- South Africa are unbeaten in each of their seven bilateral multigame men’s Test series against Bangladesh (W6 D1), including winning each of the last two on the bounce; in fact, each of the Proteas’ six such series wins have come by a 2-0 margin.
- Bangladesh have failed to win each of their last six bilateral multigame men’s Test series played at home (D1 L5), including a 0-2 loss to Sri Lanka in their most recent such series (March-April 2024); the Tigers’ last such win at home came by a 2-0 margin against West Indies (November-December 2018).
- South Africa won their most recent away men’s Test by a 40-run margin (vs West Indies in August 2024), snapping an eight-game winless run in such games in the format (D2 L6); the last time the Proteas won consecutive away games in the format was a two-game stretch between February and August in 2022.
- Bangladesh have lost five of their last seven men’s Tests (W2) including losing each of the last two on the bounce; however, with both the wins coming in 2024, the Tigers are one win away from equaling their record of most men’s Tests wins in a single calendar year in format history (also 3 wins in 2023, 2018 and 2014).
- Bangladesh have scored 53% of their runs via boundaries in men’s Tests played in 2024, the second highest of all teams behind India (54.9%); 1,414 of their 2,670 runs (316 fours & 25 sixes) in the format this year have come from boundaries.
- South Africa and Bangladesh have a catch success rate of 71% and 72.4% respectively in men’s Tests since the start of 2024, the lowest and second lowest such rate of all sides; the Proteas have dropped 18 of the 62 chances presented to them, while the Tigers have dropped 24 of their 87 chances.
- Mushfiqur Rahim (5,961 runs) is 39 away from becoming the first Bangladesh batter to score 6,000 runs in men’s Tests; however, his batting average of 21.7 against South Africa is his second lowest against any opponent in the format (19.5 vs Afghanistan).
- Kagiso Rabada (299 wickets) is one away from becoming the sixth bowler to take 300 wickets for South Africa in men’s Tests; in fact, if Rabada (65th* match) reaches this mark against Bangladesh, he’ll become the third fastest to do so for the Proteas after Dale Steyn (61) and Allan Donald (63) in terms of matches.
- Taijul Islam (196 wickets) is four away from becoming the second Bangladesh bowler to pick up 200 wickets in men’s Tests (Shakib Al Hasan – 246); however, he has picked up a total of only four wickets in the format in 2024, failing to pick up a wicket in three of his six innings during this span.
- David Bedingham (South Africa) has scored 64.4% of his 348 runs in men’s Tests in 2024 via boundaries, the second highest such share among batters to have faced at least 300 deliveries (Cameron Green – 64.9%); in fact, no Proteas batter has scored more runs than him in this calendar year.
