Ans: Great spot! With last night's tied T20I match in Dubai, IND-SL have played their first match of the current calender year. The two teams have faced one another in int'l formats at least once each year between 1984 and 2025 [42 calender years inclusive, back-to-back].

Here are other opposition pairs who did this over 20 consecutive calender years or more:

27: AUS-NZ [1985-2011]
23: PAK-SL [1982-2004]
20: AUS-IND [2006-2025].

Ans: In T20Is, Dilshan and Sangakkara have done this on 19 Feb and 8 Jun 2009 respectively at Colombo[RPS] and Nottingham.

Buttler[Providence, 27 Jun '24] and Salt[Southampton, 11 Sep '24] have done this as well.

So Litton Das and Jaker Ali[Dubai, 20 & 24 Sept '25] make it the third instance in T20Is.
