What is England's record at Eden Gardens in T20Is?

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 is currently underway, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8. England are among the favourites in the marquee event but have had a topsy-turvy start to their campaign. Led by Harry Brook, they will rely on the experience and firepower of Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Jofra Archer, and Sam Curran.

England have lifted the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup trophy twice, in 2010 and 2022, and enter the tenth edition with a golden opportunity to create history. With 20 teams competing, they will be aiming for an unprecedented third title.
