🏏ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026:M17: Italy vs Nepal , Wankhede🏏 - Page 3

Ben Manenti, 2 for 9 from his 4 overs, has his say at the break: "Very pleased. We know Nepal are a high quality batting line-up, we saw it the other night.

"To keep them to 124, it was a high quality performance. It was taking a little bit of spin. It's always nice bowling on a used wicket. We just split it up between me and the other two spinners to ensure they didn't get into any rhythm."

On lessons learned ahead of their pursuit of 124: "The batters that showed good intent, that had themselves in good positions, put us under the pump."

Alan will be with you shortly for the resumption

Forza azzurri!🤩

First time I heard that there is an Italian Cricket team.

Congratulations to Italy for winning the match without losing a wicket in the 13th over. What a confidence boost?

Maiden World Cup win for Italy🥳🥳🥳

Congratulations to Italy for their grand entry with a great win!

Italy can chant with us their favorite phrase for the next match as well.

Come on (men in) Blue! This match ended so fast. We have to wait a bit for the next match.

Cheers..

A dream that they will find it hard to come out. But this is reality and this is here and now. The Mosca brothers didn't leave a chance to Nepal with their aggressive batting. Yes, the target was not high but they absolutely demolished that in 12.4 overs. Whatever Nepal tried didn't work. Such hard hitting and the sixes flew off the bat from the Mosca brothers. Nepal were riding high from their performance against England which they ideally should've won. But they have been brought crashing down to earth today, on a day when they were favorites to win. Lots of blue in the Wankhede stands with the Italian supporters lapping it all up. By winning so convincingly, Italy boost their NRR heftily. And they are still in with a chance to reach the next round

A red-letter day for the men from Italy. One they will never forget. Famous for their football team they have now come up trumps in cricket and achieved a win at the T20 World Cup.
