The team's presence was pivotal in defining the venue's early statistical profile, with their performances contributing significantly to the aggregate records established during this brief period of international cricket activity.
The first of these encounters took place on 2016-03-26, where England posted the highest team total recorded at the venue, scoring 171/4.

England's second appearance at the OA Shah Stadium occurred later in the same series, contributing to their status as the most frequent visitors. The venue hosted a total of three T20I matches between 2016-03-26 and 2016-03-30, with England participating in two of these fixtures. This frequency of play, although limited in absolute numbers, places England ahead of other teams in terms of match count at this specific location.

While England leads in match count, the venue also saw significant contributions from other teams during the three-match series.
