- Anything but a loss for South Africa sees them notch back-to-back series wins against Australia for the first time since 1970; indeed, it would be just the third series win against them on home turf in their 15th such series (D2, L10).
- South Africa have lost their last five Tests against Australia at The Wanderers, last picking up a win against them at the venue in March 1994.
- Australia have won just three of their last nine Tests against South Africa with a captain other than Steve Smith (D2, L4).
- Three of the top five Test wicket takers since the beginning of 2017 ply their trade for the Proteas (Rabada 92, Morkel 64, Maharaj 62), while Australia’s Nathan Lyon sits second on 78 wickets.
- Hashim Amla has scored 50+ in each of his last three innings at The Wanderers (52, 61, 134), and is just 11 runs shy of becoming the second batsman in Test history to score 1,000 runs at the venue (Kallis 1,148).
