- South Africa have won their last three multigame bilateral men’s ODI series against Australia; a fourth consecutive victory in this series would be the Proteas’ outright longest winning run in such series against Australia.
- South Africa are undefeated in their last two multigame bilateral men’s ODI series (W1, D1); the Proteas had won only two of their eight such series prior to that span (D2, L4).
- Australia have won seven of their last 9 multigame bilateral men’s ODI series (L2), including each of their last four; their only defeats in that span were a 3-2 loss to Sri Lanka (June 2022) and a 2-1 loss against Pakistan (April 2022).
- South Africa have lost only one of their last 14 men’s ODIs at Mangaung Oval (W12, T1) – a 39-run defeat against England (3 February 2016); the Proteas have won each of their four matches in the format at the venue since then.
- Australia (61%) and South Africa (53%) have scored a higher percentage of their runs from boundaries than any other Test playing countries in men’s ODIs in 2023.
- South Africa have a batting dot ball percentage of 44.5% in men’s ODIs in 2023, the best rate of any Test playing country this year; only Afghanistan (57.7%) have a higher rate than Australia (56.2%) in this category.
- Travis Head (1,912) is 88 away from scoring 2,000 runs for Australia in men’s ODIs; if Head reaches the milestone in this innings (52*), he’d become the joint-fastest player to achieve it for Australia, equaling David Boon (52 innings).
- Quinton de Kock (5,966) is 34 away from becoming the seventh player to score 6,000 runs for South Africa in men’s ODIs; if de Kock reaches the milestone in this innings (141*), he’d be the second fastest player to achieve it for the Proteas behind only Hashim Amla (123 innings).
- Wayne Parnell (99) is one away from becoming the 13th player to take 100 wickets for South Africa in men’s ODIs; however, Parnell’s ODI bowling average at Mangaung Oval (77.5) is his second highest at any venue (102 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium).
- Mitchell Marsh has scored 34% of Australia’s runs when he’s played in men’s ODIs in 2023, the best rate of any player from a Test playing country for their team this year.
