**Kolkata, India** – India and England are set to lock horns in a five-match T20I series starting January 22nd, 2025. The series opener will take place at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata, a venue that last hosted a T20I in 2022 when India defeated the West Indies.
The upcoming series holds historical significance.

Overall, India leads the head-to-head in T20I series, winning 4 out of 8, with England winning 3 and one ending in a draw. However, India has won 5 of their last 7 T20Is against England, suggesting a potential advantage.
Statistical analysis of Eden Gardens reveals that while teams batting first have won 5 out of 12 T20Is, chasing teams have been victorious on 7 occasions. The highest score at the venue remains Pakistan’s 201 against Bangladesh in 2016, a record yet to be broken. India’s highest score at Eden Gardens is 186, achieved against the West Indies. These statistics offer valuable insights for both teams as they prepare for the series.
