England’s The India 2025 tour will begin this week with the start of the T20I series. The first match of the five-part T20I series will take place on Wednesday (January 22) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
England and India last faced each other in a T20I last year when they played in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup. India completely dominated England in this match, winning it by 68 runs before going on to win the World Cup.
After this dismal run in the World Cup, England drew the T20I series at home against Australia before winning the series in the West Indies. The Jos Buttler-led side will now look to win the upcoming series and are eyeing their first T20I series win against India since 2014.
India, on the other hand, have looked almost unbeatable in T20Is in recent months. They have not lost a T20I series since Suryakumar Yadav took charge of the team after the World Cup triumph. In their last T20I mission, India beat South Africa in their backyard. With both teams now set to face each other in the first T20I, here is their head-to-head record in the T20Is.
