- Pakistan have won three of their last four men's ODIs against South Africa (L1), including each of their last two meetings.
- South Africa were defeated by a margin of three wickets in the series opener; they have not suffered back-to-back men's ODI losses on home soil since February 2018, however.
- Pakistan have won each of their last five men's ODIs outside their own country; the last time they lost on the road came at ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 versus India (Old Trafford, 16 June 2019).
- South Africa lost their most recent men's ODI at the Wanderers by two wickets (9 February 2020 v England); only once previously have they logged consecutive defeats in the format at the Johannesburg ground (L3, April 2009 to January 2012).
- Pakistan currently lead this bilateral men's ODI series 1-0; if they win this match they will become just the second visiting team in the format's history to win more than one multi-game series against the Proteas in South Africa (Australia x3).
- Since the start of 2019, Pakistan’s batsmen have a dot ball rate of 47% in men’s ODI cricket - the lowest rate of any Test-playing country across that time.
- Quinton de Kock (South Africa) has scored 50+ in each of his last two ODI innings at the Wanderers, posting 81 versus Sri Lanka there in March 2019 before logging 69 against England in February 2020.
- Rassie van der Dussen has averaged 83 across his 17 ODI knocks for South Africa; currently the highest rate ever recorded in ODI cricket (5+ innings).
- Babar Azam (Pakistan) has a batting average of 66.3 in men's ODIs against South Africa, the second-best by any player (min. 8 innings) in the format (Jonathan Trott - 70.7 for England).
- Shaheen Shah Afridi (47) is three wickets away from reaching 50 for Pakistan in men's ODIs; if he can achieve the milestone in this match, he would equal the record for the fastest Pakistan player to reach 50 wickets in the format (Hasan Ali - 24 matches).
