- India have won 20 of their 31 men’s T20Is against Australia (L11), including each of their last three such games, only against Sri Lanka have they won more games in the format (21); meanwhile, Australia’s 20 T20I losses to India in the format is their most against any opponent in the format.
- Australia have won 90% (9 out of 10) of their men’s T20Is in 2025, their second highest such rate in a calendar year (100% in 2019) where they have played at least five games in the format; on the other hand, only in 2024 (84.6%) have India won a higher such rate of matches than they have in 2025 (83.3%).
- India have won four of the five men’s T20Is that they have played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with their win percentage of 80% being the highest of any team to play at least two matches at the venue; in fact, the last time the Men in Blue lost a T20I at the MCG was their first game there in February 2008 (9-wicket defeat to Australia).

- Australia batters have scored at a strike rate of 167.8 in men’s T20Is in 2025, the highest among all full member sides and over 17 more than India (150.2); however, that difference drops to 0.5 in the powerplay with Australia (170) second on the list and India (169.5) third.

- Suryakumar Yadav (India) has scored 329 runs in men’s T20Is against Australia at a strike rate of 171.4, the highest such rate by any batter to have faced at least 100 balls in games between these sides; however, his T20I strike rate of 116.8 in 2025 is his lowest in any calendar year so far.
- Tim David and Cameron Green have powerplay strike rates of 229.0 and 214.7 respectively in men’s T20Is since the start of 2025, the highest among all batters from full member teams to have faced at least 25 balls in that phase in the format this year.
