- Sri Lanka are winless in their last five men’s T20Is in Sri Lanka (T1 L4); if they fail to win this game, it will be their outright longest winless run in the history of the format (also lost five consecutive losses from September 2021 to June 2022).
- West Indies have won their last two men’s T20Is away from home, after losing three of their previous four before that span (W1); they will be looking to win three away matches in a row for the first time since a three-game streak from March to August 2016.

- Alzarri Joseph (49) and Romario Shepherd (48) are one and two wickets respectively away from becoming the eighth players to take 50 wickets in men’s T20Is for West Indies; only Gudakesh Motie (18) has taken more wickets than Joseph (17) and Shepherd (15) for West Indies since the start of 2024.
