- This will be the first ever international game between England and Oman; England have lost eight of the last 11 times they completed a men’s T20I game against an opponent for the first time (W3), losing their last such game against Ireland by five runs in the 2022 Men’s T20 World Cup.
- England have lost five of their last seven completed men’s T20Is in the Caribbean (W2), with both the wins coming against the West Indies; this will be their first ever men’s T20I game at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua.
- Oman have lost each of their last four games in the men’s T20I format (including losses via Super Over); only once have they lost more consecutive games in the format – a stretch of five games between January 2017 and February 2019.
- England are winless in their four prior men’s T20I matches against associate nations (L2 NR2); the list includes two losses against the Netherlands, and one no result against Ireland (in 2010) and Scotland (in 2024) apiece.
- England batters have registered a strike rate of 171.3 during the powerplay overs in men’s T20Is in 2024, the second highest such rate of any full-member side this year behind only Australia (179.5).
- England have registered a catch success rate of 89.7% in men’s T20Is since the start of 2023, the second highest such rate of any full-member side behind the West Indies (90.1%) in this span; indeed, England have caught 70 of their 78 catches in this span, however, two of their eight drops in this span came in their most recent game against Australia.
- Moeen Ali (49) is one wicket away from becoming the sixth England bowler to take 50 wickets in men’s T20Is; on doing so, he will also become the first England player to have scored 1,000 runs and taken 50 wickets in format, having already accumulated 1,183 runs with the bat.
- Bilal Khan (Oman) has taken at least one wicket in each of his last five men’s T20Is and taken a wicket during the powerplay in each of the three games he has played in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup; he is Oman’s highest wicket taker in men’s T20Is with 109 wickets and the only player from an associate nation with 100+ wickets in the format.
- England’s Phil Salt has a batting strike rate of 169.2 in men’s T20Is since the start of 2023, the second highest such rate for any opening batter from a full-member side to have faced more than 100 balls in this span (Sikandar Raza – 169.4); Salt has registered a strike rate of 160 or higher in five of his last six innings in the format.
- Jos Buttler (England) has registered a batting strong connection rate of higher than 25% in each of his last five men’s T20I innings, as many times as he managed in his 20 prior innings in the format.
