1 - South Africa's loss to Netherlands in Dharamsala was their first against an Associate team in men's ODIs. Only once had South Africa lost to an Associate side in men's internationals before, also against Netherlands in last year's T20 World Cup at Adelaide Oval.
3 - Netherlands' win in Dharamsala is only their third in 23 matches at the men's ODI World Cup. Their previous wins came against Associate teams - Namibia in 2003 and Scotland in 2007.
105 - Runs added by Netherlands after the fall of the seventh wicket, the second-most by them from that position in a men's ODI. Overall Netherlands' 105 runs are the ninth-most runs added by a team after the fall of the seventh wicket in a men's ODI World Cup game.
11.45 - Netherlands' run rate after the fall of the seventh wicket - from there they scored 105 runs in only 9.1 overs. It is the highest run rate for any team in a men's ODI among sides who have added 100-plus runs in an innings after the fall of the seventh wicket. The previous highest was 11.08 by Hong Kong against UAE in 2015.
3 - Sixes by Aryan Dutt in his unbeaten nine-ball 23, the joint-most while batting at No. 10 or lower in a men's ODI World Cup game. Shoaib Akthar hit three sixes against England in 2003 while batting at No. 11 during a 16-ball 43, while Daren Powell also hit three when batting at No. 10 against South Africa in 2007.
32 - Extras conceded by South Africa in Netherlands' innings. These are the most extras conceded by South Africa in a men's ODI World Cup match, surpassing 29 against UAE in 2015.
8 - Runs added by South Africa between the fall of their first and fourth wickets, the fewest for them in a men's ODI World Cup game. The previous lowest was 13 against Australia in that 1999 semi-final at Edgbaston. Today's eight runs are also the fifth-lowest for South Africa between the fall of the first and fourth wickets in all men's ODI.
0.5 - South Africa's win-loss ratio while batting second in ODIs since 2021 - they have won five and lost ten. It is the third lowest among the 20 teams to have batted second ten or more times since 2021, behind only Papua New Guinea (0.2) and Netherlands (0.33).
