- Sri Lanka have won two of their three men’s T20Is against Afghanistan (L1), including the most recent such game. Indeed, the Lions batted second in both of their wins.
- Afghanistan have lost each of their last four men’s T20Is, their longest losing streak in the format; the Afghans had won four of their five men’s T20Is prior to this run (L1).
- Sri Lanka have lost each of their last two men’s T20Is, having won eight of the last nine men’s T20Is prior to their current run (L1).
- Afghanistan have lost each of their last three games in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the only time they lost more consecutive games in the competition was a run of five from May 2010 to March 2014.
- No team has had more run out dismissals in the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup than Sri Lanka (4); Afghanistan have failed to register even one such dismissal in the competition.
- Only Zimbabwe (8) have registered a better bowling economy during the slog overs (overs 17-20) in men’s T20Is in 2022 than Afghanistan (8.5) among full-member sides of the ICC this year.
- No team has registered a lower batting strike rate in men’s T20Is in 2022 than Afghanistan (123.1) among the full-member sides of the ICC, with Sri Lanka the next lowest (124.6).
- Pathum Nissanka (938) is 62 runs away from becoming the 10th batter to score 1,000 runs for Sri Lanka in men’s T20Is; if Nissanka manages the feat in his next innings – his 34th - he will become the joint-fastest batter from his country to do so alongside Kusal Perera (also 34 innings).
- Mujeeb Ur Rahman (46) needs four more wickets to become the third bowler from Afghanistan to reach 50 wickets in men’s T20Is; Mujeeb has taken four or more wickets only twice in his career.
- Fazalhaq Farooqi has taken 18 wickets in men’s T20Is in 2022, the most by any Afghanistan pacer in a single calendar year; should he takes two more wickets, he will become just the third bowler from his nation to take 20+ wickets in a single calendar year, joining Rashid Khan (2016, 2018 and 2019) and Mohammad Nabi (2016).
