- Pakistan have won their last two bilateral men's T20I series against New Zealand; although, they are yet to win more consecutive series against the Black Caps in this format.
- This will be the fourth bilateral men's T20I series between New Zealand and Pakistan in New Zealand; Pakistan won their most recent iteration (2-1, January 2018) after the Black Caps won each of the first two series on their own turf.
- New Zealand won their most recent men's T20I at Eden Park (5 wickets v West Indies, 27 November 2020), ending a four-match winless run at the venue (T1, L3) – the Black Caps will be aiming for back-to-back wins there for the first time since January 2016.
- Pakistan are winless in their last three bilateral men's T20I series outside their own country (D1, L2), after enjoying seven consecutive series victories prior in this regard.
- New Zealand will be looking to secure three men's T20I victories on the bounce at home for the first time since a five-match span from January 2016 to January 2017; the Black Caps won each of their two completed fixtures against West Indies last month.
- Pakistan have won 13 of their 21 men's T20Is against New Zealand; only against Zimbabwe (W14) have they won more against a single opponent in the format.
- Martin Guptill (New Zealand) has scored 463 runs in men's T20Is between New Zealand and Pakistan, the most by any player, including four half-centuries – his joint-most against any side in the format (also England).
- Mohammad Hafeez has scored 412 runs against New Zealand in T20I cricket, the most by any Pakistan player against a single side in the men's format.
- Glenn Phillips comes into this series off the back of producing the fastest century by a New Zealand men's player in his last T20I innings (46 balls v West Indies, 29 November 2020); no Black Caps player has ever made back-to-back hundreds in this format.
- Imad Wasim (Pakistan) finished with an economy rate of 6.6 in the last men's T20I series between New Zealand and Pakistan, the best by any bowler (min. 8 overs bowled).
