- Afghanistan picked up a seven-wicket win in their most recent men's ODI against Bangladesh (February 2022), snapping a four-game losing streak against them; they will be looking to defeat Bangladesh in back-to-back fixtures for the first time.
- Bangladesh have won three of their last four men's ODIs against Afghanistan when playing on home turf on the day (L1).
- Bangladesh have won their last three men's ODIs on the bounce at home after having lost three in a row prior to that stretch; the last time they won more in succession was a nine-game streak from December 2018 to May 2021.
- Afghanistan have lost three of their last four men's ODIs (W1), including each of their last two; the last time they lost more in succession in the format was a 12-game stretch from June to November 2019.
- Bangladesh have scored 10% of their runs via cut shots in men's ODIs since the beginning of 2023, the highest rate of any Test-playing nation in that time and two percentage points higher than any other team.
- Afghanistan have a bowling economy of 5.8 runs per over in men's ODIs in 2023, the most expensive of any Test-playing nation in that period and nearly one run per over more expensive than Bangladesh (5 rpo).
- Afghanistan made a good connection on 59% of their balls faced in their last men's ODI (vs Sri Lanka in June 2023), their lowest rate in a game since June 2019 against New Zealand (56%).
- Towhid Hridoy (Bangladesh) has a batting dot ball rate of 37% from 224 balls faced in men's ODIs in 2023, the second-best rate of any player from a Test playing country to have faced at least 200 deliveries this year (Sean Williams – 35% for Zimbabwe).
- Najibullah Zadran (Afghanistan) has scored a half century in two of his last three ODI innings against Bangladesh; in fact, only against Ireland (5) has he logged more scores of 50+ runs in the format than he has against Bangladesh (2).
- Rahmat Shah (5) is one away from equaling Mohammad Shahzad (6) for the most hundreds for Afghanistan in men's ODIs; however, he has not scored a century across his last 16 ODI innings – his most recent was against Ireland in January 2021 (103*).
