Important Facts about Both Team

Australia has not been beaten in a Test at home since November of 2012, which includes an unbeaten streak of 18 matches (14 wins).

South Africa was the last team to win a Test in Australia when they spoilt Ricky Ponting's swansong at the WACA. In fact, South Africa has never lost from three starts at the ground and have won their past two matches there.

South Africa has won their past two series in Australia. Since 1993, Australia has only lost one other series at home - to England in the 2010-11 Ashes.

Steyn needs just six wickets to become South Africa's leading wicket taker in Test matches. He currently has 416 wickets to sit second behind Shaun Pollock.
