- South Africa have now won each of their six men’s T20I matches against Ireland, including the first game of this series by eight wickets; only against Bangladesh have the Proteas won more games in the format without losing even once (9).
- South Africa snapped a four-game losing run in men’s T20Is away from home with a win against Ireland in the previous game; the Proteas have now won four of their five games at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, batting second on all four occasions, having batted first in the only game they have lost at the venue (v Australia in October 2021).
- Ireland have lost each of their last four men’s T20I matches, having won each of the three prior games in the format; the last time they lost more games in succession in the format was a run of eight losses between February and August 2022.
- South Africa have lost each of their last three multi-game bilateral men’s T20I series away from home and win for them on Sunday will give them their first such series win since August 2022, when they defeated Ireland themselves 2-0; indeed, the Proteas have only beaten European sides in such series since the start of 2022 (also beat England 2-1 in July 2022).
- South Africa seamers have induced a dot ball rate of 46.2% in men’s T20Is since the start of 2024, the third best such rate among full-member sides in the format behind only India (49.9%) and Bangladesh (49.8%).
- South Africa batters have registered a batting average of 19.8 against seamers in men’s T20Is since the start of 2024, the second lowest such aggregate among all full-member sides this year (Afghanistan – 18.5); Ireland (20.2) have the fourth lowest such average (Zimbabwe – 20).
- Reeza Hendricks (16) is one 50 away from becoming the player with joint-most knocks of 50+ runs for South Africa in men’s T20Is alongside Quinton de Kock (17); Hendricks has logged three 50+ scores in four T20I innings against Ireland, including a 51 in the first game of the ongoing series.
- Mark Adair (Ireland) has taken a wicket in all of his 13 men’s T20I games in 2024, which is also his longest run of successive games with at least one wicket in the format; Adair has now taken 21 wickets in 2024, making it the fourth straight calendar year in which he has taken 20+ wickets.
- Aiden Markram (South Africa) has a batting average of 59.7 from six men’s T20Is in the United Arab Emirates, the third highest of any player to have batted at least five times in the country (Kevin Pietersen – 72.3, Virat Kohli – 68.8); Markram has scored 179 from six innings in the nation and remained not out on each of the last two occasions.
- Harry Tector (940 runs) is 60 away from becoming just the fourth Ireland batter to score 1000+ runs in men’s T20Is away from home; Tector’s highest score in the format in such games is 56* and he has not scored more than 16 runs in any of his last nine such innings.
