- South Africa have won their only two men’s T20Is against Afghanistan, batting first on the day in each of those two matches; only against Bangladesh (W9), Zimbabwe (W5) and Ireland (W5) have the Proteas played more games in the history of the format without losing.
- Afghanistan have recorded an eight-wicket victory against Oman (20 January 2017 – Desert T20 Challenge) and a four-wicket victory against Pakistan (6 October 2023 – Asian Games) in their only two previous semi finals in their history in men’s international cricket (Test/ODI/T20I).
- South Africa have won only one of all their 13 semi finals (W1 T1 L11) in men’s international cricket (Test/ODI/T20I) – a 92-run victory against Sri Lanka (30 October 1998 – Wills International Cup); the Proteas are winless in their 10 such fixtures since then (T1 L9).
- South Africa have a batting good connection rate of 63.9% at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, the best of any team in the tournament; in addition, the Proteas have saved 23 runs when fielding – more than any other team in the campaign.
- Afghanistan (6) and South Africa (4) have made the most run outs when fielding of any teams at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024; although, the Proteas (37) have taken four more catches than Afghanistan (33).
- Afghanistan have a bowling strike rate of 13.5 at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, the best of any team in the tournament; in addition, their bowling average (13.3) is the second best of any team in the campaign (New Zealand – 11.7).
- Rashid Khan (W15) is one away from equaling Mohammad Nabi (W16) for the second most wins as captain of Afghanistan in men’s T20Is; only Asghar Afghan (W42) has recorded more in the history of the format among the Afghans.
- Reeza Hendricks (1,909) is 91 away from becoming the third player to score 2,000 runs for South Africa in men’s T20Is (Quinton de Kock and David Miller); if he achieves the milestone in this innings (66*), he’d be the fastest player to reach it for the Proteas, surpassing Quinton de Kock (71 innings).
- Fazalhaq Farooqi (16 for Afghanistan in 2024) is one away from surpassing Wanindu Hasaranga (16 for Sri Lanka in 2021) for the outright most wickets in a single edition in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history; he recorded figures of 3-16 in his only previous T20I innings at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba (13 June 2024 v Papua New Guinea).
- Anrich Nortje (49) is one away from becoming the eighth player to take 50 wickets for South Africa in men’s T20Is; he’s taken 11 wickets at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 – only Imran Tahir (12 in 2014) has logged more in a single edition for the Proteas in the history of the tournament.
