- Sri Lanka have won each of their three meetings with Netherlands in men’s T20Is, with each of these wins coming during a Men’s T20 World Cup edition; in fact, among teams they have a 100%-win rate against, Ireland are they only other side they have faced as many times (P3 W3).
- Sri Lanka have lost each of their last two men’s T20Is, after losing just two in their seven games (W5) prior to that; the last time the Lions lost more consecutive games in the format was a three-game stretch between April and October in 2023.
- Netherlands have won just two of their last 15 men’s T20Is against full-member sides (L13), a win by 13 runs against South Africa and a five-wicket victory over Zimbabwe (both in November 2022); the Flying Dutchmen have lost each of their last four games in the format against full-member sides.
- Netherlands have won just one of their last six men’s T20Is (L5), including losses in each of their last two games; the sole win in this span was a six-wicket victory over Nepal, with Max O'Dowd scoring a game-high 54 off 48 balls (4 June 2024).
- Batters have left 6.1% of the deliveries bowled by Sri Lanka in the ongoing edition of the Men’s T20 World Cup, the highest of all sides; in the middle overs (7-15) this rate is at 7.4% for the Lions, again the highest of all sides.
- Netherlands are the only side to maintain a 100% catch success rate in the ongoing edition of the Men’s T20 World Cup, the first time they have managed to do so in a single season; the Flying Dutchmen have caught all 14 of the chances presented to them.
- Dasun Shanaka (1,456 runs) is 38 away from surpassing Mahela Jayawardene (1,493 runs) to become the Sri Lanka player with the fourth most runs in men’s T20Is; however, the last time Shanka scored 38+ runs in the format was in January 2023 (56* vs India).
- Max O’Dowd (42 fours) is six away from surpassing Stephan Myburgh (47) to become the Netherlands batter with the most boundary fours in the Men’s T20 World Cup; O’Dowd has struck 7 fours over his three innings in the competition this year.
- Nuwan Thushara (Sri Lanka) has taken 41.7% of his team’s wickets over his two innings in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup (4/18 vs Bangladesh & 1/18 vs South Africa), the joint second highest such share by player; only Afghanistan’s Fazalhaq Farooqi (46.2%) has logged a better such share.
- Michael Levitt has a batting average of 33.5 in men’s T20Is, the second highest among Netherlands’ players who have batted in at least 10 innings in the format (Ryan ten Doeschate – 41); however, Levitt is batting at an average of 6.3 in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
