EnglandQ India's 2025 tour will begin this week with the start of the T20I series. The first match of the five-a-side T20I series will be played on Wednesday (January 22) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
England and India last played a T20I against each other last year when they played the semi-final of the T20 World Cup. India completely outplayed England in that match, winning it by 68 runs on their way to winning the World Cup.
After that dismal World Cup run, England tied the T20I series at home against Australia before winning the series in the West Indies. The Jos Buttler-led team will now look to win the upcoming series as well as they are eyeing their first T20I series win over 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 winning the World Cup. In their last T20I stint, India beat South Africa in their own backyard. With both teams now set to face each other in the first T20I, here's their head-to-head record in T20Is.
