- West Indies have won three of their six bilateral multi-game men’s T20I series against South Africa (D1 L2), including each of the last two on the bounce; the last time the Proteas won such a series against the Windies was in 2021 (3-2).
- South Africa are winless in each of their last five bilateral multi-game men’s T20I series (D1 L4), including a 0-4 series defeat against the Windies in their most recent such series (May-August 2024); the last time the Proteas won such a series was in August 2022 against Ireland (2-0).
- West Indies have lost each of their last two men’s T20Is when batting first on the day, after winning six such games on the trot prior to that; the last time the Windies went on a longer such streak in the format was a stretch of four games between March and August in 2019.
- South Africa have lost each of their last two men’s T20Is away from home, after winning eight on the bounce prior to that; the last time the Proteas went on a longer losing streak in the format was a stretch of six games between November 2022 and May 2024.
- West Indies have logged a collective batting average of 30.9 in men’s T20Is played in 2024, the highest of all full-member sides and a little over eight runs on average more than South Africa (22.5).
- South Africa have logged a bowling dot ball rate of 44.8% in men’s T20Is played in 2024, the second best such rate among full-member sides (Bangladesh – 46.8%) and over four percentage points more than West Indies (40.6%).
- Akeal Hosein (49 wickets) is one away from becoming the seventh West Indies bowler to take 50 wickets in men’s T20Is; he logged bowling figures of 1/22 in the first match of the ongoing series, after failing to pick up a wicket in his three T20Is prior to that.
- Aiden Markram (nine 50+ scores) is one 50+ score away from becoming the sixth South Africa batter with 10 or more 50+ scores in men’s T20Is; however, the last time he logged such a score was on 30 October 2022 (52 vs India), having failed to cross the mark in each of his 20 innings in the format since then.
- Nicholas Pooran (West Indies) struck seven boundary sixes in the first T20I of the ongoing series, his second most in a single innings in the format (8 vs Afghanistan on 17 June 2024); in fact, the 29 sixes he has struck in the format in 2024 is second to only New Zealand’s Finn Allen (31).
- Tristan Stubbs (South Africa) has logged a batting good connection rate of 71.2% in men’s T20Is played in 2024, the second highest among full-member side batters to have faced at least 200 deliveries (Angelo Mathews – 77.5%).
