- This will be the third men’s T20I between the Netherlands and Sri Lanka; Sri Lanka have won each of their previous two meetings, batting second on the day in each of those fixtures.
- The Netherlands have won their last two matches at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, as many as they won across their nine fixtures prior (W2, L7); indeed, it’s the first time they have won consecutive games at the tournament.
- Sri Lanka have won six of their last seven men’s T20Is (L1); their only defeat in that span was a 55-run loss to Namibia (16 October 2022).
- The Netherlands have lost their last five men’s T20Is against Test playing countries, their longest losing run in such fixtures; they had lost only two of their nine such matches prior to that span (W6, T1).
- Sri Lanka have won eight men’s T20I matches this calendar year (P19 W8 T1 L10), equaling their most wins in a single calendar year (2014 and 2021); however, their win percentage of 42% in 2022 ranks eight in years where they have played a minimum of five matches.
- Sri Lanka have a bowling strike rate of 21 in men’s T20I since the beginning of 2020, the least amongst full member sides of the ICC who have featured in a minimum of 40 matches during that time.
- Paul van Meekeren (54) needs four more to equal the highest wicket taker for Netherlands in men’s T20I - Pieter Seelaar (58), he has taken four wickets in an innings twice before in his T20I career.
- Dasun Shanaka has a win percentage of 51 as captain of Sri Lanka, winning 18 of his 36 matches as the skipper of the side (T1 L17), only Kumar Sangakkara (59) and Mahela Jayawardena (66) have a better such rate than Shanaka.
- Pathum Nissanka has top scored on eight occasions for Sri Lanka in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2020, including his last innings of 74 against United Arab Emirates in the T20 World Cup, the most often by a player for the island nation during that time.
- Wanindu Hasaranga (Sri Lanka) has 63 wickets in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2020, the most for a spinner and the second most for any type of bowler (Haris Rauf – 64); he has also registered a bowling average of 14 in the format during this time span, the best for any spinner (min. 30 matches played).
