- Pakistan have won five of their last seven men’s ODIs against South Africa including their last two in a row (L2); the last time they won more than two consecutive games against South Africa was a three-game stretch from March 2015 to January 2019.
- South Africa have won five of their six men’s ODIs against Pakistan at The Wanderers Stadium including a 17-run win when they last met at the venue in April 2021, this despite having lost the toss on every occasion.
- South Africa have lost their last three consecutive men’s ODIs, including the first two matches of this series against Pakistan; the last time they lost more games in a row in the format was a four-game stretch in August 2008.
- South Africa lost by eight wickets to India in their last men’s ODI at The Wanderers Stadium (December 17, 2023) after having won 12 of their previous 14 matches at the venue; as a result, they’ll be looking to avoid back-to-back defeats at the venue for the first time since January 2012.
- Pakistan have won six of their last seven men’s ODIs including their last four in a row, which equals their longest winning streak in the format since they won nine in a row from March 2022 to January 2023.
- South Africa have a catch success rate of 69% in men’s ODIs in the last six months, the second-lowest of any full member nation in that time (Sri Lanka – 61.5%), while Pakistan have a catch success rate of 82.1% in that same period.
- 12 of the last 18 ODI partnerships between Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have stood for at least 50 runs, including each of their last two and a 115-run stand in the second match of this ongoing series between South Africa and Pakistan.
- David Miller (South Africa) has an ODI batting strike rate of 127.5 from 11 career innings at The Wanderers Stadium, the second-highest of any batter to play at least five innings at the venue; indeed, he’s scored 50+ runs in four of his last five innings at the venue.
- Mohammad Rizwan has an ODI batting average of 52.8 from his six innings as captain, including a knock of 80 runs in the second match of this series between South Africa and Pakistan, which is the second best average of any player as captain of Pakistan in men’s ODIs (min. 6 innings).
- Marco Jansen (South Africa) has dismissed four batters within the first 20 balls of their innings in this men’s ODI series between South Africa and Pakistan, more than any other player in the series.
