- Sri Lanka and West Indies drew 1-1 in their only previous men's T20I bilateral series; those fixtures took place in Sri Lanka (2015).
- West Indies have only managed to register one multi-game bilateral men's T20I series victory in 10 attempts (D1 L8) whilst Sri Lanka have recorded one win their last five such series (L4).
- Sri Lanka have suffered back-to-back men’s T20I losses versus West Indies heading into this series; they had previously won six of the seven meetings in the format immediately beforehand (L1).
- West Indies have only tasted one men's T20I defeat in their last five fixtures in Sri Lanka (W3 T1); that run includes a tie which ended in a Super Over victory for the men in maroon.
- West Indies registered a comprehensive nine-wicket win in their most recent men's T20I outing (v Ireland, January 2020); they are looking to record successive victories in the format for the first time since July 2018, they have played 22 games in the intervening period.
- This is set to be the third men's T20I between Sri Lanka and West Indies at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium; the Lions registered wins in both of those previous encounters at the Kandy venue (2012 & 2015).
- Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka) requires two scalps in this game to become the outright all-time leading wicket-taker in men's T20Is between the Lions and West Indies (currently Ajantha Mendis, 13); the veteran seamer is the only male bowler ever to record 100 wickets in this format (106).
- Sri Lanka's last men's T20I at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium saw Lasith Malinga record his best figures in the format; claiming 5/6 versus New Zealand in September 2019.
- Sheldon Cottrell (West Indies) has logged more men's T20I dot balls than any other bowler from a Test-playing nation since the start of 2019 (150); he is the joint-highest wicket-taker at the death (overs 17-20) in this format during that period too among Test-playing teams (nine - level with England's Chris Jordan).
- Only England's James Vince (three) has dropped more easy catches in men's T20Is among Test-playing nations than West Indies man Shimron Hetmyer (two) since January 2019.
