- Sri Lanka have failed to win any of their last seven completed One-Day Internationals versus England (T1 L6); they had won three on the spin immediately beforehand against them.
- This is Sri Lanka's sixth ODI bilateral series loss in a row; they've now gone 10 series without recording victory (D1, L9), their last series win coming in 2016 against Ireland.
- Failure to record victory in this game will mark Sri Lanka's third bilateral ODI series whitewash defeat in five attempts (Pakistan and India in 2017).
- Sri Lanka have tasted defeat in 24 of their last 30 ODI matches, managing just six wins in that time; they are currently enduring a five-match losing streak in this format.
- England have claimed 41 victories in their 53 completed ODI matches since June 2016 (T1 L11); the most ODI wins in that time of any side.
- Sri Lanka have taken on England nine times before in ODI cricket at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, winning eight of them; the tourists recorded that sole victory in October 2007.
- Joe Root needs 39 runs to become only the fourth man to post 1,000 ODI runs in matches played out between England and Sri Lanka; he'll be the first to reach that many for England (Sangakkara, Jayawardene and Jayasuriya).
- Joe Root (936) is only 64 shy of scoring 1,000 ODI runs in 2018, his previous best tally in a calendar year was 983 in 2017; 64 runs would also see Root reach 5,000 ODI career runs (currently 4,936).
- Eoin Morgan comes into this game having registered scores of 31*, 58*, 92, 14*, 88* and 53 across his last six ODI innings (averaging 168 in that time); he's averaged 44 as an ODI captain with the bat compared to 34 when he wasn't playing as skipper.
- Adil Rashid (41) requires three wickets to go above John Emburey (43) as the player to record the most ODI wickets in a calendar year by an England player (James Anderson also 41 in 2003).
