- Sri Lanka have won their last 11 men’s ODIs on the bounce – their longest winning run in the history of the format; although, their most recent defeat did come against Afghanistan (2 June 2023).
- Afghanistan are winless in their last four men’s ODIs in the Asia Cup (T1, L3) – their longest winless run in the history of the tournament; although, they won by a 91-run margin in their most recent meeting with Sri Lanka in the tournament (17 September 2018).
