- This will be just the second meeting in men's T20Is between Sri Lanka and the Netherlands and the first since Sri Lanka ran out to a nine-wicket win against the Netherlands in March 2014.
- Sri Lanka dismissed the Netherlands for just 39 runs in their only previous men's T20I encounter in March 2014, the fifth lowest score of any team to have all batters dismissed in the men's edition of the format.
- Sri Lanka have won all five of their previous men's T20Is against non-Test teams, including a seven-wicket win over Namibia earlier in the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
- The Netherlands are winless in their last four men's T20Is heading into this fixture (T1, L3); the last time they went longer without a win was a six-game losing streak from June to September in 2019 which included a Super Over loss to Zimbabwe.
- Sri Lanka have won 24 of their 37 matches in the ICC World T20 tournament (T1, L12) the most by a team; they have the best win percentage of any team who have played a minimum of four matches in the tournament (65%).
- Since the beginning of 2020, Sri Lanka have a batting strike rate of 114 in men's T20Is, the poorest rate amongst all Test playing nation.
- Wanindu Hasaranga has a career bowling strike rate of 14.2 in men's T20I, it is the seventh best for any player amongst Test playing nations and the second best for Sri Lanka in the format (min. 2 overs).
- Pieter Seelaar (37) is one away from making the most appearances as captain of Netherlands in men’s T20Is (Peter Borren - 37); however, Seelaar has won only 50% of his matches compared to Borren's 58% in this format.
- Kusal Perera is just 73 runs shy of becoming the second player to reach 1,500 men's T20I runs for Sri Lanka; he's reached that mark four times in his career while only Tillakaratne Dilshan (14) has more 50+ scores for Sri Lanka in men's T20Is than Perera (12).
- Dinesh Chandimal is just 50 short of scoring 1,000 runs for Sri Lanka in T20Is, in doing so he will become just the seventh Sri Lankan to achieve this feat for his country.
