- Pakistan have won three of their last four meetings with South Africa (L1) in men’s ODIs, with their only loss during this span coming by a 17-run margin on 4 April 2021; in fact, the Shaheens have also won two of their last five meetings on the bounce with the Proteas (L3) in the men’s ODI World Cup.
- South Africa have logged a 350+ score when batting first in the ongoing men’s ODI World Cup three times, the most of any team; in competition history, both the Proteas and Australia have recorded 350+ scores when batting first eight times.
- Pakistan have lost each of their last three matches in the men’s ODI World Cup, after winning six on the trot prior to that; the Shaheens have never lost more back-to-back matches in the history of the competition.
- This will be the third time South Africa play a men’s ODI at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, having lost each of their previous such games – batting second on both occasions.
- South Africa have struck a boundary once in every 7.2 deliveries in men’s ODIs played in 2023, the joint highest of all full-member sides (also Australia); in fact, the Proteas boundary run percentage of 55.3% is second best this year behind only Australia (58.8%).
- Pakistan have struck 136 boundary fours in the 2023 men’s ODI World Cup, second to only South Africa (155) in this category; however, the Shaheens have conceded 131 fours, second to only Netherlands (148) so far in the ongoing edition of the competition.
- Hasan Ali (99 wickets) is one shy of becoming the 21st Pakistan bowler to take 100 wickets in men’s ODIs; in fact, he has logged at least one wicket in four of his five innings in the ongoing men’s ODI World Cup.
- Aiden Markram (1,930 runs) is 70 away from becoming the 20th South Africa batter to score 2,000 ODI runs; in fact, the last time he logged more than 70 runs in an innings in the format was during the Proteas’ opening game of the ongoing edition of the men’s ODI World Cup (106 runs vs Sri Lanka on 7 October 2023).
- South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen and Pakistan’s Babar Azam have both logged a batting good connection rate of 79% in men’s ODIs in 2023, the joint third highest by any full-member side batters to have batted in at least 10 innings this year.
- No player has scored more runs off the sweep shot in men’s ODIs played in 2023 than Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan – 151 runs; Heinrich Klaasen is South Africa’s best player in this category with 25 such runs this year.
