- This will be the second men's T20I between Ireland and South Africa; the Proteas won their inaugural meeting in the format by 33 runs (19 July 2021).
- Ireland have won only one of their last five completed men's T20Is at the Civil Service Cricket Club (L4); an eight-wicket victory over Nepal in July 2015.
- South Africa currently lead this multigame bilateral men's T20I series (1-0); a win for the Proteas in this match would seal consecutive victories in such series for the first time since March 2019, after defeating the West Indies (3-2) in their most recent iteration earlier this month.
- Ireland has a bowling dot ball percentage of 36% in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2019, the second highest of any Test playing country in that time (Australia - 37%).
- South Africa have hit 52 sixes during the powerplay in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2020, the second most by any Test playing country in that time (West Indies - 68).
- Since the beginning of 2019, South Africa have a catch success rate of 78% in men's T20I matches, only Bangladesh and India have a poorer rate amongst Test playing nations; the Proteas have dropped 38 of their 172 chances presented to them during this period.
- Quinton de Kock (9) is one away from becoming the fourth player to make 10 scores of 50+ for South Africa in men's T20Is (Faf du Plessis - 11, JP Duminy - 11 and AB de Villiers – 10); de Kock has scored a half century in three of his last four T20I innings.
- Mark Adair (Ireland) has an economy rate of 6.4 in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2018, the second best by any bowler (min. 30 overs) from a Test playing country in that time (Mujeeb Ur Rahman - 6.2 for Afghanistan).
- Tabraiz Shamsi (South Africa) has bowled 292 dot balls in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2018, the second most by any player from a Test playing country in that time (Tim Southee - 361).
- Andy Balbirnie (Ireland) has played a false shot on 18.3% of the balls he has faced in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2019; only India's Lokesh Rahul (15%) and Virat Kohli (16.9%) have a better rate in that time amongst players from Test playing countries (min. 270 balls faced).
