- South Africa have won each of their two men's ODIs against Afghanistan; they are one of three teams the Proteas have faced more than once in the history of the format without losing (W10 v Kenya and W2 v United Arab Emirates).
- Afghanistan won their most recent multigame bilateral men's ODI series (2-0 v Ireland – March 2024); they will be aiming to win consecutive such series for the first time since January 2022.
- South Africa lost their most recent multigame bilateral men's ODI series (1-2 v India – December 2023); the Proteas will be looking to avoid consecutive defeats in such series for the first time since February 2010.
- Afghanistan have won their last five men's ODIs at Sharjah Cricket Stadium; a sixth consecutive win in this match would equal their longest winning run at the venue in the history of the format (W6 from March 2013 to December 2015).
- South Africa have a batting strike rate of 105 in men's ODIs since the beginning of 2023, the best of any Test playing country in that time; in addition, the Proteas' collective batting average during this period (38.7) is the second best of any team (India – 39.9).
- Afghanistan have made 17 run outs when fielding in men's ODIs since the beginning of 2023, the second most of any Test playing country in that time (Sri Lanka – 19).
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz (6) is one away from surpassing Mohammad Shahzad (6) for the outright most hundreds for Afghanistan in men's ODIs; he's scored 220 runs at an average of 73.3 across his last three ODI innings (48, 121, 51).
- Reeza Hendricks (929) is 71 away from scoring 1,000 runs for South Africa in men's ODIs; he's scored 50+ in three of his last six ODI innings in Asia (51, 1, 74, 3, 85, 12).
- Batters have left 18.2% of Nandre Burger's (South Africa) 148 balls bowled in men's ODIs since the beginning of 2023, the highest rate of any player from a Test playing country in that time (min. 10 balls bowled).
- Tony de Zorzi has scored 25.1% of South Africa's runs when he’s played in men's ODIs since the beginning of 2023, the second-best rate of any player (min. 2 innings) for a Test playing country in that time (Sean Williams – 28.9% for Zimbabwe).
