  • Sri Lanka have lost 10 of the 12 Test series ever recorded against Australia; one of those two series wins did come in the most recent encounter however (3-0 in 2016).
  • Australia have hosted six previous Test series against Sri Lanka, winning on every occasion; this is the first time Sri Lanka have played in Australia since January 2013.
  • Australia and Sri Lanka have met twice before at the Gabba, the tourists are yet to taste victory at the Brisbane venue having been involved in one draw there as well as suffering a defeat.
  • Australia have a formidable Test record at the Gabba, last recording a defeat there in 1988 against the Windies; the hosts are currently enjoying a 29-game unbeaten run there (W22 D7).
  • Sri Lanka have been involved in 13 previous Test matches in Australia against the Baggy Greens but have failed to win any of them; claiming two draws and tasting defeat 11 times.
  • Australia come into this series opener with Sri Lanka having recorded just one Test win in their last nine outings, losing six times (D2).
  • Sri Lanka lost five of their 12 Test matches played during 2018 (W4 D3) whilst Australia recorded six defeats in 10 games across the same period (W3 D1).
  • Mitchell Starc is in line to make his 50th Test appearance and could claim his 200th wicket in this fixture too (currently on 199); he's taken 34 wickets in this format versus Sri Lanka, doing so at an average of 19.1.
  • The most recent Test series involving Australia and Sri Lanka saw Kusal Mendis post his highest ever Test innings score (176); that knock in Pallekele during the 2016 encounter was also the third-highest ever score recorded in Tests played out between Australia and Sri Lanka.
  • Only David Warner (4,460) and Alastair Cook (4,390) have registered more runs as an opener in Tests played since the start of 2014 than Sri Lanka's Dimuth Karunaratne (3,544); the Sri Lankan has averaged just over 15 across his previous 12 Test knocks against Australia however.
