- This will be the first meeting between Australia and South Africa in the ICC Champions Trophy; Australia have won just one of their last five men’s ODIs against the Proteas (L4), with the win coming in their most recent such clash (by 3 wickets) in the semifinal of ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.
- South Africa won their opening game of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 by a 107-run margin against Afghanistan and will aim to register back-to-back wins in the competition for the first time since a stretch of two wins in the 2006 edition of the competition.
- Australia won their opening game of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, registering the highest score in a successful run chase in the competition (356/5); they will now aim to win each of their first two completed games in a single edition of the competition for the first time since 2009.
- After losing their first men’s ODI at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, South Africa have won each of their last five matches in the format at the venue; in fact, only at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore have they won more men’s ODIs (P11 W6 L5) among venues in Pakistan.
- Australia have scored 52.9% of their 2,894 runs in men’s ODIs since the start of 2024 via boundaries, the second highest such share by any side behind India (56.6%); however, they have scored more than 50% of their runs via boundaries in just two of their last seven matches in the ICC Champions Trophy.
- South Africa have effected seven run outs in men’s ODIs since the start of 2024, the second most by any full-member side (India – 8), including one in their previous game against Afghanistan; however, only Sri Lanka (30), Afghanistan (21) and Pakistan (17) have dropped more catches in the format during this period than the Proteas (16) among full-member sides.
- Travis Head has scored a boundary once in every 4.9 deliveries faced in men’s ODIs since the start of 2024, the second-best rate among full-member side batters to have faced at least 200 balls during this period (Rohit Sharma – 4.7).
- David Miller (9) is one 50+ score away from becoming the fifth South Africa batter to register 10 or more 50+ scores against Australia in men’s ODIs, having hit six 50s and three 100s against them in the format; in fact, Miller has logged three 50+ scores over his last four innings against the Aussies in men’s ODIs, including a knock of 101 in their most recent clash (16 November 2023).
- Glenn Maxwell (3,983 runs) is 17 runs away from scoring 4,000 runs for Australia in men’s ODIs; however, he has been dismissed for a single digit score (0-9) in nine of his 14 innings against South Africa in the format, the most often against any side.
- Temba Bavuma (South Africa) is one 50+ score away from logging three consecutive such scores for the first time in men’s ODIs; Bavuma has scored 278 runs against Australia in the format at an average of 46.3, scoring more only against England (328 runs).
