- Afghanistan defeated South Africa by six wickets when they last met in a men’s ODI (18 September 2024); they had lost each of their only two meetings in the format prior to that game.
- South Africa have won only one of their last five men’s ODIs (L4) – an eight-wicket victory against India (19 December 2023); the Proteas have lost each of their two matches in the format since then – the last time they recorded a longer losing run was a three-match span from May to June in 2019.
- Afghanistan have won each of their last three men’s ODIs, as many as they won across their nine matches in the format prior to that span (W3 L6); the last time they recorded a longer winning run was a five-match span from February to November in 2022.
- Afghanistan have won their last six men’s ODIs at Sharjah Cricket Stadium; a seventh consecutive win in this game would be their outright longest winning run at the venue in the history of the format (also W6 from March 2013 to December 2015).
- South Africa have made eight stumpings when fielding in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2023, the most of any Test playing country in that time; in addition, the Proteas’ catch success rate (82.2% - 143/174) is the third best of any Test playing country (England – 84.2% and Ireland – 82.4%).
- Afghanistan have a bowling average of 37.1 during the death overs (41st-50th) in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2023, the highest of any Test playing country in that time; in fact, their 31 wickets during this period is the second fewest of any team (West Indies – 29).
- Fazalhaq Farooqi (48) is two away from becoming the seventh player to take 50 wickets for Afghanistan in men’s ODIs; he’s taken nine wickets at an average of 12.1 across his last three ODI innings, including figures of 4-35 against South Africa last time out.
- Fazalhaq Farooqi (48) is two away from becoming the seventh player to take 50 wickets for Afghanistan in men’s ODIs; he’s taken nine wickets at an average of 12.1 across his last three ODI innings, including figures of 4-35 against South Africa last time out.
- Reeza Hendricks (938) is 62 away from scoring 1,000 runs for South Africa in men’s ODIs; his ODI batting average in Asia (33.9) is his best on any continent.
- Afghanistan’s Nangeyalia Kharote (3.3) and AM Ghazanfar (3.5) have the second and third best bowling economy rates of any players from Test playing countries (min. 10 overs bowled) in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2023 (Xavier Bartlett – 2.4 for Australia).
- Bjorn Fortuin has taken 28.6% of South Africa’s wickets when he’s played in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2023, the best rate of any player for a Test playing country in that time (min. 3 innings).
