was a six-game winning streak from January to March in 2016 which included a 75-run win over Bangladesh.
- Bangladesh bowlers have bowled a slower variation of their stock delivery on 17% of total deliveries in men's T20Is in 2021, the second-highest rate of any Test-playing nation in that time (West Indies – 20%).
- New Zealand boast a batting strike rate of 212.1 at the death in men's T20Is in 2021, the highest of any Test-playing nation in that time; Bangladesh (125.1) are ranked last in this period.
- Shoriful Islam (Bangladesh) has bowled 16 dot balls on a short length in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2021, the most of any player from a Test-playing nation in that time and more than twice as many as any New Zealand player (Tim Southee – 6).
- Tom Latham is set to become the ninth player to captain New Zealand in men's T20Is; New Zealand have won 13 of their 15 completed games across all formats when Tom Latham has been captain on the day.
- Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh) has taken 32 wickets at an average of 18.7 in T20Is at Shere Bangla National Stadium, the most of any player and four times as many as he's taken at any other venue.
- Finn Allen logged an innings of 71 runs in his last T20I for New Zealand – his best innings in the international format – and has logged scores of 66 runs in two of his last three T20 innings overall (Vitality Blast 2021).
