Nepal Vs Italy, ICC T20 World Cup 2026: Justin And Anthony Mosca Lead Italians To Dominant 10-Wicket Win
Italy stunned Nepal with a clinical 10-wicket victory. After winning the toss, Italy’s bowlers dominated, bowling Nepal out for a meagre 123. Crishan Kalugamage was the star with 3/18, while Benjamin Manenti provided exceptional control with figures of 2/9. The chase was a total Azzurri masterclass. Openers Anthony Mosca (62)* and Justin Mosca (60)* dismantled the Nepalese attack, reaching the target in just 12.4 overs. This maiden T20 World Cup win keeps Italy’s campaign alive while leaving Nepal’s playoff hopes in serious jeopardy. The Nepalese unit looked absolutely lifeless right from the start of this match and were nowhere near the level they showcased against England a couple of days ago in the same venue.
