- South Africa won by eight wickets in their last men’s ODI against Pakistan, ending a five-game losing streak against them in the format; they’ll now be hunting for back-to-back wins against them in the format for the first time since January 2019.
- This current men’s ODI series between Pakistan and South Africa is tied at 1-1 with one match remaining; Pakistan have won three of the previous four bilateral series between these teams including their last two in a row but had never won a series against South Africa in the format prior.
- Each of the last six men’s ODIs at Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad have been won by the team batting second on the day, with Pakistan picking up five wins in that frame; the last time a team successfully defended a total at the venue was on December 3, 2003 when Pakistan defended a score of 314 runs against New Zealand.
- South Africa have won only three of their last eight men’s ODIs in Asia with all three of those wins coming in Pakistan on the day; in fact they are one of only two visiting teams (also Australia) to have won more matches in Pakistan than they’ve lost (W18 L15).
- Pakistan have lost nine of their last 11 men’s ODIs including an eight-wicket loss to South Africa in their most recent match (W2); in fact, they’ve lost 10 matches so far in 2025 in the format which equals their second most in a calendar year in the last decade (L15 in 2019).
- Pakistan have not taken a wicket during the power play in either of their two matches against South Africa in this current men’s ODI series after taking at least one power play wicket in each of their 20 previous matches in the format.
- Pakistan have dismissed just 2.4 batters per innings within their first 20 balls faced in men’s ODIs in 2025, the second fewer of any full member nation ahead of only Zimbabwe (2), while South Africa average 3.3.
- Nandre Burger (South Africa) has a bowling dot ball rate of 65% from his 10 overs in this current men’s ODI series between South Africa and Pakistan, the best of any bowler, and has taken 18 wickets across his last 10 matches in the format including career-best figures of 4/46 in the second match of this series.
- Quinton de Kock (South Africa) has scored 186 runs in this men’s ODI series between South Africa and Pakistan, the most of any batter, while his 186 average for the series is his best ever in a bilateral series in the format (143.5 vs Bangladesh in October 2017).
- Mohammad Nawaz (Pakistan) has taken 46 wickets across his ODI career and needs just four more to reach 50 in the format; though, he’s taken just one wicket across his last three matches against South Africa.
