- England have won both of their previous two men’s ODI matches against Afghanistan, each of these games also being played during the men’s Cricket World Cup in 2015 and 2019 respectively.
- England opened their account in the 2023 men’s Cricket World Cup by beating Bangladesh by 137 runs in their most recent match, after losing to New Zealand in their tournament opener; the Three Lions haven’t won consecutive men’s ODIs in India since winning two straight games against West Indies and South Africa during the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
- Afghanistan have now lost seven of their last eight men’s ODI matches in India (W1), including each of the last six such games on the bounce; their only win in the format in this span came against Ireland in March 2019.
- England have won five of their last six men’s ODI matches, with the only loss during that span coming by a margin of nine wickets in their 2023 World Cup opener against New Zealand.
- England have logged a batting dot ball percentage of 48% against seam bowlers in men’s ODIs in 2023, the best such rate of any full-member side this year; Afghanistan rank last in this category, with a batting dot ball rate of 60% against seamers in men’s ODIs this year.
- Afghanistan spinners have logged a bowling economy rate of 4.7 in men’s ODIs in 2023, the best such rate of any full-member side this year; England are ranked 10th in this category (5.6).
- Joe Root (54) is one 50 away from equalling Eoin Morgan’s record of most scores of 50+ in men’s ODIs by an England batter (55); Root has scored 77 and 82 in his first two games of the 2023 Cricket World Cup and scored 88 in his only previous innings against Afghanistan in men’s ODIs in 2019.
- Mohammad Nabi (149) is set to become the first player to feature in 150 men’s ODIs for Afghanistan; Nabi is also the most capped player for the Afghans in men’s Cricket World Cup history with 17 appearances.
- England’s Dawid Malan logged a batting strong connection rate of 19.6% in his knock of 140 against Bangladesh in his most recent game; Malan has aggregated a batting strong connection rate of 14.8 in men’s ODIs in 2023, the joint second highest of any England batter to have faced 150+ balls in the format this year (Ben Stokes – 18.7%).
- Ibrahim Zadran (955) is 45 away from reaching 1,000 runs in men’s ODIs for Afghanistan; if he manages the feat in his next innings (22nd*), he will become the fastest Afghan batter to do so in terms of innings taken, beating Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s current record of 27 innings.
