- India have won each of their last four men’s ODIs against South Africa, including the first match of the ongoing series by an 8-wicket margin (17 December 2023); a win in this game will give the Men in Blue their longest winning run against the Proteas in the format.
- India have won six of their last seven away men’s ODIs (L1), including winning the last two on the bounce; the sole loss for the Men in Blue in the stretch was a 6-run defeat against Bangladesh on 15 September 2023.
- South Africa have lost three of their last four men’s ODIs (W1), including losing the last two on the bounce; the last time the Proteas lost more games in the format on the bounce was a stretch of three games between May and June in 2019.
- South Africa have lost each of their last two men’s ODIs when batting first on the day, after winning eight consecutive such games prior to that; the last time the Proteas lost more on the bounce in the format when batting first was a stretch of three games in February 2018.
- India have logged a collective batting average of 64.9 during the Powerplay phase in men’s ODIs played in 2023, the highest of all full-member sides; South Africa (42.4) are ranked third in this category so far this year.
- South Africa have conceded a boundary once in every 8.2 deliveries in men’s ODIs played in 2023, the fastest such rate of all full-member sides; in fact, no such side has conceded a higher share of their runs from boundaries in the format this year than South Africa (59.3%) and India (56.1%).
- Aiden Markram (995 runs in 2023) is six shy of becoming the tenth South Africa batter to score 1000+ runs in men’s ODIs in a single calendar year; on doing so, he would become the first since AB de Villiers (1,193 runs) and Hashim Amla (1,062 runs) did so in 2015.
- Kuldeep Yadav (49 wickets in 2023) is one shy of becoming just the fourth India bowler to log 50 or more wickets in men’s ODIs in a single calendar year after Anil Kumble (61 wickets in 1996), Ajit Agarkar (58 wickets in 1998) and Ravindra Jadeja (52 wickets in 2013).
- Heinrich Klaasen (South Africa) has logged a batting dot ball rate of 34.2% in men’s ODIs played in 2023, the best such rate among all batters to have faced at least 500 deliveries in the format this year; Shreyas Iyer (40.4%) is India’s best player in this category in 2023.
- Shreyas Iyer (112.5) is one of three India batters to log a strike rate of more than 100 in men’s ODIs played in 2023 (min. 500 balls faced), alongside Rohit Sharma (117.1) and Shubman Gill (105.5); South Africa are the only side to have more different players log a strike rate of over 100 in the format this year (Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, David Miller and Quinton de Kock).
