- Afghanistan have won two of their last three bilateral ODI series against Ireland; they will improve upon that record, if they avoid tasting defeat in this match.
- Afghanistan have registered three victories in their last four ODI meetings in India versus Ireland (L1); all of those wins coming in games when they've lost the toss.
- Five of Afghanistan's last eight 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 suffered two ODI defeats in their last three completed ODI matches in Asia (L1); as many losses as they recorded in 10 fixtures there immediately beforehand (W8).
- Afghanistan are just one defeat away from 50 in ODI cricket; they have won 53.3% of their completed games compared to Ireland’s rate of 45.9%.
- Mohammad Nabi is only 32 away from becoming Afghanistan's all-time leading run-scorer in ODIs; he's currently sat on 2,525 with only Mohammad Shahzad above him on that list.
- William Porterfield (Ireland) has been dismissed five times by Mohammad Nabi and four times from balls bowled by Mujeeb Ur Rahman (both Afghanistan); the most instances he's been removed by bowlers in ODI cricket.
- Just 3.6% of balls bowled by Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi in this series have been struck for a boundary; the lowest share of any bowler.
- Asghar Afghan (Afghanistan) has scored 24 runs in this ODI series from slogs thus far; nine more than any other batsman whilst Ireland's Andrew Balbirnie has recorded 51 runs from sweeps in this series, 29 more than anybody else.
- Ireland duo Tim Murtagh and George Dockrell both need two scalps to become the highest ODI wicket-taker ever against Afghanistan; going above Zimbabwe's Graeme Cremer in that list (26).
