- This multigame bilateral men's T20I series between Sri Lanka and India is currently level at 1-1; India is undefeated from the four previous such series they have contested (W3, D1).
- Sri Lanka won their most recent men's T20I against India by four wickets (28 July 2021); the last and only time they have recorded consecutive wins against India in this format was a two-match span from April 2014 to February 2016.
- Sri Lanka will be aiming to win back-to-back men's T20Is for the first time since October 2019, following their four-wicket win over India last time out.
- India will be looking to avoid back-to-back defeats away from home in men's T20Is for the first time since July 2017, following their four-wicket loss to Sri Lanka last time out.
- Sri Lanka have lost each of their last five multigame bilateral men's T20I series; a win in this match would seal their first triumph in such a series since a 3-0 victory over Pakistan in October 2019.
- India has a bowling dot ball percentage of 48% during the powerplay in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2019, the best amongst Test playing nations in that time; Sri Lanka (42%) have the lowest in this category during that period.
- India have dropped the most catching opportunities (42) of any Test playing country in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2019; Sri Lanka (14) have dropped the fewest in that time.
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar (50) is three away from becoming the third highest wicket taker for India in men's T20Is (Ravichandran Ashwin – 52); Kumar's T20I bowling strike rate against Sri Lanka (14.5) is his second best against any team he has bowled at least five overs against (13.2 v Pakistan).
- Minod Bhanuka (Sri Lanka) has scored a boundary once every 6.3 balls in this men’s T20I series against India, the most frequent of any player who has featured in each of the previous matches.
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar (India) has the best dot ball percentage (45%) of any bowler in this men's T20I series (min. 4 overs bowled) and six percentage points higher than Sri Lanka's best Dushmantha Chameera (39%).
