- Sri Lanka have won five of their last six men's ODI clashes against West Indies, including a nail-biting one-run victory in their last meeting in November 2016.
- Sri Lanka have won their last three ICC Men's Cricket World Cup games against the Windies; however, they had lost each of their four completed games at the tournament prior.
- The only completed ODI game in England between Sri Lanka and the Windies occurred in June 1975, when the Windies picked up a nine-wicket victory at Old Trafford; it was an ICC Men's Cricket World Cup match.
- Each of Sri Lanka's last seven completed men's ODI have seen the result alternate between a win and a loss (W3, L4), with their most recent fixture ending in a nine-wicket defeat to South Africa.
- Sri Lanka will be aiming to avoid back-to-back defeats in a single edition of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup for the first time since succumbing to Australia and India in consecutive games during the 2003 campaign.
- West Indies have lost their last five men's ODIs in a row; the last time they lost more was an eight-game streak in their final eight matches of 2017.
- West Indies are playing their third men's ODI fixture at the Riverside, Durham after playing a brace of games there during the 2000 NatWest Tri-Series against England and Zimbabwe - they are yet to register a win at the venue in this format (L2).
- West Indies are one of only two teams (2+ games) against whom Kusal Perera (Sri Lanka) boasts a career batting strike rate of 100 or higher in ODIs (105.4 v Pakistan & 100.6 v Windies).
- Chris Gayle (West Indies) is set to play his 294th men's ODI game, moving just one shy of Brian Lara (295) for the joint-most of any player in the history of the format for the Windies; he also needs a knock of just 53 runs to eclipse Lara (10,348) as the most prolific Windies' run scorer in men's ODI history.
- Sheldon Cottrell (West Indies) will be the only player featuring in this fixture between Sri Lanka and the Windies to have taken 10 or more wickets at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019; this will be his first clash against Sri Lanka in any format.
