- Sri Lanka have never lost a men's bilateral ODI series to Bangladesh; this will be the eighth such series between these sides, the Lions winning five of the previous seven (D2).
- The last six men's ODIs played out between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have seen both sides record three victories apiece; the Tigers won the most recent such encounter by a margin of 137 runs (September 2018), their World Cup game scheduled to take place in Bristol was abandoned without a ball bowled.
- R.Premadasa Stadium is hosting a men's ODI fixture between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh for the seventh time; all of the previous six fixtures have been won by Sri Lanka.
- Sri Lanka are looking to register their third victory on the bounce in men's ODIs at R.Premadasa Stadium; they saw off South Africa and England during their only outings at the Colombo venue in 2018.
- Sri Lanka and Bangladesh come into this bilateral series on the back of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 where both these sides failed to progress from the group stage; both teams picked up three wins as the Lions (L4, NR2) finished sixth out of 10 sides and the Tigers ended in eighth (L5, NR1).
- After enjoying a five-match winning run in men's ODIs, Bangladesh have since suffered five defeats in seven in this format (W2), whilst Sri Lanka have alternated between victory and defeat across their last nine outings in ODI cricket, they lost last time out (v India).
- Sri Lanka posted the two highest scores at ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 after the first powerplay (overs 1-10); recording 87 and 79 against Australia and Afghanistan respectively.
- Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka) is set to appear in his final ODI game; he ranks 10th in the all-time list of wicket-takers in the format (335) and is the only man ever to pick up four wickets in four consecutive balls in any form of international cricket.
- Mushfiqur Rahim and Tamim Iqbal are both set to register their 200th ODI innings in this match; Mushfiqur's highest score in ODIs came against Sri Lanka (144 in 2018) and he requires 75 to become only the third man to record 6,000 for the Tigers in this format (Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan).
- Bangladesh will be without Shakib Al Hasan who has been rested after recording seven scores of 50+ at ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019, only Sachin Tendulkar (7 in 2003) has achieved this before in an edition of the tournament.
