  • Australia are undefeated in their last four multi-game bilateral men's T20I series against South Africa (W3, D1), they haven't lost such a series to the Proteas since March 2009 (2-0).
  • Australia defeated South Africa by five wickets in their most recent men's T20I at The Wanderers Stadium (6 March 2016), after losing each of their three meetings at the venue prior.
  • South Africa have won four of their last six bilateral men's T20I series on home soil (L2), those defeats coming against India (2-1, February 2018) and England (2-1, February 2020).
  • Australia come into this series with South Africa having gone four multi-game bilateral men's T20I series unbeaten (W3 D1); winning each of their last three.
  • South Africa have won 13 men's T20Is at The Wanderers Stadium; eight more victories than they've managed at any other venue in the format.
  • Aaron Finch (1,878) needs 122 runs to become the second player to score 2,000 for Australia in men's T20Is (David Warner - 2,079); in fact, he is one of only two players overall to have scored multiple hundreds (2) in the format away from home (also Glenn Maxwell - 2).
  • Quinton de Kock (South Africa) has posted scores of 52, 79*, 31, 65 and 35 across his last five T20I knocks; averaging just under four sixes per innings during that run (3.8).
  • Lungi Ngidi (South Africa) comes into this game as the highest wicket-taker in the recent three-match T20I series against England, claiming three more than any other bowler (eight); he was struck for more sixes than anybody else however (nine).
  • Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma have logged five T20I partnerships together - those stands have been worth 57, 64*, 48, 92 and 84; they were two of three highest run-scorers in the recent three-match T20I series against England.
  • No batsman from a Test-playing side has struck more sixes during the death overs (17-20) in men's T20Is since the start of 2015 than South Africa's David Miller (level with Mohammad Nabi - 24).
