- South Africa have won nine of their last 10 men's ODIs against Australia, including their last three on the bounce.
- South Africa have won five of their previous seven bilateral men's ODI series against Australia and will be looking to make it three series wins in a row with a series-clinching victory in this game.
- South Africa have won five of their last six bilateral men's ODI series; they were involved in a 1-1 draw in their most recent such series however (v England).
- Australia have won only one of their last six men's ODIs played away from home despite having won the toss on four occasions in that period.
- South Africa have lost only one of their last 11 men's ODIs played at Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein (W9, T1); losing only against England in 2016 across that period.
- Andile Phehlukwayo has a bowling strike rate of 11.6 from short deliveries in men's ODIs since the beginning of 2019, the third-best of any player to have bowled more than 50 short balls in that period (Nuwan Pradeep 10.4 & Liam Plunkett 10.7).
- Steven Smith has scored 85, 98, 131, 76 in his last four men's ODI innings; he will be looking to make it just the fourth time an Australian batsman has scored 50+ in five or more consecutive innings, and the first since he did so in 2015 (6 - Mark Waugh in 1999; 5 - Ricky Ponting in 2004).
- Quinton de Kock (South Africa) scored an unbeaten 138 runs in his only previous ODI at Mangaung Oval (v England, 2016); he has failed to post more than 15 in three of his last four ODI innings versus Australia, however.
- Pat Cummins (Australia) bowled seven short balls in the series opener against South Africa; every other bowler in that game combined for just two.
- Mitchell Marsh (Australia) has been out to South Africa's Lungi Ngidi on three occasions so far across both white-ball series, more often than any other batsman has been dismissed by a specific bowler to date: posting just eight runs in response.
