- New Zealand have won three of their last four men’s T20Is against South Africa (L1), including each of their last two; this is the first time the Black Caps have recorded consecutive wins against the Proteas in the history of the format.
- New Zealand have won eight of their last nine men’s T20Is (L1), including each of their last six; the last and only time the Black Caps recorded a longer winning run in the format was a nine-match span from July to August in 2022.
- South Africa have lost four of their last five men’s T20Is at neutral venues (W1), after winning seven consecutive such fixtures prior; the Proteas have lost each of their last three games in that span and will be looking to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat in such fixtures for the first time in the history of the format.
- New Zealand have lost all three of their previous tournament Finals in men’s T20I history (21 February 2018 v Australia in Trans-Tasman Twenty20 Tri-Series, 14 November 2021 v Australia in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, 14 October 2022 v Pakistan in Tri-Series) while this will be South Africa’s second appearance in a Final in the history of the format (lost to India on 29 June 2024 in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup).
- South Africa have taken at least one wicket during the powerplay in each of their last 10 men’s T20I innings (14 wickets in total at an average of 33.1); the last time the Proteas took wickets in more consecutive innings during this period was a span of 28 from January 2017 to February 2020 (51 wickets in total at an average of 26.4).
- New Zealand have made either a run out (3) or a stumping (1) when fielding across their last four men’s T20I innings; the last time the Black Caps recorded a longer such run was a span of five innings from February to October in 2018 (4 run outs, 2 stumpings).
- Reeza Hendricks (South Africa) has recorded a batting good connection rate of 75% from 71 balls faced in this men’s T20I tri-series with New Zealand and Zimbabwe, the best of any player to face more than one delivery; although, he’s scored fewer than 50 runs in each of his four T20I innings away from home in 2025 after finishing 2024 with 50+ scores in his previous two such fixtures.
- Tim Seifert (New Zealand) has scored 50+ in each of his last two T20I innings (66*, 75); the last and only time he logged more 50+ scores in succession in the format was a three-innings span from April to August in 2023 (79*, 88, 55).
- Dewald Brevis (South Africa) has hit a boundary once every 3.9 balls faced in this men’s T20I tri-series with New Zealand and Zimbabwe, the most frequent of any player; indeed, his nine sixes in the tournament are four more than any other player.
- Zak Foulkes (New Zealand) has recorded a bowling economy rate of 3.8 from 41 balls bowled in this men’s T20I tri-series with South Africa and Zimbabwe, the best of any player in the campaign; in addition, his bowling dot ball rate (63%) is the best of any player in the tournament.
