- England have won each of their last 15 women’s ODIs against South Africa while chasing, their longest such run against any team in the format; in fact, they beat the Proteas by 10 wickets in their most recent such game earlier in the ongoing ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup.
- England have won five of their last six women’s ODIs played in India, after losing three on the trot prior to that; in fact, they have beaten South Africa in each of the three matches in the format between the two teams in the country.
- South Africa have lost each of their four knockout matches at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, including losses in the semi-finals at each of the last two editions of the tournament, with both those losses coming against England.
- South Africa have won 10 of their 17 women’s ODIs in 2025, a win here will see the Proteas equal their second highest such tally in a single calendar year (11 in 2021).
- England bowlers have bowled at an average of 23.4 runs per wicket in the ongoing edition of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, the second best such rate of all teams behind Australia (22.1); in fact, their strike rate of 30.8 is also the second best of all teams in the competition (Australia – 27.6).
- South Africa batters have scored 57.1% of their runs from boundaries in the ongoing ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, the highest such rate of all teams in the competition and more than 10 percentage points higher than England (46.8%); in fact, only India (25) have hit more boundary sixes than the Proteas (24) in the tournament.
- Amy Jones has scored 630 runs in women’s ODIs in 2025, the joint highest tally by a designated wicketkeeper for England in a calendar year (also Sarah Taylor in 2008); she is 40 runs away from overtaking Alyssa Healy (669 in 2019) for the overall record.
- Laura Wolvaardt (4,952) is 48 away from becoming the first South Africa batter, and the sixth overall, to score 5,000 women’s ODI runs; Wolvaardt has crossed the 50-run mark in three of her last five innings in the format and has registered nine knocks of 50+ runs against England, her highest tally against a single opponent.
- Linsey Smith has picked up 22 wickets in women’s ODIs since the start of 2025, the second highest such tally by an England bowler in that period (Sophie Ecclestone – 24); in fact, no England player has picked up more wickets in the format in their debut calendar year than Smith.
- Tazmin Brits (810 in 2025) is 73 runs away from overtaking Laura Wolvaardt’s record (882 in 2022) for most runs in women’s ODIs in a calendar year by a South Africa batter; however, she has been dismissed for a single-digit score in five of her seven innings at the ongoing ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup.
