- This is set to be the first men’s T20I between England and Scotland; England have won their last four matches in the format against ICC Associate Member teams, while Scotland have lost their last six games against ICC Full Member teams.
- England have alternated between wins and losses across their last six ICC Men’s T20 World Cup matches (W3 L3), losing their most recent game (11 February 2026 vs West Indies); they will be looking to avoid consecutive defeats in the tournament for the first time since November 2021.
- Scotland will be aiming for consecutive wins at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup for the third time (W4 from March 2016 to October 2021 & W2 in June 2024), following their 73-run victory against Italy last time out.
- England defeated India by six wickets in their inaugural men’s T20I at Eden Gardens in Kolkata (29 October 2011); although, they’ve lost each of their two matches at the venue in the format since then (22 January 2025 vs India and 3 April 2016 vs West Indies).
- Scotland (13/13) have a 100% catch success rate at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the highest of any team in Group C, while England (77%, 10/13) have the lowest catch success rate of any team in the group; in fact, Scotland have held on to each of their last 20 catch attempts across their last five men’s T20I matches overall.
- England have conceded 2.51 runs per scoring shot when they’ve bowled at this ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, more than any other team in Group C; their bowling economy rate (9.40) is the second highest of any team in Group C (Nepal – 9.43).
- Phil Salt (England) has hit a boundary once every 2.7 balls faced at this ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the most frequent of any player in Group C (min. 10 balls faced), while he has scored 30+ runs in three of his last five T20I innings in Asia.
- Brandon McMullen (7) is one away from surpassing Calum MacLeod (7) for the outright third most 50+ scores for Scotland in men’s T20Is (George Munsey – 16, Richie Berrington – 11); he’s scored 40+ in three of his last four innings at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup (61*, 60, 14, 41*).
- Sam Curran (England) has induced a false shot on 25 of his balls bowled at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, more than any other player in Group C; he’s taken exactly one wicket in each of his last three bowling innings in the tournament.
- Michael Leask (Scotland) has taken 14 wickets at a strike rate of 10.7 across his last eight T20I bowling innings, including 4-17 against Italy last time out – his career-best figures in the format and the best of any player for Scotland in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history.
