- Australia have won 10 of their last 11 men's ODIs against the West Indies (L1), including their last three on the bounce; this will be just their second meeting in the format in the last five years, however.
- The West Indies' last multigame bilateral men's ODI series win against Australia came in 1995; they have lost four of their six such series since (D2).
- The West Indies have won their last three men's ODIs on the bounce at Kensington Oval in Barbados; the last and only previous time they won more in succession at the venue was a four-win stretch in their first four games there from 1985 to 1990.
- Australia have won 63% of their men's ODIs in the West Indies, the second-highest win rate of any team behind only South Africa (66%); the West Indies have a 55% win rate from their 249 completed men's ODIs at home.
- Each of the West Indies' last eight wins in men's ODIs have come when chasing a target on the day; they have not batted first in a men's ODI and won since November 2019 against Afghanistan.
- Among Test playing nations only Sri Lanka (3.7%) have bowled a higher proportion of full toss deliveries from their total balls bowled in men's ODIs since the beginning of 2019 than the West Indies (2.5%).
- Australia has a catch success rate of 83% in men's ODIs since the beginning of 2019, the highest of any Test playing nation in that time; no Test playing nation has dropped more catches than the West Indies (55) in that time.
- Shai Hope (West Indies) has logged a score of 50+ in each of his last six ODI innings, including two centuries; only one player from any team in the history of the men's format has scored 50+ runs in more than six straight innings (Javed Miandad – 9 from March to October in 1987).
- Four of Shimron Hetmyer's last seven dismissals in men's ODI cricket for West Indies have been against spin, more times than in his 14 dismissals prior (3).
- Aaron Finch is 69 runs shy of becoming the sixth player to score 2,000 runs for Australia as captain in men's ODIs; his batting average of 49.5 as captain is the highest of any player to have captained Australia at least five times in the men's edition of the format.
