  • Sri Lanka and Afghanistan have met twice before in One-Day International cricket; those fixtures in 2014 and 2015 were both won by the Lions.
  • One of those encounters came in the Asia Cup; Kumar Sangakkara's 76 in that game helped Sri Lanka secure a 129-run victory on that occasion.
  • Sri Lanka are five-time winners of the Asia Cup; lifting the trophy in 1986, 1997, 2004, 2008 & 2014 whilst Afghanistan are only appearing in this competition for the second time (2014).
  • Sri Lanka have suffered defeats in six of their eight previous ODI games at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi (W2); all of those came against Pakistan however.
  • 10 of the 13 One-Day Internationals to have taken place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi since 2014 have been lost by the chasing side (W3).
  • Afghanistan have claimed victory in each of their last three ODI matches played in the United Arab Emirates; a win in this game will equal their longest ever run in the country (four games in a row during 2013).
  • Afghanistan have enjoyed a strong set of results in recent months; winning six of their last seven ODI games (L1), those games all took place on the road.
  • Rahmat Shah comes into this tournament having posted 600 ODI runs across his 14 innings already in 2018; almost twice the amount any of his teammates have mustered this calendar year.
  • Afghanistan's Rashid Khan has the best bowling average ever as it stands (20+ dismissals); the leg-spinner has claimed his 108 wickets at a rate of just 14.2.
  • Sri Lanka's Thisara Perera posted an unbeaten 47 when these sides last met, doing so off just 26 balls (180.8 strike rate); of the instances of a player scoring 47 or more versus Afghanistan, only once has somebody managed a faster rate (Maxwell in 2015, 225.6).
