- India have won seven of their last nine men’s T20Is against South Africa (L2), including a seven-wicket win in their most recent completed encounter; however, no team has defeated India more times in the format than South Africa (13).
- This will be the first men’s T20I meeting between India and South Africa at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, while the hosts have won five of their seven fixtures overall in the format at the venue.
- India have won six of their last seven men’s T20Is when batting second on the day (L1), choosing to bat second nine of the last 10 times they’ve won the toss in the format; though, they’ve won only two of their last four games when they’ve batted first on the day (T1 L1).
- South Africa have lost four of their last five men’s T20Is and are unsuccessful in each of their last four run chases in the format; indeed, they’ve lost 11 games in the format in 2025 which is their joint-most in a calendar year alongside their 11 defeats in 2024.
- South Africa have won nine of their 18 completed men’s T20Is in India, making it one of just three countries (min. 10 games played) in which they haven’t won more than they’ve lost - W12 L12 in the West Indies and W5 L9 in Australia; indeed, they’ve won only two of their last eight games in India.
- India have scored 50+ runs during the power play in three of their last four men’s T20Is, including 68 runs in their last match, after reaching this mark just once over their previous five innings in the format.
- South Africa have dropped just one single catch from 17 chances across three games during this ongoing men’s T20I series against India and haven’t dropped more than a single catch in any of their last seven games in the format.
- Abhishek Sharma (India) has not scored a half century or better in any of his last six T20I innings, despite reaching 20+ runs four times in that frame; a seven-inning stretch from July to November in 2024 is the only time that he’s gone longer without a 50+ score in the format.
- Shivam Dube (India) is set to play his 50th T20I; he’s taken five wickets across his last five innings in the format after taking just two wickets across his previous four innings, while his bowling economy of 7.3 against South Africa is his best against any team (min. 2 innings).
- Quinton De Kock (South Africa) has made a good connection of 65% of his 51 balls faced in this current men’s T20I series between India and South Africa, the highest of any player; this is set to be his 100th appearance in the format, while his career batting average of 40.2 against India is his highest against any team (min. 2 innings).
