- Pakistan have won each of their last two multigame bilateral men’s ODI series against South Africa (3-0 in December 2024 and 2-1 in April 2021); it’s the first time they’ve won consecutive series against them in the history of the format.
- Pakistan have lost each of their last two multigame bilateral men’s ODI series, as many as they lost across their 13 such series prior (W11 L2); the last time they recorded a longer losing run in such series was a span of three from January to May in 2019.
- South Africa have won each of their last two multigame bilateral men’s ODI series (2-1 vs England in September 2025 and 2-1 vs Australia in August 2025); the last time the Proteas recorded a longer winning run in such series was a span of five from August 2018 to March 2019.
- Pakistan have won their last five men’s ODIs at Iqbal Stadium, bowling first on the day in each of their last four wins in that span – their longest winning run at the venue in the history of the format.
- South Africa have made five stumpings when fielding in men’s ODIs in 2025, more than any other Test playing country this year; in addition, the Proteas have made a run out in the field in each of their last three innings after doing so only once in their nine innings prior in the format.
- Pakistan have a batting strike rate of 69.5 during the powerplay in men’s ODIs in 2025, the second lowest of any Test playing country this year (Ireland – 69); they’ve hit a boundary once every 10.1 balls faced during this period – one of only two Test playing countries to average 10+ (Afghanistan 11.3).
- Quinton de Kock (21) is one away from surpassing Herschelle Gibbs (21) for the outright third most hundreds for South Africa in men’s ODIs (Hashim Amla – 27, AB de Villiers – 25); he’s scored 594 runs at an average of 59.4 in his last 10 ODI innings in Asia.
- Babar Azam (19) is one away from equaling Saeed Anwar (20) for the most hundreds for Pakistan in men’s ODIs; he’s scored 50+ in four of his last six ODI innings against South Africa.
- Matthew Breetzke has scored 29.3% of South Africa’s runs when he’s played in men’s ODIs in 2025, the second-best rate of any player (min. 5 innings) for a Test playing country this year (Ibrahim Zadran – 29.4% for Afghanistan).
- Salman Ali Agha (Pakistan) recorded a batting good connection rate of 75.3% from 93 balls faced in Pakistan’s most recent multigame bilateral men’s ODI series (August 2025 vs West Indies), the best of any player from either team (min. 2 balls faced) in the campaign; his ODI career batting average against South Africa (99) is the third best of any player (min. 4 innings) in the history of the men’s format (Sanju Samson – 119 for India and Azmatullah Omarzai – 114 for Afghanistan).
