- Australia have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead against Sri Lanka, ending a run of three successive multi-game men’s T20I bilateral series on home soil without victory (D1 L2).
- Australia have won five of their last seven men's T20Is against Sri Lanka (L2), including their last three on the spin; the most they have ever recorded in succession against them.
- Australia are currently enjoying a four-match winning streak in men's T20I matches; they could only manage one victory in six attempts before this run.
- Australia have won seven of their last nine men's T20Is played on home turf; however, each of their last five such fixtures has been won by the team to have lost the toss on the day.
- Sri Lanka have won the toss in nine of their last 10 men's T20I fixtures; however, they've gone on to win only three times when they’ve won the toss in that time.
- Sri Lanka have taken on Australia twice before in men's T20Is at Melbourne Cricket Ground, winning both of them albeit in tight finishes; a 2013 encounter was won by just two runs before the 2017 meeting was won on the final ball.
- Adam Zampa (Australia) has taken more wickets in men's T20Is between his side and Sri Lanka than any other bowler; he’s picked up 14 of them at an average of just 9.14, with an economy rate of 5.33.
- David Warner has smashed 39 runs off only 11 balls Kasun Rajitha in this men's T20I series (strike rate of 354.5) and comes into this match requiring just 48 to become the first man to record 2,000 runs for Australia in T20I cricket; he has posted scores of 100* and 60* thus far in this series.
- Australia's David Warner has produced scores of 50+ in three of his last four T20I knocks; he previously failed to register a score worth more than 33 in 12 successive innings immediately beforehand in the format.
- Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar have logged 96 deliveries between them so far in this T20I series, just two of those have been hit for boundaries (one apiece); only two bowlers have managed a better career economy rate than the 5.86 recorded by Australia's Adam Zampa (20+ innings – Daniel Vettori and Imad Wasim).
