- Sri Lanka have won their last three men’s ODIs against West Indies, bowling first on the day in each of those three victories; in fact, they have won nine of their last 10 matches against them in the format when they have bowled first (L1) including each of their last four – a fifth consecutive win in this game would be their outright longest winning run in such fixtures.
- West Indies have won only one of their last seven men’s ODIs (L6) – a four-wicket victory against England (9 December 2023); they have lost each of their five matches since then, the last time they recorded a longer losing run in the format was a nine-match span from June to July in 2022.
- Sri Lanka are undefeated in their last five men’s ODIs (W4 T1); the last time they recorded a longer unbeaten run in the format was a 13-match span from June to September in 2023 (W13).
- Sri Lanka have won their last seven men’s ODIs at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium – their longest winning run at the venue in the history of the format; their most recent defeat at the venue was a 60-run loss against Afghanistan (25 November 2022).
- West Indies have a catch success rate of 89% (16/18) in men’s ODIs in 2024, the second best of any Test playing nation this year (Zimbabwe – 94%, 15/16); in fact, they have logged a 100% catch success rate across their last three innings in the format (7/7), as many times as they logged in their nine innings prior.
- Sri Lanka have a bowling average of 25.3 in men’s ODIs in 2024, the best of any Test playing country this year; although, their bowling strike rate (30.3) is the second best of any team (Australia – 29.8).
- Kusal Mendis (3,978) is 22 away from becoming the 11th player to score 4,000 runs for Sri Lanka in men’s ODIs; if he achieves the milestone in this innings (133*), he’d be the third fastest player to reach it for Sri Lanka in the history of the format (Upul Tharanga – 119 innings and Marvan Atapattu – 123 innings).
- Shai Hope (16) is one away from equaling Desmond Haynes (17) for the third most hundreds for West Indies in men’s ODIs (Chris Gayle – 25, Brian Lara – 19); however, he has scored fewer than 30 runs in each of his last six ODI innings (15, 12, 29, 4, 5, 5).
- Pathum Nissanka has scored 24.4% of Sri Lanka’s runs when he’s played in men’s ODIs in 2024, the best rate of any player for a Test playing country this year (min. 4 innings); he’s scored 598 runs at an average of 74.8 from nine innings in the format this year.
- Keacy Carty (West Indies) has a batting good connection rate of 78.7% from 253 balls faced in men’s ODIs in 2024, the third best of any player (min. 60 balls faced) from a Test playing nation this year (Mushfiqur Rahim – 84.5% of 148 balls faced for Bangladesh and Tawhid Hridoy – 80.8% of 146 balls faced for Bangladesh).
