  • The home side has won each of the last three men’s Test series between South Africa and Pakistan (excluding series in the UAE); South Africa have won their last four such home series against Pakistan, winning 12 of their 15 home matches against the Shaheens in the format (D1 L2).
  • Pakistan lost their last away men’s Test series to Australia 3-0 (December 2023 – January 2024), snapping a five-series unbeaten streak outside of Pakistan (W3 D2); they will be looking to avoid losing back-to-back away series for the first time since January 2021.
  • South Africa have won their last three men’s Test series, all in 2024 (1-0 against West Indies in August, 2-0 against Bangladesh in October, 2-0 against Sri Lanka in November – December); in addition, they have won their last five matches and will be looking to win six in a row for the first time since a six-game streak from November 2012 to February 2013.
  • South Africa have won all three men’s Tests against Pakistan at SuperSport Park; the Proteas’s 79% winning rate at the ground (23/29 matches) is their highest at any venue in which they have played at least six matches.
  • South Africa bowlers have conceded 3.3 runs per over in men’s Tests since the start of 2024, the best rate of any team (min. 3 matches played); Pakistan have conceded 3.9 runs per over in that span, the joint-most of any team to have played at least two matches (West Indies – also 3.9).
  • Pakistan spinners have induced a false shot connection on 21.4% of all balls bowled in 2024, only India spinners have recorded a better rate (26.7%); in addition, they have induced a play-and-miss rate of 9.6%, only behind India (11.4%).
  • Keshav Maharaj (193) needs seven more wickets to become the ninth player to take 200 wickets for South Africa in men’s Tests; he has taken 10 wickets at an average of 31 in his last two matches against Pakistan (match total of 6/208 in February 2021, 4/102 in January 2021).
  • Noman Ali (Pakistan) has conceded 31.8% of his 277 runs in boundaries in men’s Tests since the start of 2024, the lowest rate of any bowler in that span (min. 150 balls bowled).
  • South Africa pair Dane Paterson and Senuran Muthusamy have recorded batting strike rates of 102.2 and 90.7 respectively in men’s Tests since the start of 2024, the best of any players (min. 30 balls faced).
  • Mohammad Rizwan (1946) needs 54 more runs to become the fifth Pakistan player to score 2000 runs in men’s Tests for Pakistan when playing as a wicketkeeper; he has scored 509 runs in the format in 2024, the most of any Pakistan player.
