- South Africa have won two of their last three women’s T20Is against Australia (L1), including an eight-wicket victory when they last met (17 October 2024 – ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Semi-Final); they had lost all their eight matches against them in the format prior to that span and will be aiming for consecutive wins against them for the first time.
- South Africa defeated Australia by eight wickets when they last met at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup (17 October 2024), after losing all their seven meetings in the tournament prior to that game.
- Australia have won 15 of their last 16 women’s T20Is away from home (L1), including each of their last six; their only defeat in that span came in their last meeting with South Africa (17 October 2024 – ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Semi-Final in Dubai).
- South Africa have won only one of their last seven women’s T20Is away from home (L6) – an 18-run victory against New Zealand (17 March 2026 at Seddon Park in Hamilton); they’ve lost each of their three games since then, the last time they recorded a longer losing run on the road in the format was a four-match span from September 2023 to January 2024.
- Australia will be looking to avoid consecutive defeats at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup for the first time in the history of the tournament, following their eight-wicket loss against South Africa last time out (17 October 2024) which snapped a 15-match winning run in the tournament.
- South Africa batters recorded a collective batting average of 30 at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, the best of any team in the tournament and eight runs more than Australia (22); in addition, their batting dot ball rate (36.3%) was the second best of any team in the campaign (India – 35.6%).
- Australia duo Tahlia McGrath (4 from 4 overs) and Megan Schutt (4.07 from 17.4 overs) recorded the best bowling economy rates of any players at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024; Schutt’s tally is the second best of any player to log at least five overs for Australia in a single edition of the tournament (Lisa Sthalekar – 4.05 from 18 overs bowled in 2012).
- South Africa duo Marizanne Kapp (83) and Nonkululeko Mlaba (77) bowled more dot balls than any other players at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024; Mlaba took 12 wickets, the most of any player for South Africa at a single edition of the tournament.
- Beth Mooney (6) is one away from equaling Alyssa Healy (7) for the most 50+ scores for Australia in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup history; she’s scored 40+ in four of her last five T20I innings against South Africa overall (74*, 72*, 13, 82, 44).
- Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa) scored 140 runs during the powerplay at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, 36 more than any other player and one of only two to log 100+ during this period (Suzie Bates – 104 for New Zealand); she scored 223 runs in the campaign overall, the second most of any player for South Africa in a single edition of the tournament behind only her own record in 2022 (230).
