Italy, now a stronger side than in previous years, has standout players like Joe Burns, Emilio Gay, the Manenti Brothers, Harry, and Ben. They started the tournament impressively, beating Guernsey by 7 wickets, followed by an abandoned game against Jersey where they shared points.

Currently sitting at the top with 3 points, Italy will look to build on their start, and one more win could pave the way for a spot in next year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

In reply, their bowlers excelled, restricting the Dutch to 142 for 7. Chris Greaves was outstanding with 3 wickets, while Brandon McMullen (2), Brad Currie (1), and Safyaan Sharif (1) shared the other wickets. A key highlight was their excellent death-over bowling, where they conceded 46 runs in the final 5 overs.
