- Australia have lost only one of their last 11 men’s T20Is against Sri Lanka (W9, T1), a five-wicket defeat in February 2022; indeed, their 13 victories against Sri Lanka in the format overall is their second most against a single opposition (W14 v South Africa).
- Australia have won each of their last three men’s T20Is against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka, after losing their only two such meetings prior; the Australians have batted second on the day in four of the five games across that span.
- Sri Lanka have won only one of their last nine men’s T20Is (T1, L7) and have lost their last four in succession; the last time they went on a longer losing run in the format was a five-match span from March to July in 2021.
- Australia have won eight of their last nine men’s T20Is in Asia (L1), including their last six on the bounce – their longest winning run on the continent in the history of the format.
- Sri Lanka have hit a boundary once every 8.2 balls in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2020, the second least frequent of any Test playing country in that time (Bangladesh – 8.7).
- Australia have taken 65 wickets during the death overs (17th-20th) of men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2020; only Pakistan (69) and West Indies (69) have logged more in that time amongst Test playing countries.
- Glenn Maxwell (1,982) is 18 away from becoming the third player to score 2,000 runs for Australia in men’s T20Is (Aaron Finch and David Warner); Maxwell’s T20I batting average against Sri Lanka (60.6) is the third best of any player in the men’s format with at least eight innings against them (Jos Buttler – 89.3 and David Warner – 64.7).
- Dasun Shanaka (947) is 53 away from becoming the eighth player to score 1,000 runs for Sri Lanka in men’s T20Is; although, he has scored less than 20 runs in each of his 14 innings at the R. Premadasa Stadium.
- Aaron Finch (19) is one away from becoming the seventh player to record 20 scores of 50+ in men’s T20Is and the second from Australia (David Warner); Finch has scored 50+ in each of his last two T20I innings (55, 61*).
- Australia duo David Warner (99) and Glenn Maxwell (97) are closing in on 100 sixes in men’s T20Is; only one Australian has previously reached the milestone (Aaron Finch – 117).
