- Australia have a guaranteed spot in the final; New Zealand will join them so long as they avoid defeat in this game whilst just a victory for England may not be enough because of their net run rate in relation to New Zealand’s.
- England hold the upper hand in the previous meetings in T20 Internationals; winning nine of the 14 encounters between the sides to date (L5), the hosts did win last time out however.
- Eoin Morgan’s side have now slumped to five defeats in a row on the road; if they lose this game too, it’ll result in England enduring their longest ever losing run away from home in T20I cricket.
- New Zealand have claimed six victories in seven T20I outings at Seddon Park (L1); one of those wins coming against England, the tourists only previous fixture in this format there.
- This is England’s 100th T20I fixture – their record currently stands at 46 victories, 48 defeats, a tie and four no results.
- Martin Guptill has now scored more T20I runs than any other batsman ever in the men's game (2,188), going above compatriot Brendon McCullum in his last appearance; he has reached 50 in three of his last four knocks in this format.
- Kane Williamson is set to make his 50th appearance in T20I cricket for the Black Caps; he’s struck 1,299 runs across his 47 innings to date and recorded a knock worth 72 when these sides met a week ago.
- Likewise, Tim Southee is also currently sat on 49 T20I appearances; this series has seen him become the leading T20I wicket taker for New Zealand (60), going above Nathan McCullum (59).
- Alex Hales is 13 runs away from becoming England’s all-time leading T20I runscorer against the Black Caps; currently that record is held by Luke Wright (273), Hales struck 47 off just 24 balls last time out.
- David Willey has a dot ball percentage of 49% so far in this series (32 of 65); the best rate of any bowler to register 3+ overs thus far.
