West Indies vs Italy Preview

The West Indies have been one of the most clinical sides in Group C, currently sitting top with a superior net run rate. Led by Shai Hope, the squad has found a balance between explosive batting and disciplined bowling, highlighted by Romario Shepherd's recent five-wicket haul. With qualification assured, the management may use this fixture to provide game time to bench players like Matthew Forde and Sherfane Rutherford.

Italy's maiden World Cup appearance has been a journey of highs and lows. After a heavy opening defeat to Scotland, the European side made headlines by thrashing Nepal by 10 wickets. While a subsequent loss to England ended their Super 8 hopes, the match against the West Indies represents a historic first for Italian cricket, as they have never previously faced the Caribbean side in a T20 International.
