- South Africa have won six of their last seven Tests against Pakistan, including their last three on the bounce; they will be looking to win a fourth consecutive game against Pakistan for the first time and claim a series whitewash in the process.
- South Africa are undefeated in their three previous games against Pakistan at The Wanderers (W2, D1), with their most recent clash at the venue ending in a 211-run victory to the Proteas.
- South Africa have secured a series victory for their ninth time in their last 11 Test series and will now be looking to complete a series whitewash in a three or more game series for the first time since a 3-0 win against Sri Lanka in 2016/17.
- Each of South Africa's last 13 games at The Wanderers has seen the result change (W6, D1, L6); however, they will be searching for back-to-back victories at the venue for the first time since 2002/03 after cruising to a 492-run victory over Australia in their most recent fixture at the venue.
- Pakistan have now lost three consecutive Tests heading into this fixture; the last time they lost more in succession was a six-game stretch from October 2016 to January 2017.
- South Africa have lost just one of their last 11 games without Faf du Plessis in the XI (W6, D4); their only loss in that span coming against England at Lord's in July 2017.
- Vernon Philander (South Africa) has a bowling average of 15.1 at The Wanderers, the best of any player to have bowled in at least five innings there; in fact, it's his best Test bowling average at any venue where he's played more than once.
- Yasir Shah (203) is just six wickets shy of eclipsing Saqlain Mushtaq (208) as the third-most prolific wicket-taker among spin bowlers for Pakistan; Shah has taken just one Test wicket from three innings against South Africa, at an average of 123 however.
- Dale Steyn (South Africa) boasts bowling figures of 3/35 against opening batsmen so far this series, the best figures of any player; no other player has taken the wicket of openers more than twice this series.
- Shan Masood (Pakistan) has made 189 runs so far this series, the most of any player and 48 more than South Africa's best Temba Bavuma (141); indeed, Masood has managed more scores of 50+ against South Africa (3) in his Test career than against any other opponent.
