- Each of the last four ODIs between Ireland and Afghanistan has been won by the team to lose the toss; each side picking up two wins in that span.
- Victory for Ireland would see them claim back-to-back bilateral ODI series wins against Afghanistan, after they had drawn and lost their previous two (2+ match series).
- Ireland have won three of their last five ODIs at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast and will be searching for consecutive wins at the venue for the first time since September 2013.
- Ireland now have eight ODI victories to their name in 2018; only once in their history have they managed more ODI wins in a single calendar year (11 wins in 2010).
- Among the nine ODI teams they've faced more than twice, only against Bangladesh (40%) do Afghanistan have a lower win rate than against Ireland (47%).
- Ireland's victory in the second match of this series was their first ODI win in Europe since July 2016 (also against Afghanistan); they will now be searching for back-to-back wins in Europe for the first time since a brace of wins against Scotland in September 2014.
- Afghanistan's opening partnership has been broken for fewer than 20 runs in six of their last nine ODIs against Ireland, including in both of the matches so far in this series.
- Gary Wilson is just 49 shy of his 2,000th ODI run; however, he's only posted one half-century since August 2016. He would become the sixth Irish player to reach the 2,000-run mark.
- Ireland's Tim Murtagh has bowled to an economy of just 3.1 in this series and has also taken the most wickets (8) of any player in this series.
- Tim Murtagh has taken 18 ODI wickets at an average of just 16.1 so far in 2018; that's the best rate of any of the 12 seamers to claim 15+ scalps in this calendar year.
