- This will be the first ODI meeting between Pakistan and Hong Kong since 2008 and just the third overall; Pakistan have won each of the last two clashes by margins of 173 and 155 runs.
- Pakistan have won seven of their last 10 ODI games at the Asia Cup, though they will be out to avoid back-to-back defeats at the tournament for the first time since 2010 after a five-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in their last start ODI Asia Cup.
- Hong Kong will be searching for their first win at the Asia Cup, having lost each of their previous seven games at the tournament; they batted second in each of those four games and went on to lose by an average margin of 175 runs.
- Pakistan have won their last eight ODIs on the bounce in the United Arab Emirates; the last time they won more in the country was a 10-game winning streak from 1989 to 1990.
- Hong Kong have won seven of their last nine ODIs when they've batted first on the day, despite winning the toss on only three occasions in that time.
- Pakistan have lost five of their 10 ODIs so far in 2018, despite currently boasting a five-game winning streak; the last time they lost more than six ODIs in a non-World Cup calendar year was in 2014 (10 losses).
- Hong Kong have won 83% of their previous ODIs in the UAE; their five wins in the country account for more than half of all their victories in the format (9 in total).
- Usman Khan has a bowling average of 11 in ODIs in 2018, the best of any player to have bowled multiple innings this year; he's taken 15 wickets in his six ODI innings overall thus far in his career.
- Shaoib Malik has knocked 153 runs and taken four wickets in his two previous games against Hong Kong; his 118-run innings against them in July 2004 remains his fourth-highest score against any team in One-Day Internationals.
- Anshy Kath has hit a century and two half-centuries in his last five ODI innings for Hong Kong and is just 24 runs shy of eclipsing Babar Hayat (759) as the outright most prolific run-scorer for Hong Kong in ODI cricket.
