England completed a 4-0 T20I series win over India, registering yet another clinical win by 56 runs in Southampton on Saturday (July 11). Here's a stats round-up from the fifth and final match of the series at The Rose Bowl:
England's record win
4 This is the first instance of India losing four matches in a series or tournament in the history of T20Is. The previous most was three each in T20 World Cups 2009 and 2010 and the bilateral series in the Caribbean in 2023, incidentally their last series defeat until the start of this UK tour.
India winless in a white ball series (Min: 5 matches)
4Shreyas Iyer is the fourth captain from a Full Member team to remain winless after seven matches in charge in T20Is after Brendan Taylor, Elton Chigumbura, and Thisara Perera. However, he has won tosses in each of these games making him only the second captain after Gregory Taylor of Bahamas to win tosses in each of the first seven T20Is in charge.
257/3 by England is the highest total against India in T20 Internationals surpassing their effort of 246/7 at the Wankhede in the semifinal of the T20 World Cup earlier this year. This highest total for England after 304/2 against South Africa in Manchester in 2025 and 267/3 against West Indies in Tarouba in 2023.
17 sixes conceded by India today is the second most by them in a T20 International, only behind the 21 they conceded against West Indies in Lauderhill in 2016.
