- This will just be the second men’s T20I between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, with the Lions triumphing by six wickets in the only previous encounter between the two sides in March 2016.
- Sri Lanka snapped a five-game losing streak in men’s T20Is by beating Australia by four wickets in their most recent game in the format at Pallekele in June 2022; the Lions have won only one of their last eight men’s T20Is outside of Sri Lanka (T1 L6).
- Afghanistan lost their most recent men’s T20I at Dubai International Cricket Stadium by five wickets, having won each of their three previous games in the format here; they have never lost consecutive men’s T20Is at the venue.
- Sri Lanka have played three men’s T20Is at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, winning once and losing twice, including their most recent game here against Australia during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2021; the Lions have batted first in all their three men’s T20Is at the venue.
- Only Pakistan (6.3) have registered a better bowling economy than Afghanistan (7.4) during the death overs (overs 17-20) in men’s T20Is in 2022 among full member sides.
- No team has registered a poorer batting strike rate in men’s T20Is in 2022 than Sri Lanka (121.8) and Afghanistan (126.6) among all the full member nations.
- Afghanistan have effected 10 run outs in men’s T20I matches in 2022, the most by any team among the full member nations; Sri Lanka have managed just two run outs during this period.
- Charith Asalanka has a batting average of 46.2 in men’s T20Is in the United Arab Emirates, the highest by any Sri Lankan batter; Asalanka scored 68 off 41 balls against West Indies in his most recent game in the format in the UAE.
- Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan (112) is three scalps away from becoming the outright second-highest wicket in men’s T20Is of all time, in doing so he will eclipse New Zealand’s Tim Southee (114 wickets); Rashid has taken three of more wickets in a men’s T20I 16 times in his career but failed to do so in any of his last 14 games in the format.
- Only Graeme Swann (7.5) has a better bowling average than Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga (9.8) in men’s T20Is in the UAE among bowlers to have taken at least 10 wickets in the country.
