- Sri Lanka won their most recent men’s ODI against Afghanistan to level the series 1-1, having lost the first game; the Lions haven’t won consecutive men’s ODIs against the Afghans since doing so between March 2014 and February 2015 (a run of two wins).
- Sri Lanka have won just two of their last 10 completed men’s ODI matches (L8), with both their wins in this span coming against Afghanistan at home.
- With the ongoing series tied 1-1, a win for Afghanistan in the third men’s ODI will see them clinching their first multi-game bilateral series win in the format in Asia against an Asian opponent; the Afghans have lost thrice and drawn one such series so far.
- Sri Lanka have won just 53% of their completed men’s ODIs at Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium, Hambantota (P19 W10 L9), their second lowest win percentage in the format at any venue in Sri Lanka (50% - Pallekele International Cricket Stadium); the Lions have lost three of their last five men’s ODIs here (W2).
- Only India (56.3%) have logged a better bowling dot ball rate than Afghanistan (56%) in men’s ODIs since the start of 2022 among full-member sides; Sri Lanka have managed a bowling dot ball rate of 50.2% in the same period.
- Only Ireland (64.5) have logged a poorer batting strike rate during the Powerplay overs in men’s ODIs in 2023 than Afghanistan (65) and Sri Lanka (67.4) among full-member sides.
- Ibrahim Zadran (Afghanistan) has a batting average of 86 against Sri Lanka in men’s ODIs, the second highest of any opening batter to have played at least five innings against the Lions (Gordon Greenidge – 86.8); Zadran has scored a 50 in each of the two games of this series.
- Sri Lanka’s Dushmantha Chameera (46) is four away from reaching 50 wickets in men’s ODIs; Chameera has taken more than three wickets in an innings just once in his ODI career.
- Pathum Nissanka (Sri Lanka) has a batting average of 58 against seamers in men’s ODIs since the start of 2022, the third highest such aggregate of any opener from a full-member side to have faced 300 balls in this period (Imam-ul-haq – 60.8, Travis Head – 59.5).
- Najibullah Zadran (1,983) is 17 runs away from becoming the fifth Afghanistan batter to score 2,000 runs in men’s ODIs; Najibullah has a batting average of 26.3 against Sri Lanka in the format.
