- India have won nine of their last 10 men's T20Is against Sri Lanka, including a seven-wicket win in the second scheduled match of this series; seven of the 10 games in that span have been won by the chasing side.
- Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium has hosted a men's T20I between India and Sri Lanka once before; the Lions registered a five-wicket victory at the Pune venue in the 2016 encounter.
- Sri Lanka have a 23% win rate in men's T20Is in India (3/13); among Test-playing nations, only Ireland (0%, 0/8) have endured a less impressive winning record there.
- India have already extended their unbeaten run in men's bilateral T20I series to five after securing victory last time out (W3 D1 prior to this series); their most recent such series defeat came against Australia (February 2019).
- Sri Lanka have tasted defeat in four men's T20I games in a row coming into this contest; they enjoyed a four-game winning streak immediately beforehand.
- India have won five of their last six men's T20Is on home soil (L1), after winning just one of their five completed matches prior (L4).
- Virat Kohli (India) has averaged 104.3 across his five T20I knocks versus Sri Lanka; reaching half-centuries in four of them whilst his most recent appearance against the Lions saw him post 30 not out.
- Five of the six players to have scored the most runs by steering to the third man region in men's T20Is (Test-playing teams) since the start of 2018 play for India; Rohit Sharma (55), Shikhar Dhawan (36), Lokesh Rahul (36), Virat Kohli (30) and Manish Pandey (30).
- Rohit Sharma (India) has dropped four easy catches in men's T20Is since the start of 2018; the most of any player for a Test-playing nation in that time.
- Whilst Shardul Thakur (India) took three wickets in the previous men's T20I game; it's worth noting that it was his best economy rate in the format, going for just 5.8 across his four overs.
