- India have won four of their last five men’s T20Is against South Africa (L1), including the most recent one by a 7-wicket margin (14 December 2025); this will be the first clash between the two sides in the format at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, while the Men in Blue lost their only completed ODI against the Proteas at the venue (by 9 runs on 6 October 2022).
- South Africa have now lost 20 of their 33 completed men’s T20Is against India (W13), their outright most against any opponent in the format; however, if they win this game, it will be their joint-most against any opponent in the format (14 wins vs England).
- India are unbeaten in each of their last eight men’s T20Is at home when batting first on the day (W7 T1), including winning each of the last five on the bounce; the last time the Men in Blue went on a longer winning streak in such games was a stretch of six between March 2021 and February 2022.
- South Africa have lost 11 of their 17 men’s T20Is in 2025 (W6), their joint highest loss tally in the format in a single calendar (also in 2024); in fact, only once before have they won fewer games in the format in a calendar year when playing 10+ matches (P10 W4 L6 in 2014).
- India have a batting dot ball rate of 41.8% during the Powerplay phase in men’s T20Is in 2025, the second best of any side behind England (37.2%) among full-member sides; in fact, only England (181.8) and Australia (162) have a better batting strike rate during this phase of games this year than India (161.7).
- South Africa bowlers have induced a false shot rate of 44.3% in men’s T20Is in 2025, the joint highest by any full-member nation alongside India; in fact, the Proteas’ bowlers have induced a play and miss rate of 14.9% during the same period, the joint highest alongside Afghanistan.
- Abhishek Sharma has made a strong connection on 30.5% of his 423 balls faced in men’s T20Is in 2025, the best such rate by any full-member side batter to have faced 250+ deliveries; in fact, he has scored at a strike rate of more than 150 in five of his last seven innings in the format.
- Dewald Brevis (433 runs) is 67 away from becoming the fourth batter to score 500+ runs for South Africa in men’s T20Is in a single calendar year after Aiden Markram (570 in 2021), Quinton de Kock (524 in 2021) and Reeza Hendricks (569 in 2024); however, his batting average of 12.7 against India is his lowest against any opponent in the format.
- Varun Chakravarthy has picked up 32 wickets in men’s T20Is in 2025, the most by any India spinner in the format in a single calendar year; in fact, he has picked up exactly two wickets in each of the first three matches of the ongoing series and has bowled the most dot balls among both sides (38).
- Reeza Hendricks (19) is one 50+ score away from becoming the first South Africa batter to register 20+ such scores in men’s T20Is; however, only one of his 19 such scores have come against India (70 runs on 18 February 2018).
