- Following their four-wicket win in the first game of this series, Pakistan have now lost just one of their last five men’s Tests against Sri Lanka (W3 D1), a 246-run loss in July 2022.
- Sri Lanka have alternated between a loss and a win in each of their last six men’s Tests played at the Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo (W3 L3); this run includes their last meeting against Pakistan at the venue in August 2014 which resulted in a 105-run victory for the hosts.
- With a win in the first game, Pakistan are now unbeaten in five men’s Test series away from home, drawing two and winning two of the other four series; the last time they lost such a series outside Pakistan was a 2-0 loss to New Zealand between December 2020 and January 2021.
- Sri Lanka have won 29.3% of their men’s Tests played against Pakistan (P58 W17 D19 L22), their highest against any opponent they’ve met at least 25 times in the format; the 58 matches the Lions have played against the Shaheens is also their most against a single opponent.
- 57.1% of the runs Pakistan bowlers have conceded in men’s Tests in 2023 have come from boundaries, the second highest such rate of any team this year (South Africa – 59.4%); meanwhile, Sri Lanka have the fourth lowest such rate in this period (51.7%).
- Sri Lanka have logged a batting average of 62.5 against spinners in men’s Tests in 2023, the second highest of all teams (South Africa – 79.8) and almost twice as much as Pakistan (32.6).
- Saud Shakeel has scored a 100 in each of his last two men’s Tests (208* & 125*); if he scores a ton in this match, he will become the ninth different Pakistan batter to hit a century in three consecutive matches, with only Mohammad Yousuf (5) doing so in more successive games among the Shaheens.
- Nishan Madushka (Sri Lanka) has logged a batting good connection rate of 74.2% in men’s Tests in 2023, the second highest of all batters behind Virat Kohli’s 82.5% (min. 500 balls faced).
- Batters have played and missed 13.9% of Asitha Fernando’s (Sri Lanka) deliveries in men’s Tests in 2023, the third highest such rate among bowlers to have bowled at least 100 overs this year (Mitchell Starc – 14.5% & Matt Henry – 14.2%); Fernando has clean bowled seven batters in the format this year, the joint highest among seamers (also Stuart Broad and Mohammed Shami).
- Saud Shakeel (Pakistan) has scored 39.5% of his runs via singles in men’s Tests in 2023, the second highest such rate among batters to have faced at least 500 deliveries this year (Virat Kohli – 42.7%); Shakeel has also scored 30.2% of his team’s runs in the format this year, the joint most by any batter (also Gary Ballance) in 2023.
