- This will be the fourth multigame bilateral men’s T20I series between Sri Lanka and West Indies; West Indies are undefeated (W2 D1) in their previous three such series (1-1 – November 2015, 2-0 – March 2020, 2-1 – March 2021).
- Sri Lanka have won only one of their last six men’s T20Is (T1 L4) – a 83-run victory against Netherlands (16 June 2024 – ICC Men’s T20 World Cup); they are winless in their three games since then (T1 L2) – the last time they recorded a longer winless run in the format was a five-match span from January to October in 2023 (T1 L4).
- West Indies have won five of their last six multigame bilateral men’s T20I series (L1) – their only defeat in that span was a 1-2 loss against Australia (February 2024).
- Sri Lanka have won two of their three men’s T20Is at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium (L1); they have batted first on the day in each of those two victories and their only defeat at the venue in the format came when they bowled first on the day (21 February 2024 v Afghanistan).
- West Indies have a collective batting average of 31.5 in men’s T20Is in 2024 – the best of any Test playing country this year; in addition, their batting strike rate (157.8) is the second best of any Test playing country in the format this year (Australia – 162.4).
- Sri Lanka have a bowling strike rate of 15.6 during the powerplay in men’s T20Is in 2024 – the best of any Test playing country this year; their bowling average during this period (18.3) is the second best of any Test playing country this year (Afghanistan – 17.8).
- Maheesh Theekshana (49) is one away from becoming the sixth player to take 50 wickets for Sri Lanka in men’s T20Is; although, West Indies (4 overs bowled) are one of two teams he’s faced in the format without taking a wicket (also 0 wickets from 8 overs bowled v England).
- Andre Fletcher (980) is 20 away from becoming the 12th player to score 1,000 runs for West Indies in men’s T20Is; he’s scored 50+ in two of his last three T20I innings against Sri Lanka (84*, 23, 57) including 84* last time out (20 March 2016) – his highest score in the format.
- Batters have left 12.2% of Matheesha Pathirana’s (Sri Lanka) 205 balls bowled in men’s T20Is in 2024, the highest rate of any player from a Test playing country this year (min. 30 balls bowled).
- Shai Hope (West Indies) has a batting strike rate of 180.3 from 61 balls faced during the powerplay in men’s T20Is in 2024, the second best of any player (min. 50 balls faced in Powerplay) from a Test playing country this year (Travis Head – 190.4 from 228 balls faced for Australia).
