- Sri Lanka have won their last three Test matches against South Africa and will be searching for a fourth successive win against them for the first time.
- South Africa have won their last seven Test series on home soil, losing just two Test matches in that time there before this series began; they have not been defeated in a series on home soil since January 2016 (v England).
- Sri Lanka have never won a Test match series on South African soil and will be chasing their first Test series win outside of Asia since October 2016 (2-0 v Zimbabwe).
- South Africa are undefeated in their last six Tests at St George's Park, Port Elizabeth (W5, D1), having not lost a Test here since December 2007; they defeated Sri Lanka by 206 runs in their only previous Test match here in 2016.
- South Africa have passed 350 runs in four of their last six first innings in Test matches at St George's Park in Port Elizabeth and have lost all 10 wickets in an innings just three times in their last nine Test innings at the venue.
- Hashim Amla (South Africa) needs just four more runs to surpass Graeme Smith (9,253) for second-most Test runs scored for South Africa; only Jacques Kallis (13,206) sits above them.
- Suranga Lakmal's best Test match innings figures against South Africa came at St George's Park in December 2016 (5/63), knocking over the three South African batsmen at the top of the order (Cook, Elgar and Amla).
- Since the start of 2016, only Upul Tharanga (49.2) has a higher Test batting average away from home than Kusal Pereara (40.9) amongst Sri Lankan batsmen to have played more than two Tests outside Sri Lanka.
- Kusal Perera comes into this game having registered his highest ever Test score (153*) in Kingsmead; it was also the second-highest fourth innings score recorded for Sri Lanka in Test cricket.
- Dean Elgar (South Africa) averages 64.1 runs at St George's Park, his best Test average for any venue in the world where he has played more than one Test match.
