- England have lost just two of their last eight completed men's ODIs against Sri Lanka (W6); however, those two losses were their two most recent games in that span (21 June 2019 and 23 October 2018 respectively).
- The last four multi game bilateral men's ODI series between England and Sri Lanka have seen each team pick up two wins apiece, with England winning the most recent two such series in October 2018 and June 2016, respectively.
- England have lost five of their last seven men's ODIs (W2), including a three-wicket defeat in their most recent match at home (16 September 2020 v Australia).
- Sri Lanka have just one win from their last six men's ODI matches (L5); however, that win was their most recent game against Bangladesh (28 May 2021).
- England have lost just one of their last eight men's ODI matches at the Riverside Ground (W7), their only loss during this run coming against Sri Lanka on 25 May 2014 by 157 runs.
- Sri Lanka have the best catch success percentage of any Test playing country in men's ODIs since the beginning of 2020 (87%), 13 percentage points higher than England (74%).
- Since the beginning of 2018, England's Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler have dropped 10 catches each in men's ODIs, only two other players from Test playing countries have dropped more than the England duo in that time (Mushfiqur Rahim - 12 and Ross Taylor - 11).
- Joe Root (England) needs just 38 runs to reach 6,000 in ODI cricket; he is the second highest run scorer for England in men's ODIs after Eoin Morgan (6,876).
- Chris Woakes (England) needs just one wicket to reach 150 in ODI cricket; he would be the sixth man to achieve the feat for England, and the fourth fastest (105 matches) to do so if he achieves the milestone in this game (Stuart Broad – 95, Darren Gough – 97 and Adil Rashid – 102).
- Kusal Perera (Sri Lanka) needs just 11 runs to reach 3,000 in ODI cricket, he would be the 17th man to achieve the feat for Sri Lanka, and the joint-third fastest (100 innings) to do so if he achieves the milestone in this game (Upul Tharanga – 93, Marvan Atapattu – 94 and Lahiru Thirimanne – 100).
