- After winning the 3rd ODI, Ireland have the chance to secure back-to-back wins over Afghanistan; equalling their longest winning run against them since January 2015 (three matches).
- 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.
- Ireland have tasted victory in each of their last five ODI matches when losing the toss; three of those fixtures coming against Afghanistan.
- Afghanistan have only mustered one victory in their last five ODI outings, recording three defeats and being involved in one tie across those other fixtures.
- Afghanistan are just one defeat away from 50 in ODI cricket; they have won 52.8% of their completed games compared to Ireland's rate of 46.3%.
- Mohammad Nabi (Afghanistan) requires a knock of just 39 runs to become the second Afghanistan player to reach 2,500 ODI runs; however, he has reached that mark in just one of his last 15 innings in the format.
- Mujeeb Ur Rahman requires only two more wickets to reach 50 in ODI cricket; the 17-year-old will become only the fifth bowler ever to reach that milestone for Afghanistan.
- Andy Balbirnie comes into this contest having registered an unbeaten 145* off only 136 balls; it was the third-highest ODI total ever posted for Ireland.
- George Dockrell (Ireland) needs three scalps to become the highest ODI wicket-taker ever against Afghanistan; going above Zimbabwe’s Graeme Cremer in that list (26).
