- Sri Lanka have lost only one of their prior five women’s T20Is against Ireland (W4), however, that sole loss came in the most recent meeting between the two sides in the format on 13 August 2024 with Ireland winning by seven runs of that occasion.
- Sri Lanka have lost two of their three matches at ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, including their most recent game against the West Indies on June 21 by five wickets; the Lankans haven’t lost consecutively in women’s T20Is outside of Asia since a three-game losing run between February and August 2023.
- Ireland have lost each of their 10 women’s T20Is in England; indeed, among sides participating in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 only them and Netherlands have never won a women’s T20I in the country.
- Sri Lanka batters have scored runs at a rate of 6.45 runs per over during ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, on course to being their highest such rate in a single edition of the competition; indeed, this is just the second time they are scoring at more than a run a ball in the competition (also in 2020).
- Ireland have logged a bowling economy rate of 5.7 during the powerplay overs of ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, the second best such rate of any side after Australia (5.2).
- Sri Lanka players have saved 15 runs while fielding in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 so far, the outright most by any team; they have also had 18 shy’s at the stumps in the field in the tournament, the joint-most of any side alongside New Zealand.
- Kavisha Dilhari has accounted for 44.4% of Sri Lanka’s wickets during the non-powerplay overs in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, the second highest such share of any bowler with minimum five overs bowled in this period (Caroline de Lange – 50%).
- Ireland duo of Orla Prendergast (6.3) and Aimee Maguire (7.5) have recorded the best and the third best bowling average during the powerplay overs in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup among bowlers with at least five overs bowled in this phase (Hayley Matthews – 7.4).
- Nilakshi de Silva has scored 123 at an average of 61.5 in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, she is just 32 runs away from breaking Chamari Athapaththu’s record for the most runs by a Sri Lanka batter in a single edition of the competition (154 runs in 2020).
- Cara Murray (47) is three wickets away from becoming the fifth bowler to take 50 wickets in women’s T20Is for Ireland; Murray recorded 2 for 26 in Ireland’s most recent game against New Zealand.
