Italy Innings

12.4 Airee to Anthony Mosca, 1 run

Fired in outside off, tickled into the covers... but it's a misfield and The Mosca Brothers have won it for Italy! A truly outstanding display from the Italians, capped off by an undefeated opening stand between Anthony and Justin Mosca! The emotion is bursting out of AJ, who screams down the house, before turning to the camera and kisses the Italian badge. Justin rocks the cradle with his bat "for the baby back home". This has been an utter shellacking. Nepal are shocked, Italy are beaming!

Crishan Kalugamage | Player of the Match: Thank you so much to all the crowd and all my teammates and I'm really happy about the win and I always, always, always want to help to the team to win the match and do my best for my nation, Italy. So I'm happy. I worked hard with my coaching staff also and I'm really happy with my line and length and took three wickets. So a massive moment for me after a lot of sacrifices. Thank my family and all the Italians. They look in the match and all my teammates always. This is my brothers and the coaching staff. So I'm really happy. (Then has words in Italian for the fans).

100-plus opening stand by associate team in T20 WCs

131* - Aqib Ilyas & Jatinder Singh (OMA) vs PNG, 2021

126 - Michael Jones & George Munsey (SCO) vs ITA, 2026

10-wicket win for an associate team in T20 WCs

Oman vs PNG, Al Amerat, 2021

ITA vs NEP, Wankhede, 2026*

This is the first 10-wicket win for Italy and the second 10-wicket defeat for Nepal (after vs WI in 2025) in T20Is.

44 balls remaining is the third-most in a successful 120-plus chase in T20 WCs, after 55 for West Indies vs USA (Tar: 129, Bridgetown, 2024) and 50 for England vs Australia (Tar: 126, Dubai, 2021).

Italy have moved to third, knocking England down to fourth in Group C. Very Euro 2020 vibes.

Italy the underdog in this game. Didnt expected that they would win

Congrats
