- Australia will be aiming for back-to-back wins in men’s ODIs against South Africa for the first time since November 2014, following their three-wicket victory against the Proteas in their most recent meeting (7 September 2023).
- South Africa lost their most recent men’s ODI by three wickets (7 September 2023 v Australia); the Proteas had lost only two of their previous seven matches in the format prior to that game (W5, L2).
- Australia have won nine of their last 10 men’s ODIs (L1), including each of their last three; their only defeat in that span was a five-wicket loss against India (17 March 2023).
- South Africa will be looking to avoid back-to-back defeats in men’s ODIs at Mangaung Oval for the first time since January 1996, following their three-wicket loss to Australia in their most recent match at the venue (7 September 2023).
- South Africa (once every 7.6 balls faced) and Australia (once every 7.7 balls faced) have hit a boundary more frequently than any other Test playing countries in men’s ODIs in 2023.
- Batters have left eight percent of Australia’s balls bowled in men’s ODIs in 2023, the highest rate of any Test playing country this year.
- Marnus Labuschagne (927) is 73 away from scoring 1,000 runs for Australia in men’s ODIs; Labuschagne’s ODI batting average against South Africa (76.3) is the second best of any player in the history of the format (min. 4 innings) behind only James Faulkner (90).
- Quinton de Kock (5,977) is 23 away from becoming the seventh player to score 6,000 runs for South Africa in men’s ODIs; if de Kock reaches the milestone in this innings (142*), he’d be the second fastest player to achieve it for the Proteas, behind only Hashim Amla (123 innings).
- Australia duo Mitchell Marsh (211 runs – 87%) and Travis Head (122 runs – 84%) have scored a higher percentage of their runs from boundaries than any other players from Test playing countries in men’s ODIs in 2023 (min. 40 runs scored).
- South Africa duo David Miller (32.8% from 180 balls faced) and Heinrich Klaasen (33.6% from 214 balls faced) have the best batting dot ball rates of any players from Test playing countries in men’s ODIs in 2023 (min. 75 balls faced).
