- Australia are undefeated in their last six multigame bilateral men’s T20I series against South Africa (W5 D1) including winning their last five series in a row; the only time South Africa have won a series of multiple games against Australia was 2-0 in March 2009.
- Australia have won five of their seven men’s T20Is against South Africa in Australia but were defeated by 21 runs in their most recent such fixture (17 November 2008 at Carrara Oval); in fact, Australia are on a five-game winning run against South Africa overall which is the longest win streak of either team in the history of this fixture.
- South Africa are winless in their last four bilateral men’s T20I series outside South Africa (D1 L3) after winning five of their previous six (D1); their last series win on the road was against Ireland in August 2022 (2-0).
- Marrara Oval in Darwin is set to be the 13th venue in Australia to host a men’s T20I fixture, while Australia have won only three of their last six games when playing at a venue in Australia for the first time.
- South Africa have lost their last two men’s T20Is after losing only one of their previous five games in the format (W4), while their 32% win rate against Australia in the format is their lowest against any opponent.
- Australia have a batting strike rate of 178.9 during the power play in men’s T20Is in 2025, the highest of any full member team, while only Zimbabwe (99.6) have a lower power play strike rate this year than South Africa (118.2); though, Australia’s batting average (26.83) is only slightly higher than South Africa (26.75) in power plays this year.
- Mitchell Marsh has an 88% win rate as captain of Australia in T20Is, the highest of any player to captain the team at least 10 times in the men’s format; in fact, Josh Inglis (100% of 3 games) and David Warner (89%) of 9 games) are the only captains with a better win rate.
- Australia duo Tim David (one every 3.3 balls faced) and Mitchell Owen (one every 5.4 balls faced) have hit a six more frequently than any other batters from full member nations in 2025 to bat at least two innings; in fact, David’s 15 sixes are more than any other Australia or South Africa player this year.
- Cameron Green (Australia) has a T20I batting average of 68.3 in 2025, the second-best of any player from a full member nation (min. 3 innings), having scored 50+ runs in three of his last five innings in the format.
- Dewald Brevis (South Africa) has been dismissed for fewer than 30 runs in only one of his last five T20I innings, scoring 133 runs at an average of 33.3 across that term; however, he was dismissed for 5 and 0 runs in his only two previous innings against Australia in the format.
