- Pakistan have won only three of their last 15 men's Tests against Sri Lanka (D5, L7), their most recent triumph against them coming back in July 2015.
- Pakistan are undefeated in their five previous men's Tests against Sri Lanka at National Stadium in Karachi (W4, D1); though, it's been more than a decade since their last Test encounter at the venue (February 2009).
- Pakistan have drawn each of their last four men's Tests played on home soil, having batted second on the day in each one of those fixtures.
- Pakistan have lost only two of their 41 men's Tests at National Stadium in Karachi; it's the lowest losing rate (5%) of any team at any venue in men's Test history (min. 10 games).
- Sri Lanka are undefeated in their last three men's Tests away from home (W2, D1); the last time they went longer on the road without a defeat was a four-game stretch from January to June in 2014 (W2, D2).
- Babar Azam finished 2018 with a Test batting average of 56 and currently boasts a Test batting average of 57 in 2019; he'll be looking to maintain that and become the first Pakistan player to finish consecutive years with a batting average of 50+ since Azhar Ali in 2014-16.
- Babar Azam (Pakistan) was one of three players to score a century in the first Test of the series; he also finished with a false shot rate of just 8.6% - the lowest of any player.
- Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne boasts a Test batting average of 55.1 against Pakistan, his best against any team he's batted at least 10 innings against; he's scored two centuries and two half-centuries in his last four matches against them.
- Azhar Ali (5,767) needs just two runs to eclipse Saleem Malik as the fifth most prolific run scorer in men's Tests for Pakistan; he's scored one century and three half-centuries in his last eight innings against Sri Lanka and finished with a dot ball rate of 71.6% in the first Test of this series – his lowest rate since October 2016.
- Lahiru Kumara (Sri Lanka) bowled 25% of all his deliveries in the first Test of this series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka on a short length, the highest of any player in the game and his highest rate in a Test match since July 2017 (28% vs India).
