Head to Head
Basically, when we look at the head-to-head record between England and India, England has been a superior team. In the total of 136 matches between them, England has won 51 of those, and India has managed to win only 35. Eventually, fifty matches have ended in a draw. When we look at the last series between them, which was played in India in 2024, India trashed England by 4-1.
Who will win the Trophy?
At this moment, it is surely hard to predict who will win the series. England surely are the favourites to win. India, having a young side led by Shubman Gill, has a point to prove. One thing which might hold them back is the lack of experience in Batting. The home conditions will also favour the English bowlers as always, and batting can be an issue for the Indian batters.
