England’s The 2025 tour of India will kick off this week with the start of the T20I series. The first match of the five-match T20I series will be played on Wednesday (January 22) at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
The last time England and India met was in the T20 World Cup semi-finals last year. India completely defeated England in that match and won the World Cup by 68 runs.
After a dismal performance in the World Cup, England drew the home T20I series with Australia before winning the series in the West Indies. The Jos Buttler-led side will now look to win the upcoming series and hope to win a T20I series against India for the first time since 2014.
India, on the other hand, have looked almost invincible in T20Is in recent months. They have not lost a T20I series since Suryakumar Yadav took charge of the team after their World Cup victory. In their last T20I assignment, India defeated South Africa in their backyard. Now both the teams will face off in the first T20I and here is their T20I head to head record.
