- England have beaten South Africa in six of their last seven women’s ODIs, including each of the last two such games; five of those six wins have come by 100+ runs or with 100+ balls remaining.
- England have lost each of their last three ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup opening matches (v Aus in 2022, v Ind in 2017, v SL in 2013), having been unbeaten in their nine such games until then (W8 T1); they have, however, lost only one of their last six world cup games against South Africa, with that loss coming in their most recent such league game (by 3 wickets on 14 March 2022).
- South Africa have lost each of their last three women’s ODIs played in India (in June 2024), never have they lost more such games in a row; in fact, they have lost both their world cup matches against England in the country (by 7 wickets in 2013, by 7 runs in 1997).
- England won their most recent women’s ODI in India (by 2 wickets v India on 28 February 2019), having lost each of their previous three before that; the last time they won back-to-back such games in the country was a run of three games in February 2013 that started with a 7-wicket win over South Africa.
- England have scored 300+ runs in a women’s ODI innings against South Africa seven times, the most often they have done so against a single opponent in the format; in fact, they have never crossed the 300-run mark more often in the format in a single year than the three times they have done so in 2025 (also 1997, 2019 and 2022).
- South Africa batters have recorded seven women’s ODI centuries since the start of 2025, their highest such tally in a single calendar year; in fact, only India batters have more such scores in 2025 (8).
- Heather Knight (149) is one appearance away from becoming the second England player, and 11th overall, to play 150 women’s ODI matches; however, she is without a 50+ score in each of her last 15 innings in the format, one away from equaling her longest such run (16 games between March 2012 and August 2013).
- Tazmin Brits (South Africa) has scored a century in each of her last three women’s ODI innings, a century here will see her become only the second batter to score four consecutive centuries in the format (Amy Satterthwaite from Nov 2016 to Feb 2017); in fact, Brits is one of only two batters to have scored four women’s ODI hundreds in a single calendar year (also Smriti Mandhana in 2024 and 2025).
- Nat Sciver-Brunt (4,092) is 10 runs away from overtaking Claire Taylor (4,101) and becoming England’s outright third highest run-scorer in women’s ODIs (Charlotte Edwards – 5,992, Tammy Beaumont – 4,528); Sciver-Brunt has recorded a double-digit score in each of her last nine innings in the format, including four 50+ scores in that run.
- South Africa’s Marizanne Kapp (451 runs & 32 wickets) is 49 runs away from becoming just third player to record 500+ runs and 30+ wickets at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup (Ellyse Perry – 673 runs, 32 wickets and Carole Hodges – 672 runs, 37 wickets).
