- South Africa have won six of their seven men’s ODIs against Ireland (L1), including a 70-run win when these two sides last met (July 16, 2021) thanks largely to a 225-run opening partnership between Janneman Malan and Quinton de Kock.
- Ireland have lost their last two men’s ODIs, both to Afghanistan earlier this year, after winning five of their previous six matches (L1) prior to that span; they bowled first in each of these losses to Afghanistan.
- South Africa won their last men’s ODI against Afghanistan by seven wickets (September 22, 2024) after losing five of their previous six matches (W1) prior to that match; they will be looking to win back-to-back matches in the format for the first time since a four-game winning streak from October-November 2023.
- South Africa have won 70% of their men’s ODIs in the United Arab Emirates (16/23), the highest winning percentage of any team in the country (min. 5 matches played); Ireland have won 11 of their 19 completed matches in the country.
- Ireland have taken 82.4% of their catches in men’s ODIs since the start of 2023, only England (84.2%) have a higher such rate amongst Test playing nations; South Africa are next best having held onto 82.1% of their catches in that span.
- South Africa have scored 53.5% of their men’s ODI runs in boundaries since the start of 2023, with only Australia (57.4%) having scored at a higher such rate; 48.2% of Ireland’s runs have come in boundaries in that span.
- Graham Hume (Ireland) failed to take a wicket in his most recent men’s ODI against Afghanistan (March 12, 2024), after having taken five wickets in two previous matches in the format; he will be looking to avoid going wicketless in back-to-back matches for the first time in his career.
- South Africa’s Temba Bavuma is without a 50+ score in each of his last 11 men’s ODI innings, his longest such run in the format; Bavuma’s highest score in that period was 38 against Afghanistan at Sharjah on 20 September 2024.
- Curtis Campher (924) needs 76 more runs to become the 10th player to reach 1000 men’s ODI runs for Ireland; he scored 54 runs in his only previous innings against South Africa (July 16, 2021).
- Lungi Ngidi has picked up a wicket in each of his last five men’s ODI matches; the last time he went on a longer such run was a stretch of 18 matches between February 2018 and May 2019.
