- India have won six of their last seven men’s T20Is against England including their last three in a row; a fourth consecutive win would equal the longest winning streak of either team in the history of this fixture.
- This will be the first meeting between England and India in a men’s T20I in England since July 2022; England won their most recent meeting on home turf against India by 17 runs after losing three in a row previously.
- England have won three of their last four men’s T20Is against India at Riverside Ground, including their last two in a row; though, this will be their first encounter with India at the venue in the format.
- England are unbeaten across their last five bilateral men’s T20I series on home turf (W2 D3) and haven’t lost such a series since July 2022 (1-2 vs South Africa); though, they’ve lost at least one match in seven of their last eight home series.
- India lost 0-2 to Ireland in their last bilateral men’s T20I series, snapping a nine-game winning streak in the format; the last time they lost consecutive series was in February 2019.
- India have dropped seven catches across their last three men’s T20Is after dropping only four across their previous four matches; in fact, among full member nations only New Zealand (28) have dropped more catches in 2026 than India (27).
- India have scored 67% of their total runs in men’s T20Is in 2026 from boundaries, the highest rate of any full member nation this year.
- Harry Brook (England) has scored 818 runs in internationals in 2026, the most of any men’s player; he’s scored 50+ runs in three of his last five innings across all formats but has been dismissed for single figures in three of his last four T20I innings against India.
- Jos Buttler (England) has scored 669 runs in men’s T20Is between England and India, the most of any player from either side, but hasn’t scored 30+ runs in any of his last four innings against India in the format.
- Axar Patel (99) is one away from becoming the fourth player to take 100 wickets for India in men’s T20Is; he’s taken at least one wicket in each of his last six innings against England but has never taken a wicket in England – the only country he’s played in where he’s not taken any.
