- Bangladesh have won four of their last six men’s T20Is against Sri Lanka including their last two in a row despite losing the toss in each of those last two meetings; indeed, the teams are split at six wins apiece when facing each other on neutral ground.
- This will be the third meeting between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka at the Men’s T20 Asia Cup, the teams splitting wins from their previous two encounters – Bangladesh won by 23 runs in 2016, while Sri Lanka won by 2 wickets in 2022.
- Eight of the last 10 men’s T20Is at Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi have been won by the team batting second on the day, including each of the two games at the venue so far in 2025.
- Bangladesh have won seven of their last eight men’s T20Is including their last three in a row after losing six consecutive matches prior to that eight-game term; indeed, five of their last six wins in the format have come when they’ve been batting second on the day.
- Bangladesh have won four of their last six men’s T20Is in the United Arab Emirates after losing all their seven previous games in the country prior, while Sri Lanka are on a five-game winning streak in the format in the UAE but haven’t played there since 2022.
- Sri Lanka have won four of their seven men’s T20Is so far in 2025 which is as many as they had won through their last 13 games in 2024 (W4 T1 L8), and they have won two of their last three matches heading into the 2025 Asia Cup.
- Litton Das (Bangladesh) – who has scored a half century in three of his last four T20I innings – needs just four runs to become the second player to reach 2,500 runs scored for Bangladesh in the format; though, he’s reached 50 runs in only one of his 10 innings against Sri Lanka.
- Taskin Ahmed (Bangladesh) has taken 96 career wickets in T20Is and needs only four more to reach 100, a mark reached by only two players for Bangladesh previously (Shakib Al Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman); indeed, Ahmed has taken multiple wickets in each of his last five innings (14 total).
- Pathum Nissanka (Sri Lanka) has scored 30+ runs in eight of their last 10 T20I innings and has scored 30+ runs in three of his last four innings against Bangladesh but has never logged a half-century against them.
- Kusal Mendis (Sri Lanka) has a batting strike rate of 159.8 against Bangladesh in T20Is, the highest of any player to bat at least three innings in men’s matches between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka; his 529 runs are also the most of any player in matches between these teams, but he’s scored just 8 and 6 runs across his last two innings against Sri Lanka.
