Kagiso Rabada’s (South Africa) spell of 0 for 70 in the last game was the third-most expensive by a bowler from a full-member nation in men’s T20Is behind Liam McCarthy’s 0 for 81 against West Indies in June 2025 and Kasun Rajitha’s 0 for 75 against Australia in October 2019; if he ends up wicketless in this game as well, this will be his first such streak after nine games.
Jofra Archer (England) has picked up six wickets when bowling in Powerplays in 2025, only Jason Holder (9), Jacob Duffy (9) and Shoriful Islam (7) have picked up more dismissals in this phase of the game than Archer among bowlers from full-member countries.
Dewald Brevis (South Africa) has a batting strike-rate of 197.7 in men’s T20Is since 2025; of all the batters from full-member sides to have faced atleast 100 balls in this period, only Abhishek Sharma (216.1) and Tim David (210.4) have a higher such rate than the Proteas batter.
Phil Salt’s unbeaten 141 against South Africa in the previous match marked his fourth century in men’s T20Is — the most by any England batter; across all teams, only Glenn Maxwell and Rohit Sharma have scored more hundreds in the format – five each.
England bowlers have a strike-rate of 16.2 in men’s T20Is when bowling in Powerplays since the beginning of 2025, only New Zealand (15.6) have a better such rate among all full-member sides when bowling in the same phase of the game (min. five games played).
England have struck a boundary once every 4.7 balls in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2025, only Australia (4.3) and India (4.4) have hit boundaries more often among full-member teams during the same period.
South Africa have won 14 men’s T20I games against England, their most against a single opponent in this format; indeed, only against West Indies (18) and India (17) have the Three Lions lost more games in the format than the Proteas.
This will be only the second men’s T20I between England and South Africa at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, with the previous meeting coming in the Super 8 stage of the 2009 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup where the Proteas won by seven wickets; England have alternated between a loss and a win in the five games played between the two sides with three losses and two wins; meanwhile, the Proteas will be playing at the venue for the first time since June 2009 winning twice at the venue and losing the most recent one.
England have claimed just one win in their last four men’s T20Is against South Africa on home soil, with that victory coming in the most recent clash — a 146-run triumph; the previous occasion when the Three Lions secured back-to-back home wins over the Proteas in this format was a two-match run between June 2017 and July 2022.
England have won one of their last five men’s T20Is against South Africa with the sole win coming in the most recent encounter played the two sides that the Three Lions won by 146 runs; the last time the Three Lions recorded successive wins over the Proteas in this format was during a five-match streak between February and December 2020
