- Australia have won seven of their last nine Test series played against Pakistan; losing only once in that time (D1).
- This will be the third Test series to have taken place in the United Arab Emirates between Pakistan and Australia; the Baggy Greens suffering a 2-0 defeat there last time (2014).
- Pakistan come into this fixture with Australia having tasted defeat in three successive Test matches in the United Arab Emirates; their longest ever losing streak in the country.
- Australia have gone four Test series overseas without a win (D1 L3); their most recent series victory away from home soil coming in early 2016 against New Zealand.
- Pakistan have only lost one of their last five Test matches at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium (W3 D1); their victory over Australia in October 2014 is included in that run, the only previous Test meeting between these nations at this venue.
- Yasir Shah requires one more dismissal to become the all-time leading Test wicket-taker at this ground in Dubai; he’s currently sat on 37 scalps along with Saeed Ajmal.
- Nathan Lyon is set to bowl in his 150th Test innings; he needs four more scalps to become the 8th highest ranked spinner in the list of all-time Test wicket-takers (going above Lance Gibbs who’s on 309).
- Only two bowlers (Rabada 103 & Anderson 97) have taken more wickets in Test cricket since the start of 2017 than Australia’s Nathan Lyon; he could only take match figures of 2/220 in his only Test appearance at this stadium however.
- Asad Shafiq has been dismissed four times by Mitchell Starc; only Rangana Herath has got rid of the Pakistan batsman more often in Test cricket (nine times).
- Peter Siddle is in contention to play his first Test match since November 2016; he comes into this series having taken 37 wickets at an average of just 16.4 in the 2018 County Championship for Essex.
