- This will be the fourth multi-game bilateral T20I series played out between the Windies and England; England have failed to win any of the previous three (D2 L1).
- Six of the last seven T20I matches between the Windies and England have been won by Windies (L1); including each of the last three encounters, the 2016 World Twenty20 final in India making up one of those fixtures.
- The Windies have been involved in three previous T20Is at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Saint Lucia; tasting defeat in two of them, both of those coming against Australia.
- The Windies have managed to win two of their last three T20I fixtures (L1); they had previously endured a run of five defeats on the bounce immediately beforehand.
- England have recorded only one multi-game bilateral series victory in their last four attempts in T20 cricket; beating South Africa in June 2017 but suffered defeats to India (2017 & 2018) as well as the Proteas (2016) in that time.
- England have claimed victories in back-to-back T20I games played away from home heading into this contest; they had slumped to defeat five times in a row in such matches beforehand.
- The Windies are teetering on their 50th T20I win, they will get there if they claim victory in this game; their opponents (England) are currently sat on 50 wins themselves.
- There has only been one century scored in T20I games between England and the Windies; Chris Gayle (Windies) posting an unbeaten 100 off only 48 balls at the 2016 World Twenty20 tournament in India.
- Three of England's four highest innings scores have been posted by Alex Hales; one of those knocks coming against the Windies in 2012 (99).
- Joe Denly claimed 4/19 in his last T20I outing (v Sri Lanka); the second-best figures ever for England (Bopara - 4/10) and the best he has ever managed to pick up in any T20 game.
