Match Facts
- Rassie van der Dussen (South Africa) has scored 51 runs facing full toss deliveries in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2022, the joint-most by any player from a Test playing country in that time (also Michael Bracewell – 51 for New Zealand).
- Odean Smith (West Indies) has scored 81% of his 144 runs from boundaries in men’s ODIs since the start of 2022, the best rate of any player from a Test playing country in that time (min. 60 runs scored).
- Shai Hope (West Indies) has a batting average of 49 in men’s ODIs – the best of any player for West Indies in the history of the format (min. 6 innings).
- Quinton de Kock (5,901) is 99 away from becoming the seventh player to score 6,000 runs for South Africa in men’s ODIs; if he achieves the milestone in this innings (138*), he’d be the third fastest player overall to reach it in the history of the format (Hashim Amla – 123 for South Africa and Virat Kohli – 136 for India).
- West Indies have a bowling average of 54.8 during the powerplay in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2022, the highest of any Test playing country in that time and the only team with an average above 50 in this category (Sri Lanka – 43.2).
- South Africa have a batting dot ball percentage of 49% in men’s ODIs since the beginning of 2022, the second-best rate of any Test playing country in that time (Pakistan – 47%); West Indies (59%) are ranked last in this category.
- South Africa have won 14 of their last 15 men’s ODIs at Buffalo Park (L1), including their last 10 matches on the bounce; although, their only defeat in that span was a 43-run loss to West Indies (24 January 1999).
- West Indies have lost seven of their last eight multigame bilateral men’s ODI series (W1), including their last four in succession; their only victory in that span was a 3-0 win against the Netherlands (June 2022).
- South Africa will be aiming for back-to-back wins in multigame bilateral men’s ODI series for the first time since March 2019, following their 2-1 win over England in their most recent such series (February 2023).
- South Africa have won seven of their eight multigame bilateral men’s ODI series against West Indies (L1), including their last seven in succession; indeed, the Proteas’ only loss in such series was their inaugural iteration in the history of the format (3-0 in April 1992).
