Unlike the evening matches in Mumbai, this afternoon start means the "dew factor" will be non-existent. The Wankhede pitch traditionally offers true bounce, which should suit Nepal's aggressive top order, particularly Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh.
Italy faces a significant challenge following a shoulder injury to captain Wayne Madsen during their opening match. Harry Manenti is expected to lead the side in his absence. Italy will rely heavily on the Manenti brothers and the pace of Ali Hasan to unsettle a Nepal side that nearly chased down 185 against England at this same venue just days ago.
