- South Africa have won their last four multigame bilateral men’s ODI series against Australia, the longest winning streak by either team in the history of this fixture; the Proteas won 2-1 in their last series in Australia (November 2018).
- Australia lost 1-2 against Pakistan in their last multigame bilateral men’s ODI series in Australia, snapping a five-series winning streak at home; they will be looking to avoid losing back-to-back series at home for only the second time in the history of the format (L3 from January 2018 - January 2019).
- South Africa won 2-1 against Ireland in their last multigame bilateral men’s ODI series outside of South Africa (October 2024), snapping a five-series winless streak in such series (D2 L3); the Proteas will be looking to win back-to-back series outside of South Africa for the first time since November 2018.
- Australia have won all five of their men’s ODIs at Cazaly’s Stadium including a 25-run win over New Zealand in their last match at the venue (11 September 2022); this will be South Africa’s first match at the venue; a win would make it the 92nd ground where they have recorded a victory.
- Australia batters have hit a boundary every 5.2 balls against pace bowlers in men’s ODIs since the start of 2025, the most frequent of any full member team; South Africa batters are second in this category, hitting a boundary every 6.2 balls against pace bowlers.
- Australia have a collective bowling strike rate of 30 in the first 10 overs of men’s ODIs since the start of 2025, the second best rate of any full member team (Sri Lanka - 28.2); South Africa have a collective bowling strike rate of 33.3 in that span, the fifth best of any team.
- If selected, Mitch Owen will become the 250th player to play in a men’s ODI for Australia; he scored 207 runs at a strike rate of 223.9 in his last two List A games for Tasmania (48, 149).
- Matthew Breetzke (South Africa) has scored 35.5% of his team’s runs when playing in men’s ODIs since the start of 2025, the most of any player; indeed, his 233 runs are the most by any player after their first two innings in the history of the format.
- Ben Dwarshius (Australia) has drawn a false shot on at least 30% of his deliveries in each of his five men’s ODIs; he has picked up at least one wicket in each game he has played in the format and a total of seven wickets in his last three games.
- Ryan Rickelton (103 for South Africa) and Josh Inglis (76.5 for Australia) have the best and second-best batting averages respectively among wicketkeepers in men’s ODIs since the start of 2025.
