- Sri Lanka have won four of their last five men’s ODIs against Australia at home (L1), including a 49-run victory in the first match of this series (12 February 2025); it’s as many as they won across their 14 such fixtures prior to that span (W4 L10).
- Australia have lost their last three men’s ODIs, more than they lost across their 18 matches in the format prior to that span (W16 L2); the last time they recorded a longer losing run was a five-match span in September 2023.
- Sri Lanka are undefeated in their last six men’s ODIs at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo (W5 T1) and have won their last three in succession; the last time they recorded a longer winning run at the venue was a five-match span from August 2018 to July 2019.
- Australia lost their only previous men’s ODI in 2025 (12 February v Sri Lanka); the last time they started a calendar year in the format with consecutive defeats was in 2018 (L3 – all vs England).
- Australia (12.9) and Sri Lanka (16.5) have the best bowling averages of any Test playing countries during the death overs (41st-50th) in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2024; in fact, they’re the only two Test playing countries to have logged a bowling dot ball rate of at least 50% during this period (Australia – 53%, Sri Lanka – 52%).
- Australia have recorded 2.95 runs per scoring shot during the powerplay in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2024, the most of any Test playing country in that time, while their batting dot ball rate during this period (62%) is the second best of any team (India – 58%).
- Wanindu Hasaranga (96) is four away from becoming the 18th player to take 100 wickets for Sri Lanka in men’s ODIs; if he achieves the milestone in this match (63*), he’d be the joint-fastest player to reach it for Sri Lanka in the history of the format (also Ajantha Mendis – 63 matches).
- Jake Fraser-McGurk (Australia) has recorded a batting strike rate of 136.9 from 65 balls faced in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2024, the best of any player in that time (min. 30 balls faced); in fact, only Luke Ronchi (205.4 from 37 balls faced) has logged a higher career batting strike rate for Australia in the history of the format (min. 5 balls faced) than Fraser-McGurk (136.9).
- Sri Lanka duo Maheesh Theekshana (225) and Asitha Fernando (198) have induced a false shot on more of their balls bowled than any other players from Test playing countries in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2024.
- Travis Head (Australia) has recorded 2.68 runs per scoring shot in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2024 (252 total runs), more than any other player from a Test playing country in that time (min. 90 runs scored); he’s scored 60+ in each of his last two ODI innings in Asia (62, 137).
