- These two nations have met 11 times previously in T20 Internationals; England currently have a slight edge, winning six of them whilst India have claimed five victories in that time.
- India have put together successive T20I victories over England; a win in this game will mark their best ever such run against them.
- England have faced India on home soil three times before in T20I cricket; winning on every occasion, including a six-wicket victory at Old Trafford in August 2011.
- England have been involved in four completed T20I matches at Old Trafford, winning three of them although they did taste defeat in their most recent outing there (v Pakistan, 2016).
- England have claimed victory in back-to-back matches in this format, the first time they have done so since enjoying a four-game run during the World Twenty20 in March 2016.
- India come into this opening game versus England having beaten Ireland 2-0; the second match of their two-game series saw India record their highest ever margin of victory in terms of runs (143), it was the third-highest in the history of the format.
- Virat Kohli requires just eight runs to become only the fourth man ever to reach 2,000 in T20I cricket (Martin Guptill, Brendon McCullum & Shoaib Malik); Kohli has been out for 1, 0 and 9 across his last three innings however.
- Eoin Morgan has skippered England in 30 T20I matches (currently level with Paul Collingwood); he is set to become the man to captain England most often in T20I cricket in this match with India.
- Chris Jordan (37) needs three wickets to take Jade Dernbach's (39) spot as England's third-highest wicket-taker in T20I cricket (behind Graeme Swann 51 and Stuart Broad 65); he managed to claim three in last outing versus Australia.
- Yuzvendra Chahal has recorded 38 wickets in T20I cricket since the start of 2017; six more than anybody else in that time, he's claimed three scalps in each of his last three appearances.
