- South Africa have won three of their last four men’s T20Is against England including their last two in a row but haven’t faced them in the format since July 2022; indeed, a third consecutive win against England would equal South Africa’s longest winning run against them.
- South Africa have won four of their six meetings with England at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup despite not winning the toss in any of those fixtures (L2); their last meeting in the competition was in the group stage of the 2021 tournament when the Proteas won by 10 runs.
- England have won all four of their previous men’s T20Is at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, making them the only one of the 12 different teams to have played at the venue to have never lost; meanwhile, South Africa have lost both of their games at the venue.
- This will be England’s 50th game at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup (W27, L20, NR2), a feat previously reached by only Sri Lanka (54 games) and Pakistan (51 games); though, only Bangladesh (29) and Sri Lanka (21) have lost more games at the tournament than England (20).
- England’s next win in men’s T20Is will be their 100th in the format (not including Super Over results), a feat managed by only five teams previously (India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa); in fact, they’ve won their last three games on the bounce in the format.
- South Africa have won their last five consecutive men’s T20Is after winning only one of their previous nine games in the format; in fact, the last time they won more consecutive games was a six-game stretch from October 2021 to June 2022.
- Sam Curran’s next wicket will be his 50th in T20Is and he would be just the eighth player to reach a half century of wickets for England in men’s T20Is; though, he’s not taken a wicket from his two innings at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup after taking six wickets across his previous four innings in the format overall.
- Anrich Nortje (South Africa) is two away from reaching 50 T20I wickets and has taken 10 wickets across the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup so far; indeed, the record for the most wickets by a South Africa player at a single edition of the competition is 12 (Imran Tahir in 2014).
- England have finished each of their last two games at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup without dropping a catch, which is just the second time in across the last six editions of the tournament that they’ve finished back-to-back games without a drop.
- Quinton de Kock (South Africa) has scored 29 runs via pull shots at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, the most of any player from either England or South Africa; in fact, he has made a good connection on six of the eight occasions he’s played a pull shot at the tournament.
