- Sri Lanka have failed to win any of their last four completed One-Day Internationals versus England (T1 L3); they had won three on the spin immediately beforehand against them.
- England and Sri Lanka have met twice before in ODIs at this venue in Kandy, each side picking up a victory in two clashes in December 2014.
- Sri Lanka won their last ODI at the Pallekele International Stadium (v South Africa), ending a run of four straight losses at the venue.
- Sri Lanka’s last six ODIs have all been won by the side batting first (W2, L4).
- England have won 76% of their completed ODIs since June 2016 (W39 L11 T1), the best rate of any side in that time; Sri Lanka have mustered a win rate of just 29% over the same period, only Zimbabwe and PNG have worse rates in this time.
- Lasith Malinga has taken 24 wickets at the Pallekele Stadium in Kandy, six more than any other bowler.
- Upul Tharanga needs 64 runs to become the eighth Sri Lankan player to reach 7,000 ODI runs, he’s yet to score that many in any of his 13 innings in 2018 however, averaging just 25 in the calendar year.
- Jonny Bairstow has scored 1,021 ODI runs in 2018 so far, another 66 runs will see him surpass David Gower’s tally of 1,086 in 1983, only Jonathan Trott (1,315 in 2011) has scored more in a calendar year for England.
- Joe Root (896) is only 104 shy of scoring 1,000 ODI runs in 2018, his previous best tally in a calendar year was 983 in 2017; 104 runs would also see Root reach 5,000 ODI career runs (currently 4,896).
- Liam Plunkett (114), Adil Rashid (113) and Chris Woakes (112) are all close to passing Phil DeFreitas (115) as England’s sixth highest ODI wicket taker.
