Sarfraz's six, and South Africa's chasing woes

9-14 South Africa's win-loss record when they've batted second in ODIs since the beginning of 2013; among the top eight teams, their win-loss ratio of 0.642 is worse than all teams except Pakistan, who have a 10-18 record. When batting first, South Africa have a 24-8 win-loss record, which is easily the best among all teams during this period.

6 Number of dismissals for Sarfraz Ahmed, which equals the ODI record. It's happened 15 times in all one-day internationals, but it was only the second such instance in a World Cup game. The previous one was by Adam Gilchrist against Namibia in 2003.

1 The number of times Pakistan have beaten South Africa in a World Cup game. Before today's match, they had lost all three World Cup games against them. South Africa have thus lost their first World Cup match against both India and Pakistan in this tournament, after beating each team on the three previous instances.

9 The number of wickets for Pakistan's fast bowlers in the South African innings - Mohammad Irfan, Rahat Ali and Wahab Riaz all took three wickets each. It's only the second instance of left-arm fast bowlers taking nine wickets in an innings in an ODI game - the previous occasion was also by Pakistan, and also in this World Cup: against Zimbabwe in Brisbane a week ago, Mohammad Irfan and Wahab Riaz took four each, while Rahat Ali took one.

42 Half-centuries for Misbah-ul-Haq in ODIs, without a single century. The next highest in terms of ODI fifties without a century is 25, by New Zealand's Andrew Jones.

124 AB de Villiers' strike rate in his last 31 ODI innings: he has six hundreds and 10 fifties during this period, and averages 78.41.

1423 Runs in ODIs for de Villiers against Pakistan in 30 innings, at an average of almost 62 and a strike-rate of 91. It's the most runs he has scored against any opposition.

21 The runs scored by Pakistan in the 16th over of their innings, bowled by JP Duminy. It's equals the most runs they've scored in an over in the last five World Cups. They've had two other instances of 21 runs in an over in World Cup games during this period: against England off a Craig White over in 2003, and against Kenya in 2011 off a Jimmy Kamande over.

6 The number of times, in 23 ODIs since the beginning of 2014, that Pakistan reached 100 within the first 20 overs.

350 Sixes for Shahid Afridi, which makes him the first to get to that mark in ODIs. Sanath Jayasuriya is next with 270. (Click here for the list of leading six-hitters in ODIs.)
