1 Number of Pakistan players who had scored a century and taken four or more wickets in an ODI before Mohammad Hafeez in this match. Shoaib Malik had hit 119 runs and taken 4 for 19 against Hong Kong in the Asia Cup in 2004. Overall, Hafeez is the 13th player to achieve this.
6 Number of ODI centuries by Hafeez at No. 3 for Pakistan. This equals the most any Pakistan batsman has scored in that position. Zaheer Abbaz, Ijaz Ahmed and Younis Khan also made six hundreds batting at No. 3 for Pakistan.
79.37 Hafeez's batting average at No. 3 against Sri Lanka. He has scored 635 runs from ten innings including four hundreds and one fifty. Among batsmen with at least 500 runs at No. 3 against any opposition, Hafeez's average is the third best. Only Viv Richards against England and Dean Jones against Sri Lanka have done better than Hafeez.
4/41 Hafeez's bowling figures in this match. This is his first four-wicket haul in ODIs. He has taken 127 wickets in ODIs at an average of 34.94 and an economy of 4.08.
65* Dinesh Chandimal's score in this match - his highest in 18 ODI innings against Pakistan and his third fifty against them. This was Chandimal's 16th fifty-plus score in 86 ODI innings.
5 Number of Sri Lanka's top-order batsmen who got a start, scoring 20 or more, but failed to capitalise on them, getting out for a score of 40 or fewer runs in this match. This was only the second time when each of Sri Lanka's top-five batsmen scored between 20 and 40 in ODIs. The previous instance for them came against Australia in 2006.
15 Number of Man-of-the-Match awards won by Hafeez in ODIs, six of which have come against Sri Lanka. Among Pakistan players, only Saeed Anwar and Shahid Afridi have won more such awards against Sri Lanka in ODIs.
