- Pakistan have lost each of their last five men’s T20Is against Sri Lanka after winning six on the bounce prior to that; however, the Shaheens have won each of their three clashes against the Lions at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
- Sri Lanka have won 10 of their 23 men’s T20Is against Pakistan, having won more only against Bangladesh (P22 W13); in fact, the Lions’ win rate of 43.5% against the Shaheens is their third highest against any opponent they have faced 10 or more times in the format behind Bangladesh (59.1%) and West Indies (55.6%).
- Pakistan have lost three of their last four men’s T20Is when batting second on the day (W1), including losses in each of their last two such games; the last time they went on a longer losing streak when chasing a total was a stretch of four losses between April 2023 and January 2024.
- Sri Lanka’s loss in their most recent men’s T20I (by 4 wickets vs Bangladesh) snapped a four-game winning streak for them; the last time the Lions lost back-to-back games in the format was a stretch of two losses in July 2025 (both also vs Bangladesh).
- Sri Lanka have logged a batting good connection rate of 63.7% in men’s T20Is since the start of 2025, the highest of all full-member sides and over eight percentage points more than Pakistan (55.4%).
- Sri Lanka have logged a catch success rate of 70.2% in men’s T20Is since the start of 2025, the third lowest by any full member side during this period after West Indies (69.2%) and Afghanistan (69.6%); however, only Bangladesh (28) have dropped more catches in the format than Pakistan (25) in the ongoing calendar year.
- Haris Rauf has picked up 18 men’s T20I wickets in 2025, the joint second most among all Pakistan bowlers in the format alongside Abrar Ahmed (Mohammad Nawaz – 21); he is two scalps away from becoming the first Pakistan bowler to register 20 wickets in a calendar year on four different occasions (also 2021, 2022 and 2024).
- Kusal Perera (16) is one 50+ score away from equaling Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka (17 each) as the leader in this category for Sri Lanka in men’s T20Is; however, he has failed to register a 50+ score in each of his last nine innings in the format.
- Agha Salman (479 runs) is 21 away from scoring 500 runs for Pakistan in men’s T20Is in 2025; the last two batters to score 500+ runs for the Shaheens in a single calendar year were Babar Azam (738 runs in 2024) and Mohammad Rizwan (617 runs in 2024).
- Dushmantha Chameera has picked up 33.3% of Sri Lanka’s wickets in men’s T20Is since the start of 2025, the highest such share by any full-member side player to have bowled in five or more innings; in fact, if he picks up a wicket in this game, it will be his first against Pakistan.
