- Australia have won their last three men’s Tests against Sri Lanka after being clean swept 3-0 against them in the 2016 series; the last time Australia won more in succession against Sri Lanka in the format was a four-game stretch from March to July in 2004.
- Australia have won only one of their last six men’s Tests in Sri Lanka, with that lone win coming in the first game of this ongoing series; though, they had won five straight Tests in the country prior to that six-game stretch.
- Sri Lanka have lost three of their five men’s Tests in 2022, picking up a win and a draw from their remaining games in that period; a fourth defeat this year would equal their most in a calendar year since they succumbed to four losses in 2019.
- Sri Lanka have lost three of their last five men’s Tests at Galle International Stadium (W2) which is more than they had lost in their eight games at the venue prior (W6 L2).
- Sri Lanka’s pace attack has bowled on a short length on 9% of their total deliveries in men’s Tests in 2022, the highest rate of any team in the format in that time.
- Australia (53.4) and Sri Lanka (51.5) have the second and third best batting strike rates in the first 20 overs of Tests respectively of any teams in the men’s edition of the format since the beginning of 2021; only Afghanistan (60.5) lead them among all teams.
- Australia’s Usman Khawaja (26%, 822 runs) and Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews (22%, 477 runs) have scored a higher proportion of their team’s total runs when they have played on the day in men’s Tests of any players since the beginning of 2022 in the men’s edition of the format.
- Mitchell Starc (47) and Nathan Lyon (44) are three and six wickets respectively away from reaching 50 Test wickets taken against Sri Lanka; currently, Shane Warne (59) is the only player to have ever reached a half-century of Test wickets against Sri Lanka for Australia.
- Dimuth Karunaratne (Sri Lanka) has a Test batting average of 52.2 from his 27 innings at Galle International Stadium, the second-highest of any player to bat at least 20 innings at the venue in the men’s edition (Mahela Jayawardene – 70); however, he’s scored just 58 runs in four innings against Australia at the ground.
- Pat Cummins (34 wickets) is eight wickets away from becoming the outright second most prolific wicket taker as captain for Australia behind only Richie Benaud (138); he currently also trails Bob Simpson (41) and Ian Johnson (39) in this category.
