- South Africa have only managed to register two T20I series wins in their last nine attempts on home soil (2+ game series – W2 D2 L5); victory here in this game will secure a series victory however.
- South Africa have played 11 matches across all formats at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom, only losing on one occasion (W9 T1); this includes two comfortable ODI victories over Zimbabwe.
- Zimbabwe have suffered nine T20I defeats in a row; they had claimed victory in five of their six outings immediately beforehand (L1).

- Imran Tahir became South Africa’s all-time leading wicket-taker as a result of his career-best figures last time out (5/23); he’s averaging just 12.2 in South Africa, the best rate of anyone to take 20+ wickets on home soil.
- Hamilton Masakadza needs just five to reach 1,500 T20I runs for Zimbabwe; he’ll become the first man to get to the milestone for his country, no other batsman for Zimbabwe has scored more than 817 runs in the format.
- David Miller registered his first and only T20I hundred at this venue in South Africa’s sole T20I fixture at Senwes Park; scoring an unbeaten 101 off only 36 balls (v Bangladesh, October 2017).
