- Afghanistan and West Indies are set for their second bilateral men's ODI series; the previous one was played out as a draw in June 2017 (1-1).
- Afghanistan have not suffered a bilateral men's ODI series (2+ matches played) defeat since December 2017; they are currently enjoying a four-series unbeaten streak in the format (W2 D2).
- West Indies have tasted defeat in eight of their last nine men's ODI matches (W1); the sole victory for West Indies in that time coming against Afghanistan, beating them by a margin of 23 runs at ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019.
- Afghanistan are playing a men's ODI game in India for the 10th time, this will be the first to be against a side other than Ireland however; six of the last seven such matches involving Afghanistan there have been won by the chasing side.
- This is a battle between the two bottom-ranked sides at ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019; West Indies ended the 10-team group stage in 9th position with five points (W2 L6 NR1) whilst Afghanistan finished bottom (10th) with a record of nine defeats in nine outings.
- Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium is hosting a men's ODI for the very first time; it has hosted a men’s international before however, a 71-run T20I victory for India over West Indies in November 2018.
- Mohammad Nabi (2,699) requires 29 to become the all-time leading runscorer for Afghanistan in men's ODIs; the absent Mohammad Shahzad currently tops that list on 2,727 runs.
- West Indies are without Kemar Roach for this ODI series with Afghanistan, he claimed figures of 3/37 from his 10 overs when these sides faced off in their most recent encounter (ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019); he had the best economy rate of any bowler to log more than two overs at that tournament (3.7 from 33 overs).
- Sheldon Cottrell picked up seven powerplay (overs 1-10) wickets for West Indies at ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019, doing so at an average of 22.1; the most of any bowler from any side during the group stage.
- Only Alex Carey (17, Australia) claimed more catches during ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 Group Stage than Shai Hope (16, West Indies); Hope was the only man to take more than one hard catch (2) at the tournament however.
