- Afghanistan have won four of their last five ODIs against Ireland (L1), including their last two on the bounce.
- Afghanistan have won two of their last three bilateral ODI series against Ireland; the only one of those taking place in India was won by Afghanistan (March 2017).
- Four of Afghanistan's last seven ODI wins have come against Ireland, with the side also picking up single wins against the Windies, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh in that period.
- Afghanistan have won four of their last six ODIs played in India, including their last two on the bounce after having lost the toss.
- Ireland have lost their last two completed ODI fixtures in succession heading into this fixture; the last time they lost more was a seven-game stretch from March to December in 2017.
- Ireland have won only three of their last 10 ODIs played in India, with each of their last four games in the country being won by the team to lose the toss on the day.
- Mohammad Nabi (Afghanistan) requires a knock of just 41 runs to become the second Afghanistan player to reach 2,500 ODI runs; however, he has not reached that mark in any of his last 14 innings in the format.
- Paul Stirling (Ireland) has scored 860 runs in ODIs between Ireland and Afghanistan, 236 more than any other player; he's knocked one century and three half-centuries in his last seven innings against Afghanistan.
- Afghanistan enjoy a 60% win rate in ODIs under current captain Asghar Afghan (30/50), their highest under any captain in their history.
- George Dockrell (Ireland) comes into this game having picked up figures of 3/51 versus Afghanistan; if he replicates that feat, he'll become the joint-highest ODI wicket-taker ever against Afghanistan (with Graeme Cremer, 26).
