- Pakistan have won seven of their last eight multi-game bilateral series in men’s ODIs (L1), including each of their last four; they will be looking to win five consecutive such series for the first time since a six-series winning streak from January to December 2011.
- South Africa lost their last men’s ODI bilateral series in South Africa 1-2 to India in December 2023, after being undefeated in three previous home series (W2 D1); they will be looking to avoid losing back-to-back series at home for the first time in the history of the format.

- Pakistan have restricted the opposition to 4.9 runs per over in men’s ODIs since the start of 2024, the best rate among Test playing countries (min. 4 matches played); it is their best such rate in a calendar year since 2018 (4.8).

- Andile Phehlukwayo (96) is four wickets away from becoming the 13th player to take 100 wickets in men’s ODIs for South Africa; Phehlukwayo has picked up at least one wicket in seven out of the last eight matches that that he has bowled in in the format.
- Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan) has taken 2.3 catches per innings in men’s ODIs since the start of 2024 (14 catches in six matches); only Bangladesh’s Mushfiqur Rahim has taken more catches per innings (3.3 – 13 catches in 4 matches).
- Since the start of 2023, Heinrich Klaasen (South Africa) has batted at a strike rate of 140.7 in men’s ODIs, highest such rate among all players to have faced a minimum of 100 balls in the format in that period; among batters from full member nations, only Rohit Sharma (75) and Mitchell Marsh (48) have hit more sixes than Klaasen in that period (44).
- Saim Ayub (Pakistan) has scored 279 runs at an average of 69.8 in his last five men’s ODIs, striking a boundary once in less than 10 balls in four of those five matches; he is the only Pakistan player to have scored more than 200 runs in 2024 for Pakistan (280).
