- Sri Lanka defeated Ireland by an innings and 280 runs in their only previous men’s Test (April 2023); it’s Sri Lanka’s biggest win (by an innings) in the history of the format.
- Sri Lanka will be aiming for back-to-back wins in men’s Tests for the first time since November 2021, following their innings & 280 run victory against Ireland last time out.
- Ireland have lost all five of their men’s Test matches; New Zealand (D22, L22), Bangladesh (D3, L31), India (D12, L12), Sri Lanka (D5, L8), South Africa (D1, L10) and Zimbabwe (D6, L4) are the teams to have begun their history in the format on a longer winless run.
- Sri Lanka have won three of their last four men’s Tests at Galle International Stadium (L1), including each of their last two; the last time they recorded a longer winning run at the venue in the format was a four-match span from August 2015 to March 2017.
- Ireland have scored 53% of their runs from boundaries in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the best rate of any team in that time and six percentage points higher than Sri Lanka (47%).
- Sri Lanka have scored 32% of their runs from singles in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the highest rate of any team in that time and four percentage points more than Ireland (28%).
- Dimuth Karunaratne (49) is one away from becoming the fourth player to record 50 scores of 50+ runs for Sri Lanka in men’s Tests (Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Angelo Mathews); he has scored 50+ in each of his last three Test Innings (89, 51, 179).
- Vishwa Fernando (47) is three away from taking 50 wickets for Sri Lanka in men’s Tests; his Test bowling average at Galle International Stadium (11.4) is his best at any venue.
- Lorcan Tucker has scored 24% of Ireland’s runs when he’s played in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the best rate of any player (min. 3 innings) for their team in that time.
- Andy McBrine has taken 42% of Ireland’s wickets when he’s played in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the best rate of any player for their team in that time.
