- Australia are undefeated in their last four multi-game bilateral men's T20I series against South Africa (W3, D1), they haven't lost such a series to the Proteas since March 2009 (2-0); they are currently 1-0 up.
- South Africa have put together a five-match winning streak against Australia in men's Tests (two) and ODIs (three) at St George's Park, their only previous scheduled men's T20I at the Port Elizabeth venue was abandoned (9 March 2014).
- Each of South Africa's previous two completed men's T20Is at St George's Park have been won by the winners of the coin toss on the day, the Proteas' registering a 33-run win (26 December 2012 v New Zealand) and a five-wicket defeat (16 December 2007 v West Indies) in that time.
- South Africa have tasted defeat in three successive men's T20I games ahead of this contest; a loss in this game would equal their longest such run in the format.
- Australia came into this series with South Africa having gone four multi-game bilateral men's T20I series unbeaten (W3 D1); winning each of their last three.
- Australia have not lost a men's T20I since November 2018 (v India); they have been enjoying an eight-match winning streak in the format since then, including a comprehensive 107-run victory in this series opener against South Africa.
- South Africa trio Rassie van der Dussen, Tabraiz Shamsi and Pite van Biljon all dropped catches in the first game of this series; no Australian dropped a single catch however.
- South Africa's Dale Steyn took 4/9 against West Indies at St George's Park in 2007; the best figures he's ever recorded in men's T20I cricket.
- Ashton Agar's figures of 5/24 last time out against South Africa were the best figures ever by an Australian in a men's T20I; he had never claimed a four-wicket haul in any T20 game beforehand.
- Ashton Agar became the first Australian to claim a men's T20I hat-trick since Brett Lee (2007) at the Wanderers; he logged 12 dot balls in the innings, he's never recorded more in a T20I fixture.
