- Sri Lanka defeated West Indies by 73 runs when they last met in a men’s T20I (15 October 2024) – their biggest winning margin against them (by runs) in the history of the format; they will be aiming for back-to-back wins against them in the format for the first time since November 2015.
- West Indies have won only one of their last 10 men’s T20Is in Asia (L9) – a five-wicket victory against Sri Lanka (13 October 2024); in fact, they have lost 32 matches on the continent overall – the joint-second most of any team from outside Asia in the history of the format (also Zimbabwe – 32) behind only Ireland (35).
- Sri Lanka have won eight of their 17 men’s T20Is in 2024 (T1 L8), their joint-second most victories in a calendar year in the history of the format (also 2014 – 8 and 2021 – 8) behind only their tally in 2022 (W11).
- Sri Lanka have won three of all their five men’s T20Is at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium (L2), including a 73-run victory against West Indies in their last match at the venue (15 October 2024); all three of their victories at the venue in that span have come batting first on the day.
- West Indies have hit a boundary once every 3.9 balls faced during the powerplay in men’s T20Is in 2024, the second most frequently of any Test playing country this year (Australia – once every 3.4 balls faced).
- Sri Lanka have scored 578 runs during the death overs (17th-20th) in men’s T20Is in 2024, the second most of any Test playing country this year (India – 729); although, they have recorded 28 sixes, seven fewer than West Indies during this period (35).
- Evin Lewis (13) is one away from surpassing Nicholas Pooran (13) for the outright second most scores of 50+ for West Indies in men’s T20Is (Chris Gayle – 16); although, he’s scored 50+ only once in his last eight T20I innings (50 v Sri Lanka – 13 October 2024).
- Kusal Perera (1,826) is 64 away from becoming the all-time leading run scorer for Sri Lanka in men’s T20I history (Tillakaratne Dilshan – 1,889); although, he’s been dismissed for fewer than 10 runs in two of all his three T20I innings at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium (0, 6, 24).
- Shai Hope (West Indies) has a batting false shot rate of 27.9% from 61 balls faced during the powerplay in men’s T20Is in 2024, the second best of any player (min. 20 balls faced) from a Test playing country this year (Tristan Stubbs – 27.1% from 48 balls faced for South Africa).
- Batters have left 11.4% of Matheesha Pathirana’s (Sri Lanka) 236 balls bowled in men’s T20Is in 2024, the highest rate of any player from a Test playing country this year (min. 30 balls bowled).
