Ali Hasan to Matthew Forde. Length ball, middle stump deep in crease driving, in the air under control to deep extra cover for 2 runs, fielded by Mosca. The West Indies have wrapped up their first innings, setting a target of 166 for Italy. It was a shaky start as they lost two big wickets inside the powerplay, but skipper Shai Hope anchored the innings with a superb captain's knock of 75 off 46 balls. Roston Chase and Sherfane Rutherford contributed 24 runs each, while Rovman Powell and Jason Holder fell at crucial moments trying to accelerate. Late impetus came from Matthew Forde, who struck three boundaries in the 19th over to lift the total. For Italy, Crishan Kalugamage and Ben Manenti claimed two wickets each, while Ali Hasan finished strongly in his final over. Can Italy secure their second win, or will West Indies make early inroads in the chase? Stay tuned.
