England’etc The India 2025 tour will begin this week with the start of the T20I series. The first match of the five-T20I series will be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Wednesday (January 22).
England and India last played a T20I game against each other last year when they played the semi-final of the T20 World Cup. India completely outclassed England in this game, winning by 68 runs on their way to winning the World Cup.
After this poor World Cup run, England drew the home T20I series with Australia before winning the West Indies series. The Jos Buttler-led side will now be eyeing their first T20I series win over India since 2014 and will also look to clinch the upcoming series.
India, on the other hand, have looked almost unbeatable in T20Is in recent months. They have not lost a T20I series since Suryakumar Yadav led the team after their World Cup win. In the last T20I engagements, India defeated South Africa in their backyard. With both teams now set to face each other in the first T20I, here are their head-to-head records in T20Is.
