The opening match in Dubai proved far more competitive than many anticipated. Italy, batting first, were bowled out for 118 in 18.1 overs, with Ireland’s Mark Adair and Barry McCarthy proving effective on the dry surface. However, Ireland’s chase was fraught with tension as they slumped to 119/7, eventually crossing the finish line with just three balls to spare.

Italy’s bowling unit, led by Thomas Draca and Grant Stewart, demonstrated that they have the firepower to challenge Full Member nations. Having qualified for the 2026 World Cup by finishing in the top two of the Europe Regional Final, the "Azzurri" are using this series to test their tactical depth against high-calibre opposition.

Team News and Key Matchups

Ireland is expected to field an unchanged XI as they look to wrap up the series. Captain Paul Stirling will be eager to find his rhythm at the top of the order after a quiet first outing. The middle order, featuring Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker, remains the engine room for the Irish side, while Josh Little’s pace will be vital in the powerplay.

Italy continues to rely on the experience of Wayne Madsen and the all-round capabilities of JJ Smuts. Their ability to handle Ireland's seam attack under the afternoon sun will be the deciding factor. A win for Italy tomorrow would mark their first-ever victory over Ireland in a T20 International, setting up a winner-takes-all finale on Monday.
