- South Africa registered the highest successful run chase in men’s T20Is after completing the target of 259 put up by the West Indies in the last game of the series; indeed, the 517 runs scored in this game is the first instance of a T20I game aggregating 500+ runs.
- By winning the second T20I by six wickets, South Africa now have a chance to record their first bilateral home series win against the West Indies in men’s T20I format; the other two such series played in the nation have either been a draw (in 2007) or have been won by the Caribbean team (in 2015).
- This will be the fourth men’s T20I between South Africa and the West Indies at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg; the visitors won the most recent such game here in January 2015 while the hosts won each of the prior two.
- South Africa have won 11 men’s T20I matches against the West Indies, only against England (12) have the Proteas won more games in the format.
- South Africa scored 102 runs inside the powerplay against West Indies in the two sides’ previous game on Sunday, with that score being the highest score registered by a full-member side during this phase of the game in men’s T20Is.
- West Indies hit 22 boundary sixes in their previous men’s T20I against South Africa, equaling the most sixes registered by any team in a single men’s T20I innings (also Afghanistan v Ireland in 2019); both the sides collectively struck 35 sixes in the game, a record in a men’s T20I game.
- Including their last game against the West Indies, South Africa have chased down a 200+ total four times in men’s T20Is, tied for the most by any team in the format (also India).
- En-route to his maiden T20I ton on Sunday, Quinton de Kock scored the fastest 50 by a South Africa batter (15 balls) and became only the fourth wicket-keeper batter to hit a century in all three men's formats of the game (also Brendon McCullum, Jos Buttler and Mohammad Rizwan).
- Johnson Charles smashed his maiden T20I ton off mere 39 deliveries thus becoming the fastest West Indies batter to record 100 runs in a T20I innings; overall, only David Miller, Rohit Sharma and Sudesh Wickramasekara have scored a faster hundred in the format – all in 35 balls.
- 92% of the runs that Rilee Rossouw (South Africa) has scored in the ongoing T20I series have come in boundaries, the best such rate for any batter to have faced 10 deliveries.
