- South Africa are undefeated in all their 10 men’s Tests against Zimbabwe (W9 D1); they are one of two teams the Proteas have faced without losing in the history of the format (W14 D2 v Bangladesh).
- Zimbabwe have won only one of their last 14 men’s Tests (D2 L11) – a three-wicket victory against Bangladesh in April 2025; they have lost each of their three matches in the format since then, including two defeats in that span by an innings margin.
- South Africa are undefeated in their last 10 men’s Tests (W9 D1) and have won their last nine in succession; a 10th consecutive victory in this match would be the Proteas’ outright longest winning run in the history of the format (also W9 from March 2002 to May 2003).
- Zimbabwe have won only one of their last 21 men’s Tests at home (D4 L16) – a 24-run victory against Pakistan in September 2013; they are winless in their 18 such fixtures since then (D4 L14).
- South Africa have scored 670+ runs in three of their last five men’s Tests, as many times as they logged across their 53 matches in the format prior to that span; the Proteas scored 787 runs against Zimbabwe last time out, their most in a Test away from home since recording 794 runs against Australia at the WACA Ground in December 2012.
- Zimbabwe have scored 33% of their runs from singles facing spin bowling in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2024, the lowest rate of any team in that time; indeed, only West Indies (1.94 runs per scoring shot) have averaged more runs per scoring shot facing spin during this period than Zimbabwe (1.93 runs per scoring shot).
- South Africa duo Lhuan-dre Pretorius (49% of 166 balls faced) and Dewald Brevis (52% of 50 balls faced) have the best batting dot ball rates of any players in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2024.
- Zimbabwe (Takudzwanashe Kaitano – 6/6 and Joylord Gumbie – 6/6) are the only team in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2024 with multiple players that have made more than five catches and maintained a 100% catch success rate (Beau Webster – 10/10 for Australia, Jaker Ali – 9/9 for Bangladesh, Afsar Zazai – 8/8 for Afghanistan).
- Kyle Verreynne (South Africa) has made seven stumpings in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2024, the joint-second most of any player (also Litton Das – 7 for Bangladesh) behind only Alex Carey (8 for Australia); Verreynne recorded at least one stumping in each of his two innings against Zimbabwe last time out (3 in total), the first time he’s logged stumpings in consecutive innings in his Test career.
- Sean Williams (6) is one away from surpassing Brendan Taylor (6) and Grant Flower (6) for the outright second most centuries for Zimbabwe in men’s Tests (Andy Flower – 12); he’s scored 1,171 runs at an average of 73.2 across his last 19 Test innings.
