  • Sri Lanka have won three of their last four men’s ODIs against Afghanistan (L1), including each of their last two; a third consecutive win in this match would be their outright longest winning run against Afghanistan in the history of the format.
  • Afghanistan have lost their last five men’s ODIs; the last time they recorded a longer losing run in the format was a 12-match span from June to November in 2019.
  • Sri Lanka have won their last 11 men’s ODIs on the bounce – their longest winning run in the history of the format; although, their most recent defeat did come against Afghanistan (2 June 2023).
  • Afghanistan are winless in their last four men’s ODIs in the Asia Cup (T1, L3) – their longest winless run in the history of the tournament; although, they won by a 91-run margin in their most recent meeting with Sri Lanka in the tournament (17 September 2018).
  • Afghanistan have logged a batting dot ball percentage of 59% in men’s ODIs in 2023, the highest rate of any Test playing country this year; Sri Lanka (54%) are ranked third in this category (Australia – 56%).
  • Sri Lanka have a bowling strike rate of 29.1 during the powerplay in men’s ODIs in 2023, the second best of any Test playing country this year (Australia – 20).
  • Hashmatullah Shahidi (22) is one away from recording the outright third most appearances as captain of Afghanistan in men’s ODIs (also Nawroz Mangal – 22); only Asghar Afghan (59) and Mohammad Nabi (28) have logged more in the history of the format.
  • Kusal Mendis (2,950) is 50 away from becoming the 18th player to score 3,000 runs for Sri Lanka in men’s ODIs; he has been dismissed for zero runs in two of his three career ODI innings in the Asia Cup.
  • Ibrahim Zadran has scored 24% of Afghanistan’s runs when he’s played in men’s ODIs in 2023, the second-best rate of any player (min. 4 innings) from a Test playing country for their team this year (Sean Williams – 29% for Zimbabwe).
  • Batters have left 17.4% of Matheesha Pathirana’s (Sri Lanka) balls bowled in men’s ODIs in 2023, the highest rate of any player from a Test playing country this year (min. 6 overs bowled).
