- New Zealand have won five of their last seven games at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, including an eight-wicket win over India in their last start; they had won only two of their eight previous games prior to that span.
- Scotland have won only three of their last 16 men’s T20Is against Test-playing nations; though, one of those three wins came earlier in the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup against Bangladesh.

- Alasdair Evans (Scotland) has bowled 10% of his 120 deliveries at the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup on a full toss length, the highest rate of any player from either Scotland or New Zealand; he has not bowled a single short delivery so far this campaign.
- Kane Williamson (New Zealand) has made a good connection on 81% of balls faced at the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the highest rate of any Black Caps or Scotland player to have faced more than six balls
