- India have won seven of their last nine men’s T20Is at home against South Africa (L2), including consecutive wins in their last two such games; indeed, the last meeting between these two sides in the format also took place at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 19 December 2025, with the Men in Blue winning by 30 runs on that occasion.
- India have won five of their seven games against South Africa in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, including the final of the 2024 edition, beating only Pakistan more often in the competition (W8 including tied wins); indeed, the Proteas’ only loss in their last 13 games in the competition (W11 T1) was the 2024 final.
- India have batted first in each of their last five men’s T20Is, winning each of these games; the Men in Blue are unbeaten in their last 20 games in the format in Asia when they have batted first on the night (W17 T3).
- South Africa are unbeaten in each of their last four men’s T20Is (W3 T1), the last time they had a longer such run in the format was during ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 when they won eight straight games, with that run also coming to an end against India.
- South Africa scored at 9.9 runs per over during the group stage of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the second best such rate of any team (New Zealand – 10.4 rpo); Proteas batters have also averaged 41.2 runs per wicket so far, the third highest of any team in the competition (Zimbabwe – 57.1; New Zealand – 50.6).
- India have averaged 23.8 runs per wicket during ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, their second lowest such average during a single edition of the competition (23.6 in 2010); the Men in Blue, however, have scored runs at 9.2 runs per over in the 2026 campaign, their fastest such rate in a single edition of the tournament.
- Abhishek Sharma (India) has logged a duck in five of his last seven men’s T20Is, including each of his three games in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026; indeed, his five ducks this season are already the joint-most by an India batter in a single calendar year in men’s T20Is (also Sanju Samson – 5 ducks in 2024).
- Lungi Ngidi (86) is four wickets away from overtaking Tabraiz Shamsi (89) to become the highest wicket-taker for South Africa in men’s T20Is; he has taken eight wickets so far in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, overtaking his previous best of seven wickets in the competition (in 2022), including a 4/31 against Canada earlier in the tournament.
- Varun Chakaravarthy (India) has taken nine wickets during ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at a bowling strike rate of eight, which is the best such rate of any spin bowler with at least five overs bowled in this tournament and the joint-best such rate of any spin bowler in a single tournament (also David Hussey – 8 in 2010).
- Quinton de Kock (29) is two away from overtaking AB de Villiers (30) to become the batter with the most boundary sixes for South Africa in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history; De Kock has hit 10 sixes in his last three men’s T20Is against India, including three sixes in the game at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on 19 December 2025.
