George Linde has taken 38.5% of the wickets for South Africa in the ongoing men’s T20I series against Pakistan, the highest such share by any bowler from both sides; in fact, he has picked up a wicket in each of his last eight innings in the format, including his best bowling figures (4/21) in the format in the first match of this series.
Shaheen Shah Afridi has taken 36 wickets in men’s T20Is played in 2024, the most by any Pakistan bowler in a calendar year in the format and four away from making it the most by any full-member side bowler in a single calendar year (Ireland’s Josh Little – 39 in 2022); however, he has failed to pick up a wicket in three of his last five innings in the format.
David Miller (2,550 runs) is 35 away from surpassing Quinton de Kock (2,584 runs) to become South Africa’s leading run scorer in men’s T20Is; Miller scored 82 runs in his most recent innings in the format (vs Pakistan on 10 December 2024) but has never logged back-to-back 50+ scores in the format.
Pakistan’s Babar Azam (39 50+ scores) is one away from becoming the batter with the outright most 50+ scores in men’s T20Is (also Virat Kohli); in fact, he has logged six 50+ scores in the format in 2024, the most by any full-member side batter.
Pakistan have dropped 31 catches in men’s T20Is played in 2024, the second most of all teams in the format in this period after India (38) and seven more than South Africa (24).
South Africa bowlers have induced a leave rate of 3.9% in men’s T20Is played in 2024, the highest of all full-member sides and almost two percentage points more than Pakistan (2.2%).
Pakistan have lost three of their last four men’s T20Is when batting first on the day (W1), including losses in each of the last two; the last time the Shaheens went on a longer such losing streak was a stretch of three games between October 2023 and January 2024.
South Africa have won just one of their last six men’s T20Is played at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg (L5), including losses in each of their last three at the venue; in fact, if the Proteas lose this game, it will be their outright longest losing streak in the format at this venue.
Pakistan have lost six of their last 10 completed men’s T20Is (W4), including losses in each of their last three; the last time the Shaheens went on a longer such losing streak was a stretch of six games between October 2023 and January 2024.
South Africa have won each of their last two men’s T20Is against Pakistan, after losing three on the bounce prior to that; the last time the Proteas went on a longer winning streak against the Shaheens in the format was a stretch of three games in November 2013, with the third win of that run (20 November 2013) coming at The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.
