- South Africa have won their last three consecutive men’s T20Is against Pakistan, including a 55-run win in the first match of this current series; though, neither team has ever won more than three straight iterations of this fixture.
- South Africa will be looking to secure series victory with a win in this match; they won their last bilateral men’s T20I series against Pakistan in December 2024 but haven’t won back-to-back series (min. 2 games) against them since November 2013.
- This will be the fourth meeting between Pakistan and South Africa at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore in men’s T20Is with Pakistan winning two of their previous three encounters at the venue, all of which came in February 2021.
- Pakistan are on a four-match winning streak at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore in men’s T20Is after winning only two of their previous six matches at the venue; indeed, this current four-game streak is their best ever at the venue in the format.
- Pakistan have lost their last two men’s T20Is in a row after losing only two of their previous eight matches in the format; on the other hand, South Africa will be looking to win back-to-back games in the format for the first time since their first game of 2025 in July, after winning the first match of this series by 55 runs.
- Bangladesh (38) are the only team to have dropped more catches than Pakistan (29) in men’s T20Is in 2025, while Pakistan dropped two catches in the first match of this current series against South Africa after not dropping any catches across their previous four meetings.
- Only Afghanistan (105.1) have a lower batting strike rate during the power play in men’s T20Is in 2025 than Pakistan (120.7); they’ve scored fewer than 40 runs during the power play in two of their last three men’s T20Is after reaching at least 40 runs in that stage in 10 of their previous 11 matches in the format.
- Saim Ayub (49) is set to play his 50th T20I match after top-scoring for Pakistan with 37 runs in the first match of this ongoing series against South Africa; he also scored 45 runs from just 29 balls – including four sixes – in his last T20I innings at Gaddafi Stadium.
- Corbin Bosch (South Africa) took four wickets and drew 16 false shots in the opening match of this men’s T20I series against Pakistan, the most of any player from either team, and has now taken multiple wickets in each of his last four innings in the format, taking 12 in total in that stretch.
- Reeza Hendricks (2,449) is 51 away from becoming the third player to score 2,500 men’s T20I runs for South Africa; he top-scored with 60 runs in the first match of this ongoing series against Pakistan and has now scored 177 runs across his last two innings against Pakistan in the format.
