Scotland National Cricket Team vs Italy National Cricket Team Live Score Updates: The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 continues today, Monday, 9 February, as Scotland face tournament debutants Italy in a critical Group C fixture. Following a defeat to the West Indies in their opening game, Scotland are under pressure to secure a win at the historic Eden Gardens to keep their Super 8 qualification hopes alive. Scotland vs Italy Live Streaming Online and Free Telecast, T20 World Cup 2026 Match 7.

Italy, led by Wayne Madsen, are making their maiden appearance in a major ICC World Cup event. The 'Azzurri' arrive with a squad bolstered by high-profile talent and are looking to cause an early upset in the tournament.

SCO vs ITA Key Players to Watch

George Munsey: The explosive opener is key to Scotland’s Powerplay success. His ability to manipulate the field at Eden Gardens will be vital.

Mark Watt: Known for his clever variations and "24-yard" deliveries, Watt will lead the spin attack on a pitch that historically assists slow bowlers as the day progresses.

Wayne Madsen: The veteran captain brings a wealth of professional experience to the Italian side.

JJ Smuts: A former South African international, Smuts provides Italy with a robust all-round option, capable of anchoring the innings and providing tight spin overs. ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Points Table With Net Run-Rate (NRR).

The Eden Gardens surface is traditionally a batter's paradise with a lightning-fast outfield. However, for an 11:00 AM start, the morning sun is expected to dry out any residual moisture, potentially offering assistance to spinners like Mark Watt and JJ Smuts during the middle overs.

With England and the West Indies also in Group C, this match is effectively a "must-win" for both associate nations. A loss today for Scotland would leave them with zero points from two games, making their path to the Super 8s almost impossible. For Italy, a debut win would signal their arrival as a serious competitive force in global T20 cricket.
