- Australia have won all four of their previous men’s ODIs against Afghanistan, including a 3-wicket win in their most recent encounter (November 7, 2023); indeed, only against Kenya (W5) and Scotland (W5) have Australia completed more men’s ODIs and never lost.
- Afghanistan have won four of their last five men’s ODIs, including an 8-run win against England in their most recent such fixture; in fact, they’ve won nine of their last 12 matches in the format after winning only four of their previous 18 games.
- Each of Afghanistan’s four men’s ODIs in Pakistan have been won by the team batting first on the day, but only twice but margins of more than eight runs on the day; Afghanistan have managed only one win from those four fixtures, though.
- Australia have a 61% win rate in men’s ODIs in Pakistan, which is the highest win rate of any visiting team there in the format and just three percentage points behind Pakistan (64%); indeed, Australia have never been dismissed for fewer than 210 runs in an innings there.
- Australia have won only two of their last six men’s ODIs outside Australia (L4) after they had won 11 in a row away from home prior to that stretch; in fact, Australia have been dismissed for fewer than 170 runs in three of their last five innings outside Australia.
- Australia had a batting strike rate of 126.7 during the power play in their first game at the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy after scoring at less than one run per ball across the power play in each of their four previous men’s ODIs; though, they’ve scored at one run per ball or better during the power play in only one of their four games against Afghanistan.
- Ibrahim Zadran (Afghanistan) scored 177 in his most recent men’s ODI innings (vs England on 26 February), the highest individual score in ICC Champions Trophy history; in fact, he scored an unbeaten century (129*) in his only match in the format against Australia.
- Glenn Maxwell (Australia) scored 201 runs from 128 balls without being dismissed in his last ODI innings against Afghanistan, the highest ever score against Afghanistan at the time and currently the second highest; indeed, it was also Maxwell’s personal best innings in the format.
- Rahmat Shah (3,963) is 37 runs away from becoming the first player to reach 4,000 ODI runs for Afghanistan and has scored 43 and 30 runs in his two previous innings in the format against Australia.
- Josh Inglis (Australia) has made a good connection on more than 70% of his balls faced in each of his last two ODI appearances, after not being above 70% in any of his previous five innings in the format; though, he was dismissed for a first-ball duck in his only previous innings against Afghanistan.
