- England will be aiming for back-to-back wins in men's ODIs against South Africa for the first time since May 2017, following their 59-run victory against the Proteas in their most recent meeting (1 February 2023).
- England have won each of their last two ICC Cricket World Cup matches against South Africa, as many as they won across all their five meetings against the Proteas in the tournament prior to that span (W2 L3).
- South Africa defeated India by 214 runs in their most recent men's ODI at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai (25 October 2015); the Proteas had lost all three of their matches at the venue prior to that fixture.
- England have lost two of their last three ICC Cricket World Cup matches (W1), as many defeats as they logged across their nine matches in the tournament prior to that span (W6 T1 L2).
- South Africa have hit a boundary once every 4.9 balls faced during the death overs (41st-50th) in men's ODIs in 2023, the most frequent of any Test playing country this year.
- England have a batting false shot percentage of 34% during the first 10 overs of men's ODIs in 2023, the highest rate of any Test playing country this year and seven percentage points more than South Africa (27%).
- Joe Root (928) is 72 away from becoming the first player to score 1,000 runs for England at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup; in addition, Root (8) is one away from equalling Graham Gooch (9) for the most 50+ scores for England in the history of the tournament.
- Batters have played at and missed at 18% of Marco Jansen's (South Africa) balls bowled in men's ODIs in 2023, the highest rate of any player from a Test playing country this year (min. 35 overs bowled).
- Jos Buttler (4,895) is 105 away from becoming the fifth player to score 5,000 runs for England in men's ODIs; if Buttler achieves the milestone in this innings (146*), he'll become the second fastest player to reach it for England (Joe Root – 116 innings).
- Heinrich Klaasen (South Africa) has a batting strike rate of 145.6 in men's ODIs in 2023, the best of any player in the format this year (min. 90 balls faced).
