- Australia have won all eight of their meetings with South Africa at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, winning by 5+ wickets or 90+ runs in five of those eight matches including a five-wicket win when they met at the 2022 World Cup.
- Australia have won 19 of their last 20 women’s ODIs including their last six in a row (L1), since their 84-run loss to South Africa in February 2024, while they haven’t batted first in a match and lost since July 12, 2023 against England at Bristol County Ground.
- Australia and South Africa have each won five matches so far at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025; Australia will be looking to remain unbeaten during the group stage of a World Cup for the second successive tournament, while South Africa will be looking to reach six wins at the group stage of a World Cup for the first time.
- South Africa are on a five-match winning streak in women’s ODIs after they had won only five of their previous 13 matches in the format; the last time they won more than five women’s ODIs in a row was a six-match stretch from February to March 2022.
- Australia have had just 16 batters dismissed within their first 20 balls faced at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, fewer than any other team in the competition and 10 fewer than South Africa; in fact, Australia have lost just four wickets across their last two matches in the competition combined.
- Ellyse Perry (Australia) scored five consecutive half-centuries against South Africa in ODIs from November 2016 to July 2017 but has failed to reach 30 runs in any of her three innings against them since; in fact, no player has scored more runs in women’s ODIs between Australia and South Africa than Perry (424, also Meg Lanning).
- Laura Wolvaardt – who has scored 60* and 90 runs across her last two ODI innings – is 79 runs away from becoming the sixth player to reach 5,000 runs scored in women’s ODIs and the first to do so for South Africa; though, Australia (33.6) are the only team against whom she has a batting average below 40.
- Annabel Sutherland (Australia) has scored 104 runs and taken 15 wickets at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, making her the first Australia player to reach 100+ runs and 10+ wickets at a World Cup since 2005 and just the fifth Australia player overall (Karen Rolton in 2005, Marie Cornish in 1982, Raelee Thompson in 1982, Sharon Tredrea in 1982 & 1988).
- Nonkululeko Mlaba’s next wicket in ODIs will be her 50th in the format and she has taken 11 wickets across her last five innings despite finishing with figures of 0/16 from four overs in her last match; this will be her second match against Australia after taking 0/24 from three overs against them in February 2024.
