- South Africa have lost their last three ODI matches against Pakistan, despite winning the toss on all three occasions.
- Pakistan have defeated South Africa in their last two clashes at Kingsmead in Durban - however the two nations have not played at the venue since 2013, when Pakistan won by three wickets.
- Pakistan have won nine of their last 13 completed ODI matches, with these last four wins coming after they lost the toss and were made to bat second - in fact, Pakistan have won four of their last six ODI matches when they have lost the toss.
- South Africa will be out to avoid back-to-back ODI losses at Kingsmead for the first time since March 2013, after going down by six wickets against India at the venue last February.
- Pakistan have managed to claim victory in each of their last six ODI fixtures played outside of the United Arab Emirates; this run includes their five-wicket win over South Africa last time out.
- Sarfraz Ahmed (Pakistan) is set to make his 100th ODI appearance; he's recorded 33 of them as skipper, he comes into this match having been dismissed for just one run in the series opener.
- Faheem Ashraf (Pakistan) has failed to take a wicket in his last three ODI innings, the longest drought in his career - his economy of 6.4 in the first ODI of this series was the second-worst of his career.
- Hashim Amla (South Africa) is just 61 runs shy of scoring 1,000 ODI runs against Pakistan, having done so already against the Windies and Sri Lanka - the only South Africans to do so against Pakistan are Gary Kirsten (1,054), Jacques Kallis (1,273) and AB de Villiers (1,423).
- Imran Tahir (South Africa) is just three wickets shy of equalling Robin Peterson (17) for most ODI wickets taken by a South African spin bowler against Pakistan - nowhere else in the world has Tahir claimed more ODI wickets than the nine he has bagged in Durban.
- Imam-ul-Haq (Pakistan) has scored 905 ODI runs in just 17 innings - a score of 95 in this match will see him equal compatriot Fakhar Zaman for the fastest batsman to reach 1000 ODI runs (18 innings).
