- South Africa and Sri Lanka have shared the spoils across the two previous multi-game bilateral T20I series played out between these sides (1-1).
- Sri Lanka have lost five of their last seven T20I fixtures (W1 T1); although one of those games officially ended in a tie, the Lions suffered defeat in the subsequent one-over eliminator (19th March 2019).
- The 1st T20 of this series was the first time that South Africa had ever been involved in a tied fixture in this format whilst it was the second instance for Sri Lanka, doing so against New Zealand in 2012; the Lions did win the one-over eliminator on that occasion however.
- South Africa and Sri Lanka have only met once before at SuperSport Park in Centurion; the hosts claimed a convincing 19-run victory over the Lions in January 2017.
- South Africa have tasted defeat in four of their last six T20I outings at SuperSport Park (W2); the hosts succumbing to a comprehensive 27-run loss to Pakistan at the venue last month, their most recent appearance there.
- Only two yorkers were bowled across the entirety of the 1st T20 of this series between South Africa and Sri Lanka; both of those deliveries were dots.
- David Miller blasted 40 runs off only 18 balls when his side faced Sri Lanka at Centurion in 2017, he comes into this game having posted 41 from 23 balls in Cape Town versus the Lions.
- Quinton de Kock (South Africa) has scored 366 runs across the ODI and T20I series against Sri Lanka, 73 more than anybody else (on either side); five of his six dismissals in those matches have been bowled on a good length with the ball pitching in front of the stumps.
- JP Duminy (South Africa) requires 23 to go clear of Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan (1,889) into 8th in the list of all-time leading T20I run-scorers.
- Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka) is only three wickets away from becoming the all-time leader in T20I cricket; Shahid Afridi currently tops that leaderboard having amassed 98 scalps.
