- New Zealand have won four of their last five men’s T20Is against Bangladesh including a 17-run win in their most recent encounter (31/12/2023); in fact, the Black Caps have a 79% win rate from their 19 completed games against Bangladesh in the format, their best against any team they’ve faced at least 10 times.
- Bangladesh have won three of their six men’s T20Is against New Zealand in Bangladesh and won their only previous multi-game bilateral series in the format at home against the Black Caps (3-2), winning the first two matches of the series.
- Bangladesh have won their last two consecutive men’s T20Is after losing four in a row in the format prior to that stretch, with each of their last four matches won by the team to have lost the toss on the day; in fact, they’ve also won five of their last six bilateral multigame series in the format after winning only one of their previous four.
- Bangladesh have won 10 of their last 15 men’s T20Is at Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium in Chattogram including their last two in a row, while New Zealand have lost two of their last three away matches in the format including a 96-run loss to India in their last match on the road.
- New Zealand have lost four of their last six men’s T20Is including their last two in a row, while a third straight loss would equal their longest losing streak of the year; indeed, they’ve won only one of their last five bilateral multi-game series in the format (L4) and have lost both of their two such series in 2026.
- A loss for Bangladesh in this first match of the men’s T20I series against New Zealand would be their 122nd defeat in the format, drawing them level with Sri Lanka (122) for the second most losses of any team in the history of the format behind only the West Indies (130).
- New Zealand have used 25 different players through their 19 men’s T20Is so far in 2026, the joint-second most of any team in the format behind only South Africa (27); no player has featured in every match for the Black Caps this year, while Mitchell Santner (16) is the only player to make 15+ appearances in 2026.
- Tom Latham (New Zealand) scored 63* in his last T20I innings and has two unbeaten scores of 50+ runs across his last four innings against Bangladesh in the format (50*, 21, 5, 65*); however, Bangladesh all-rounder Mahedi Hasan (2) is one of only two players to have dismissed Latham multiple times in T20Is (also Haris Rauf - 2).
- Nasum Ahmed (49) is one away from becoming the eighth player to reach 50 wickets for Bangladesh in men’s T20Is; he’s taken five wickets across his last two innings against New Zealand in the format, while only against Afghanistan (12) has he taken more total wickets than he has against the Black Caps (10).
- Ish Sodhi (162 wickets) is three away from eclipsing Tim Southee (164) as the most prolific wicket taker for New Zealand in T20Is; his 17.2 bowling average and 14.0 bowling strike rate against Bangladesh are his best against any opponent he’s faced at least five times in the format.
