Head to head T20 record of India and England.
New Delhi. Team India, which came on the backfoot after facing two consecutive defeats against Ireland, is now ready for a new and bigger test. Under the leadership of new captain Shreyas Iyer, the Indian cricket team is going to start the high-voltage T20 series against England from July 1. Even though the defeat at the hands of Ireland may have shaken Team India’s morale a bit, but history is witness to the fact that whenever there is a match against the British, a different form of ‘Men in Blue’ is seen. Beating England at home has always been a difficult challenge, but the head-to-head figures are doubling the thrill of this battle. Let’s take a look at the head to head record of both the teams…
Competition started from 2007 World Cup
The journey of T20 International between India and England started with the first T20 World Cup in 2007. In this match played at Kingsmead ground in Durban, the command of Team India was in the hands of MS Dhoni. At the same time, England was being led by Paul Collingwood. This was a historic match which no cricket lover can ever forget. Yuvraj Singh made a world record in this match by hitting 6 consecutive sixes in one over of Stuart Broad. India had scored a huge score of 218/4 in this match and in the end registered a resounding victory by 18 runs.
Team India’s dominance in head-to-head record
Since that historic match of 2007, both the teams have come face to face in T20 International matches a total of 30 times. In this, India has 18 wins, while England has 12 wins. In recent records, the Indian team has had the upper hand. India has won 6 of its last 7 T20 matches against the British. This also includes the thrilling victory in the semi-finals of the recently concluded 2026 T20 World Cup, where India defeated England by just 7 runs.
Who has the upper hand on English soil?
If we talk about India’s record on English soil, the competition here has always been tough. Host England has won 5 matches against India on its soil, while it has faced defeat in 4 matches. So far, 4 bilateral T20 series have been played between the two teams in England, in which both the teams are tied at 2-2. The good thing is that Team India has defeated the host team in both its previous bilateral T20 series played in England (years 2018 and 2022). In such a situation, Team India under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer will go to win the third T20 series in England.
