- West Indies defeated Sri Lanka by eight wickets in the first men's ODI of this series, snapping a five-match losing run against them in the format; they will now be aiming for back-to-back wins over the Lions for the first time since April 2008.
- West Indies have won four of their last five men's ODIs against Sri Lanka in the Caribbean (L1), after picking up just two victories in their six meetings prior at home (L4).
- Sri Lanka have lost their last four consecutive men's ODIs away from home, more than they lost in their seven fixtures prior on the road (W4, L3).
- West Indies have won each of their last two men's ODIs at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium; however, they have never won more in succession at the Antigua venue.
- West Indies have recorded 278 deliveries that have been wide in men's ODI cricket since the start of 2019, 53 more than any other Test-playing nation in that time; the Windies have opened the innings with a wide delivery on more occasions than any other team across that period (four), one of those coming in the series opener (10 March 2021).
- Sri Lanka have the best catch success rate of any Test-playing nation in men's ODIs since the start of 2020 (85%); the Windies recorded three drops in the field last time out (10 March 2021), last dropping more in a men's ODI fixture back in February 2019 (six v England).
- Ashen Bandara comes into this encounter having become only the fifth man to score a half-century on ODI debut for Sri Lanka (10 March 2021), joining Sunil Wettimuny (1975), Chamara Silva (1999), Ashan Priyanjan (2013) and Kusal Mendis (2016) in that list.
- Danushka Gunathilaka (Sri Lanka) was out for 55 last time out at this venue against West Indies (10 March 2021), he was dismissed Obstructing the Field; the first time a men's ODI batter from a Test-playing nation has been removed in that fashion since September 2015 (Ben Stokes v Australia).
- Shai Hope (West Indies) has scored a half-century in each of his last four men's ODIs innings versus Sri Lanka (115, 51, 72 and 110); Brian Lara (two) is the only other Windies player to record multiple hundreds against the Lions in the format.
- Only one man (Rohit Sharma, eight) has recorded more ODI centuries since the start of 2019 than Shai Hope (six); he comes into this match having just logged his first ODI ton on home soil (110, 10 March 2021).
