- West Indies have won their last four men's T20Is against Afghanistan, including the first game of this bilateral series; each of their four victories in that span have seen them alternate between chasing down and defending a total.
- A West Indies' victory would see them wrap up back-to-back men’s T20I bilateral series in the subcontinent for the first time, they defeated Bangladesh (2-1) on their last such tour in December 2018.
- Afghanistan have won nine of their last 10 multi-game bilateral men's T20I series (L1), their only series loss in that span came against West Indies in June 2017.
- West Indies will be looking to put together back-to-back wins in men's T20I cricket for the first time since May – July 2018, following their win over Afghanistan last time out.
- Afghanistan have lost their last three completed men’s T20Is, they have never endured a longer run of consecutive defeats in the format.
- Each of the two men's T20Is to have taken place at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow have been won by the team batting first on the day, West Indies were involved in both matches (W1, L1).
- Only New Zealand's Colin Munro (69) and India's Rohit Sharma (64) have hit more sixes in men’s T20I cricket than West Indies' Evin Lewis (51) since the beginning of 2017; Afghanistan's Mohammad Nabi (47) rounds out the top five of that list (also Aaron Finch – 48).
- Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) has taken the second most wickets (18) of any player in 2019 from a top 10 side in the ICC Men's Twenty20 Rankings, only bettered by New Zealand's Mitchell Santner (20).
- Kieron Pollard (935) requires 65 runs to become the fourth West Indies player to score 1,000 in men's T20I cricket, his average in 2019 (73.5) is the third highest of any player in the format to have spent a minimum of four innings at the crease.
- Only Nuwan Kulasekara (Sri Lanka - 6) has bowled more maiden overs than Afghanistan's Mohammad Nabi (5) in men's T20I cricket; however, he hasn't earned one since March 2016 against Sri Lanka at the ICC World T20 in India.
