- Australia have won their last five men's ODIs in succession against Sri Lanka, including a two-wicket win in the first game of the current series; the last time they won more in succession against them was a seven-game streak from February 2006 to February 2008.
- Sri Lanka have lost each of their last four home games against Australia in men's ODIs, last winning at home to Australia on 24 August 2016; in fact, they are yet to win against Australia at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium (L3).
- Sri Lanka have lost eight of their last 12 men's ODIs at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium (W4) and will be looking to avoid back-to-back losses there for the first time since October 2018 after losing the first game of the current series against Australia by two wickets.
- Australia have won five of their last eight men's ODIs played outside Australia (L3) after having won only two of their 10 such fixtures prior (L8); however, they have a 57% win rate in the format in Sri Lanka – their second-lowest in any country (52% in England).
- Sri Lanka have a catch success rate of 73% in men's ODIs since the beginning of 2022, the lowest rate of any Test-playing nation in that time; they have dropped four of their 15 catch attempts in that period.
- Australia have the highest bowling economy (5.9 runs per over) and strike rate (52) in men's ODIs of any team since the beginning of 2022 among Test-playing nations; indeed, no team has taken fewer than Australia's 21 wickets in that term.
- Australia (203.6) and Sri Lanka (195.8) boast the highest batting strike rates against short deliveries of any Full Member nations in men's ODIs in 2022, while no team has been dismissed by short deliveries fewer times than Australia (1) in that period.
- Chamika Karunaratne (Sri Lanka) has a batting dot ball rate of just 28% from his four ODI innings in 2022, the lowest rate of any player from a Test playing country to have featured in more than a single innings in the men's format in that time.
- Pathum Nissanka (Sri Lanka) has scored a half century in three of his last four ODI innings including his last two in succession; he had scored no more than six runs in any of his four previous innings in the format.
- Glenn Maxwell (Australia) top scored for Australia in the first game of this men's ODI series against Sri Lanka with 80* and now boasts a batting average of 56.4 against them in the format – his highest average against any opposition.
