- Sri Lanka will be aiming for back-to-back wins in men’s Tests for the first time since November 2021, following their innings & 280 run victory against Ireland last time out.
- Ireland have lost all five of their men’s Test matches; New Zealand (D22, L22), Bangladesh (D3, L31), India (D12, L12), Sri Lanka (D5, L8), South Africa (D1, L10) and Zimbabwe (D6, L4) are the teams to have begun their history in the format on a longer winless run.
- Sri Lanka have won three of their last four men’s Tests at Galle International Stadium (L1), including each of their last two; the last time they recorded a longer winning run at the venue in the format was a four-match span from August 2015 to March 2017.

- Dimuth Karunaratne (49) is one away from becoming the fourth player to record 50 scores of 50+ runs for Sri Lanka in men’s Tests (Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Angelo Mathews); he has scored 50+ in each of his last three Test Innings (89, 51, 179).
- Vishwa Fernando (47) is three away from taking 50 wickets for Sri Lanka in men’s Tests; his Test bowling average at Galle International Stadium (11.4) is his best at any venue.
