- This will be the fourth multi-game bilateral men's T20I series between West Indies and South Africa; West Indies won the most recent iteration (2-1, January 2015), after going winless in the two such series prior (D1, L1).
- West Indies will be aiming for back-to-back multi-game bilateral men's T20I series victories for the first time since March 2013, following their 2-1 triumph over Sri Lanka in their most recent iteration in March 2021.
- South Africa are winless in their last six multi-game bilateral men's T20I series (D1, L5); it is the Proteas' longest winless run in such series.
- This will be the second men's T20I at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada; Ireland defeated West Indies by four runs in the inaugural fixture at the venue (15 January 2020) as they successfully defended their first innings total of 208 runs.
- West Indies have scored 62% of their runs from boundaries in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2019, the best rate of any Test-playing country and five percentage points higher than South Africa (57%).
- South Africa have a bowling dot ball percentage of 33% in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2019, the lowest of any Test-playing country and two percentage points fewer than West Indies (35%).
- South Africa have saved 58 runs when fielding in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2019; only New Zealand (61) have prevented more in that time amongst Test-playing countries.
- Evin Lewis (989) is 11 away from becoming the sixth player to score 1,000 runs for West Indies in men's T20Is; if he reaches the milestone in this match, he would be the second fastest player (35 innings) to achieve the feat for West Indies (Chris Gayle – 34 innings).
- Aiden Markram (South Africa) has hit a boundary once every three balls faced in men's T20Is since the beginning of 2019, the most frequent of any batter (min. 50 balls faced) from a Test-playing country in that time.
- This is set to be Kieron Pollard's 18th men’s T20I as captain for West Indies, taking him to outright third for the most appearances as captain for West Indies in the format (also Chris Gayle – 17); only Daren Sammy (47) and Carlos Brathwaite (30) have played more men's T20Is as captain of the side.
