- Bangladesh have picked up one win and two draws in their last five men's Tests against Sri Lanka after having logged only one draw in all their 15 meetings prior (L14).
- This will be the first meeting between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in men's Tests at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium; though, Bangladesh picked up a four-wicket win in their last encounter in Sri Lanka (March 2017).
- This will be Sri Lanka's first men's Test played at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium since November 2018, a 57-run loss to England; in fact, they have won only one of all their seven previous Tests at the venue (D3, L3).
- Sri Lanka are winless in their last seven men's Tests (D3, L4); the last time they went longer without a win in the format was a 15-game stretch from July 2010 to December 2011 (D10, L5).
- Bangladesh have lost eight of their last nine men's Tests (W1), including their last two on the bounce; in fact, five of their eight defeats in that period came by more than an innings.
- Bangladesh batsmen have played and missed at fewer than 7% of deliveries faced in each of their last three men's Tests, a figure they had managed to finish under in only one of their 13 Tests prior.
- Mushfiqur Rahim requires 105 to become only the second Bangladesh batsman to record 1,000 runs versus Sri Lanka in Test cricket (Mohammad Ashraful); he has failed to post more than 25 in his last three attempts against them, however.
- Lasith Embuldeniya is one dismissal away from reaching 50 in Test cricket; 19 of those have come in 2021, only three men have taken more this year (Ashwin, Leach and Patel).
- Roshen Silva (Sri Lanka) has a Test batting average of 117.5 across his three prior knocks against Bangladesh, his best against any team; in fact, his career high score of 109 runs came in his first innings against them in 2018.
- Sri Lanka duo Dinesh Chandimal (8%) and Dhananjaya De Silva (10%) had the lowest and second-lowest false shot rate of any batsman to face more than six balls during the 2018 men's Test series between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh - the last time these teams met.
