- Sri Lanka have won each of their four meetings with Netherlands in men’s ODIs, including their most recent such meeting in the ongoing World Cup qualifiers by a 21-run margin (30 June 2023); only against Ireland have the Lions won more games without a loss in the format – five.
- Netherlands have won four of their last six men’s ODIs (T1 L1), including their last two on the bounce; the last time they won more consecutive games in the format was a stretch of three between September 2011 and March 2012.
- Sri Lanka have won their last nine men’s ODIs on the bounce, including an eight-wicket win against West Indies in their most recent match (7 July 2023); the last time the Lions won more consecutive games in the format was a stretch of 10 between December 2013 and May 2014.
- Netherlands have alternated between a win and a loss in each of their last four men’s ODIs against Asia teams (W2 L2), including a 74-run win in their most recent such match (vs Oman - 3 July 2023); a win against Sri Lanka would be the first time they’d beat Asia teams in consecutive games in the format.
- Sri Lanka have logged a collective bowling average of 17.7 in the ongoing men’s World Cup qualifiers, the lowest of all teams; with a bowling average of 33.8, Netherlands are fifth in this category so far.
- Netherlands have dropped 14 catches in the ongoing men’s World Cup qualifiers, the joint second most of all teams (also Scotland); only West Indies (17) have dropped more catches so far.
- Scott Edwards (13) is one 50+ score away from tying Ryan ten Doeschate (14) as the Netherlands batter with the most 50+ scores in men’s ODIs; Edwards has logged four 50+ scores in the ongoing men’s World Cup qualifiers, second to only Zimbabwe’s Sean Williams – five.
- No bowler has logged more wickets via dismissal type LBW in men’s ODIs since the start of 2023 than Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga – 11; however, he has failed to record such a dismissal in each of his last two innings.
- Shariz Ahmad has logged a bowling strike rate of 29.8 in men’s ODIs, the second lowest such rate among Netherlands bowlers who have bowled in at least 10 innings in the format (Ryan ten Doeschate – 28.7).
- Kusal Mendis (2,902 runs) is 98 away from becoming the 18th Sri Lanka batter to score 3,000 runs in men’s ODIs; however the last time Mendis scored a ton in the format was a 119-run effort against West Indies (26 February 2020).
