- Pakistan have now won five men’s ODI matches in a row against Afghanistan stretching back to 2012 after winning the 1st ODI in the ongoing series; Afghanistan is the only full member team which Pakistan have not lost a men’s ODI match against.
- Afghanistan’s 142-run loss against Pakistan last time out breaks a six match ODI winning streak at a neutral venue, stretching back to 2021; prior to that, Afghanistan had lost 12 matches in a row at a neutral venue throughout 2019 including the 2019 Cricket World Cup.
- Pakistan will be looking to win their sixth men’s ODI match in a row at a neutral venue; it is currently their best win streak at a neutral venue since winning nine in a row back in 2017 which includes their 2017 Champions Trophy victory.
- Afghanistan’s 59 all out in the 1st ODI of this ongoing series was the lowest men’s ODI score against Pakistan by any team in men’s ODI history, surpassing New Zealand’s 64 at Sharjah back in 1986; they’ll be looking to avoid getting out for double digits in consecutive matches for the first time in their ODI history.
- Pakistan’s margin of victory of 142 runs in the 1st ODI of this ongoing series, was their second largest (by runs) at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium after defeating Kenya by 205 runs during the 2011 Cricket World Cup; they have won the second most matches by a men’s ODI team in Hambantota behind Sri Lanka (11).
- Rashid Khan’s (Afghanistan) 18.6 bowling average is the best in men’s ODI cricket (min. 150 wickets); he has the second-best strike rate (26.8) out of all ODI bowlers behind Australia’s Mitchell Starc (25.9) (min. 150 wickets).
- Imam-ul-Haq (Pakistan) has the second highest batting average (51.5) as an opener in men’s ODI cricket (min. 50 matches) only behind Rohit Sharma (55.8); his teammate Fakhar Zaman (47.7) is sixth on the list.
- Fakhar Zaman is one century away from being fourth for most centuries (11) by a Pakistan batter in men’s ODIs, tied with Mohammad Hafeez; only Saeed Anwar (20), Babar Azam (18) and Mohammad Yousuf (15) have more.
- Ibrahim Zadran has scored 27% of Afghanistan’s runs in men’s ODIs in 2023, the second highest rate of any player (min. 4 innings) from a Test playing country for their team this year (Sean Williams – 29% for Zimbabwe).
- Mujeeb Ur Rahman (Afghanistan) has a bowling dot ball percentage of 61% in men’s ODIs in 2023, the best rate of any spin bowling from a Test playing country (min. 2 overs bowled).
