T20 World Cup: Debutant Italy etched their name in the history books after they registered an emphatic 10-wicket victory against Nepal in their second match of the T20 World Cup 2026, played at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, becoming only the second associate team after Oman to register a ten-wicket victory in T20 World Cup history.
Italy's right-arm leg-break bowler Crishan Kalugamage picked three crucial wickets as they bowled out Nepal at just 123 runs in 19.3 overs after choosing to bowl, winning the toss. Kalugamage was supported by Ben Manenti, who took two wickets in four overs, while JJ Smuts, Ali Hasan, and Jaspreet Singh also got one wicket each.
Italy then chased the target easily, riding on an unbeaten 124-run opening partnership between Justin and Anthony Mosca to seal victory in just 12.4 overs without losing a wicket. Justin completed his first fifty of the tournament in just 37 balls, and he remained unbeaten at 60. Justin hammered five fours and three sixes during the innings and played at a strike rate of 136.36.
