- South Africa have won five of their last eight Test matches against Sri Lanka (D1, L2) but have lost their last two against Sri Lanka, these matches taking place in Galle and Colombo.
- South Africa have never defeated Sri Lanka at Kingsmead, Durban (D1, L1); losing their last encounter to the tourists here by 208 runs in 2011.
- South Africa have won just one of their last eight Test matches at Kingsmead (D1, L6); their win rate of 12.5% at this venue since 2009 is the lowest they've recorded at any ground in South Africa during that period, the next lowest figure is 50% at the Wanderers Stadium.
- Sri Lanka have not won a Test match since beating South Africa on home soil in July last year; since then they have fallen to six defeats and one draw.
- Sri Lanka have never won a Test match series on South African soil, having only beaten the hosts in one Test match there (December 2011).
- Sri Lanka have failed to score 300+ runs in their last 10 Test innings away from home; posting less than 150 in three of their last four.
- Hasim Amla (South Africa) needs just 23 more runs to surpass Graeme Smith (9,253) for second-most Test runs scored by a South African; only Jacques Kallis (13,206) sits above them.
- Against no opposition has Sri Lanka's Suranga Lakmal claimed more Test wickets than the 19 he's taken against South Africa; his Test bowling average of 30.2 against the Proteas is his second-best against any nation in Test cricket.
- Dimuth Karunaratne (Sri Lanka) is just 12 runs shy of his 4,000th in Test cricket, he would become the 11th player to reach the milestone for Sri Lanka; this will be his first Test match as captain.
- Keshav Maharaj (South Africa) claimed career best figures of 9/129 in his last Test match against Sri Lanka; these were the second-best Test innings figures by a South African in Test cricket.
