- Afghanistan have won each of their last two men’s T20Is against West Indies, after winning only one of all their five meetings in the format prior to that span (L4); Afghanistan defeated West Indies by six runs in their only previous meeting at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup (27 March 2016).
- West Indies have won their last seven men’s T20Is on the bounce – their joint longest winning run in the history of the format; in addition, they have won their last three ICC Men’s T20 World Cup matches – a fourth consecutive win in this game would be their outright longest winning run in their history in the tournament.
- Afghanistan have won their last five men’s T20Is; the last time they recorded a longer winning run in the format was a 12-match span from February 2018 to September 2019.
- West Indies have won four of their last five men’s T20Is at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet (L1), including a 16-run victory in their most recent match at the venue (16 July 2021 v Australia).
- Batters have played a false shot on 56% of Afghanistan’s balls bowled at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, the highest rate of any team and 10 percentage points higher than West Indies (46%).
- Afghanistan (7.1) and West Indies (11.3) have recorded the best bowling averages of any teams at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024; in addition, they have logged the best bowling strike rates of all teams in the campaign (Afghanistan – 11.8 and West Indies – 12).
- Mohammad Nabi (2,139 runs & 95 wickets) is five wickets away from becoming just the second player to score 2,000+ runs and take 100+ wickets in men’s T20Is after Shakib Al Hasan (2,532 runs & 148 wickets); however, Nabi has picked up a wicket in just four of his 11 innings in the format this year, one of which came against New Zealand (2/16) in the ongoing Men’s T20 World Cup.
- Fazalhaq Farooqi (49) is one away from becoming the fifth player to take 50 wickets for Afghanistan in men’s T20Is; if he achieves the milestone in this match (38*), he’d be the second fastest player to reach it for the Afghans (Rashid Khan – 31 matches).
- Nicholas Pooran (1,914) is 86 away from becoming the first player to score 2,000 runs for West Indies in men’s T20Is; he has a T20I batting average of 38.5 at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, his second best at any venue (min. 4 innings) in the format (57.8 at Providence Stadium in Guyana).
- Andre Russell (53) is one away from equaling Samuel Badree (54) for the third most wickets for West Indies in men’s T20Is; he recorded bowling figures of 2/23 in his only previous T20I innings against Afghanistan (27 March 2016).
