- Pakistan have won just two of their last eight men’s Tests against South Africa (L6), however, both of those wins came in the only two games in Pakistan between the two sides in this span between January and February 2021.
- Pakistan have won three of their last four men’s Test matches at home (L1), as many as they managed in their 14 prior such game in the format (D4 L7).
- South Africa have won each of their last 10 men’s Tests, their longest such run in the format and remained unbeaten in the last 11 games (W10 D1); the last time the Proteas went on a longer such run was a 15-game span between January 2012 and February 2013 (W10 D5).
- South Africa have lost just one of their last eight multigame bilateral men’s Test series against Pakistan (W5 D2), winning the most recent such series between the two sides from December 2024 to January 2025 by a 2-0 margin; however, that lone series loss was the Proteas’ last visit to Pakistan in 2021, ending in a 0-2 defeat.
- Pakistan spinners have induced a batting false shot rate of 26% from opposition batters in men’s Tests in 2025, the highest such rate of any team; South Africa are ranked third on this list (24.5%).
- South Africa’s top order (batters no.1-3) has averaged 67.1 runs per wicket in men’s Tests in 2025, the highest such aggregate of any team this year; in comparison, Pakistan’s top order has averaged only 27.1 runs per wicket this year in the format.
- Mohammed Rizwan has taken 10 catches in men’s Tests in 2025, the outright most by any player in the format to have maintained a 100% catch success rate in the format; Rizwan has averaged four dismissals per Test (catches and stumpings) in 2025, his highest such aggregate in the format in a calendar year.
- Aiden Markram (2993) is seven runs away from becoming the 18th South Africa batter to reach 3000 runs in men’s Tests; Markram averages 48.8 against Pakistan in Tests and scored 108 in his most recent innings in Pakistan in the format.
- Noman Ali (Pakistan) has taken 16 wickets at a strike rate of 21.4 in men’s Tests in 2025, the best such rate of any spinner in the format this calendar (min. 10 overs bowled).
- Ryan Rickelton (South Africa) has logged a batting good connection rate of 79.1% in men’s Tests in 2025, the highest such rate of any player this year (min. 300 balls faced); Rickelton scored 259 runs against Pakistan in the first innings at Cape Town in January this year, which is the second highest score by any Proteas batter against the Shaheens in the format (AB de Villiers – 278* in November 2010).
