- Afghanistan have won seven of their last eight men’s ODIs against the Netherlands including their last four in a row; in fact, their last defeat to the Netherlands in the format came in March 2012 and this will be the first time they’re facing each other at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
- Afghanistan have won three of their last four men’s ODIs including their last two on the spin after having lost eight in a row prior to that term; in fact, the last time they won more in succession in the format was a five-game streak from February to November in 2022.
- Afghanistan have won three of their six games at the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup after having won only one of their 15 total games across their two previous appearances at the tournament (2015, 2019); in fact, their four total wins at the tournament are equal with the Netherlands who have played five more games.
- The Netherlands have played 26 games at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and will be looking to log back-to-back wins at the tournament for the first time after defeating Bangladesh by 87 runs in their last fixture; they’ve registered four total wins from their 26 games at the tournament so far.
- The Netherlands have hit the fewest sixes (18) and fours (111) among all teams at the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup; though, they are the only team to have hit fewer in either category than Afghanistan (27 sixes, 121 fours).
- England (5) are the only team to have dropped fewer catches at the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup than the Netherlands (6) while Afghanistan (10) have dropped four more catches than the Netherlands despite making nine fewer attempts.
- Mohammad Nabi (Afghanistan) has a bowling economy of 4.3 runs per over at the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, the best of any player from either Afghanistan or the Netherlands; though, his bowling average (57) and strike rate (80) are higher than that of any other player from either team.
- Colin Ackermann (Netherlands) has scored 152 runs at the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, the second most of any player yet to have hit a six at the tournament behind only Pakistan’s Imam Ul-Haq (162 runs).
- Scott Edwards has a batting average of 51 in his ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup career, the second highest of any player for Netherlands in the history of the tournament behind only Ryan ten Doeschate (62.1); Edwards has been dismissed for fewer than 68 runs only once in his last four innings.
- Mujeeb Ur Rahman’s next ODI wicket will be his 100th in the format, making him just the fourth Afghanistan player to reach a century of wickets in the format; he has taken seven wickets across three career innings against the Netherlands, striking at least once in each of those innings.
