- England and Afghanistan have met just once before in a men’s ODI; that clash coming at the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup with England winning by nine wickets.
- England have won eight of their last 10 men’s ODIs at Old Trafford (L2), with their only defeats in that time coming against Australia.
- This will be the first match in any format that Afghanistan have played at Old Trafford in Manchester, they are still searching for a first win in England/Wales (L4 ODIs).
- England have lost just one of their last 21 ODIs in England/Wales when chasing a target (W19, T1), that defeat coming against Pakistan at Trent Bridge earlier in this ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
- Hashmatullah Shahidi needs 46 runs to reach 1,000 in ODIs, while he would become the ninth Afghanistan player to reach this milestone.
- Rashid Khan has dismissed Jos Buttler four times in Twenty20 cricket, three times in the IPL and once in the Big Bash, bowling a total of 10 balls against him for four runs conceded in that time.
- Joe Root’s century against West Indies in England’s last match of the 2019 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup was his third in his World Cup career, more than any other England player has managed (Kevin Pietersen 2) - he needs 19 more runs to become the seventh England player to score 500 World Cup runs.
- No player in the current England squad has batted or bowled against Afghanistan in an ODI game before; Joe Root, Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler all featured in the solitary clash between the sides at the 2015 World Cup, none of them batted or bowled however.
- Moeen Ali (England) has taken more ODI wickets at Old Trafford than any other spinner, with his eight scalps at the Manchester venue coming at an average of 13.5.
- Since the conclusion of the 2015 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, Liam Plunkett has scored 305 ODI runs at a strike rate of 135.6; the highest rate of any England batsman to score more than 10 runs in that time.
