- This will be the first ever meeting between South Africa and the United States in international cricket; South Africa have won their first ever men’s T20I game against each of the last 11 opponents they faced for the first time in the format, including the one-run win against Nepal in this World Cup.
- USA have won each of their last five men’s T20I games when batting second on the day, with their last such win coming via Super Over against Pakistan earlier in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
- South Africa just have a 50% win rate in men’s T20Is in the West Indies, winning eight and losing eight of their 16 games in the format in the Caribbean, their second lowest in any country where they’ve played four or more games (Australia – 36.4%); the Proteas lost the recently concluded bilateral series against the West Indies in the Caribbean by a 0-3 margin, however, they have won both their games at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua.
- South Africa are winless in their first game of the second round (Super 8/10/12) in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in each of the last five editions; they lost each of their such games in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2021, while their first such game in 2022 was incomplete due to rain.
- Only Australia (60.6%) and Bangladesh (60.4%) have logged a better batting good connection rate during the Powerplay (overs 0-6) in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup than South Africa (60%); the United States’ (45.4%) good connection rate during this phase is the lowest of all Super 8 sides in the competition this year.
- USA batters have logged a batting average of 33.3 in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the third highest of all teams in the competition after Scotland (44.6) and Australia (34.7).
- Anrich Nortje (47) is three away from becoming the eighth South Africa bowler to reach 50 wickets in men’s T20Is; if he reaches the milestone in his next game (38th*), Nortje will become the fourth fastest bowler from the country to reach the milestone after Imran Tahir (31), Lungi Ngidi (32) and Dale Steyn (35).
- Aaron Jones (USA) has registered a batting strike rate of 160 in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the third highest of any batter to have faced at least 50 balls in the tournament behind Marcus Stoinis (190) and Brandon McMullen (171); Jones has scored 141 from 88 balls so far.
- Ottneil Baartman has bowled at an economy of 4.2 in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the highest such rate of any South Africa bowler in a single campaign in tournament history (min. 5 overs bowled); Baartman has bowled 63 dot balls in the ongoing tournament, the third highest of any bowler.
- Quinton de Kock (458) is 42 away from becoming the third South Africa batter to reach 500 runs in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup after AB de Villiers (717) and JP Duminy (568); De Kock has scored 20 runs or fewer in each of his last seven innings in the competition.
