This match marks the first T20I series between India and England since 2022, and also their first clash in 2025. Over 20 encounters between the two teams have taken place, with both having similar strength and records. In the 2022/23 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, England defeated India in the Semi-Final, but by June 2024, India turned the tables and defeated England in the Semi-Final to win the title. Both teams have the ability to beat each other, but India might carry the momentum from last year’s victory into their first encounter of 2025 and secure the win.
