Covers 120 matches between England and West Indies from Apr 2004 to Feb 2026 (Tests, ODIs and T20Is with ball-by-ball records).
Is the England vs West Indies head to head as lopsided as the overall count suggests? England are 66 wins to 41 ahead after 120 England vs West Indies games played from Apr 2004 to Feb 2026, yet the shortest format tells a different story: T20Is are tied at 19 wins apiece.
England’s lead is built on Tests and ODIs. Ten Tests were drawn and three matches ended with no result. Further down sit the timeline of results, the leading England and West Indies players in each format, the biggest totals and the grounds where the teams meet most often.
England vs West Indies stats: who leads in each format
In Tests, England have won 18 of 35 to West Indies’ 7, with 10 draws. The Jul 2024 series went 3 to 0 to England, finishing with a 10-wicket win at Edgbaston on 26 Jul 2024. The Caribbean has still produced West Indies’ best days: their 381-run win at Bridgetown on 23 Jan 2019 is the largest Test win by runs alone between the sides here, though England’s innings and 283 runs at Headingley in May 2007 heads the biggest-wins list.
The ODI record is 29 to 15 for England, with 2 no results. A home sweep in May and Jun 2025 gave England the 3 most recent ODIs, including a 238-run thrashing at Edgbaston on 29 May 2025, their biggest ODI win in this match-up.
The T20I series is dead level at 19 each from 39 games. The latest one went to West Indies, a 30-run West Indies win in Mumbai, at the Wankhede Stadium, on 11 Feb 2026.
