Another one-sided clash? So morning match goes to Sri Lanka. One sided. Afternoon clash goes to Italy. Historical but one sided. What will the final match of the day yield? It is the host nation India taking on Namibia in Delhi, in the second match for both sides. The contest is scheduled to start at 1.30 pm GMT but our buildup has already begun. Do head over to that matchcentre and have all the fun! ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

Waka Waka aye aye! Let's take a look at the points table, folks. Italy are above England in the table as of now and nope, it isn't football. Let that sink in! Of course, they still have England and West Indies to play but life is all about being in the present, right? Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today, is a gift. That's why it is called as present. The lanes and pubs in Italy would be partying the whole night and they should be! How many bartenders would provide free beers to the public (of course for a limited duration) in celebration of their maiden World Cup win? Celebrate till you can, but recover quickly. Because Italy next meet England on Monday, 16th February, 2026 in an afternoon game (9.30 am GMT) at the Eden Gardens. As far as Nepal are concerned, it is almost the end of the road for them. But they need to maintain their self belief and come back stronger against West Indies, whom they meet in their next clash, on Sunday, 15th February, 2026, in a morning match (5.30 am GMT), again at the Wankhede. Less than 6 months ago, they had defeated the same West Indian side 2-1 in a bilateral series. They need to believe that they can win 3 games in 4 meetings.

The Mosca boys were brilliant - The victorious skipper of Italy, HARRY MANENTI, says that it feels great to win this game. Adds that when they qualified, that was a special moment but goes on to say that they gave their best in this match, showing the world the quality they possess. He adds that the boys were good, and the last few days have been good here in India. Manenti further mentions that the squad spends quality time together and it is important to stay together. He also says that the bowlers bowled really well and managed to take wickets till the end. Lauds the spinners and gives a shout out to some names like JJ Smuts and Crishan Kalugamage, and eventually, the two Mosca brothers for their brilliance with the bat. On being asked about the batting of the two Mosca brothers, Harry says that it feels good to watch them dominate with the bat. Ends by saying that England will be a tough game and so will be West Indies, but hopes that his side finds a way to beat both.

We didn't respect the conditions - The captain of Nepal, ROHIT PAUDEL, honestly admits that Italy outplayed his side. Details that while batting, Nepal missed out. Adds that it was not a 123 all out wicket and his batters messed it up. Rohit goes onto say that it was tough to bat early on but stresses that the team was looking at somewhere around 160-170, and batted very poorly. On being asked to delve further, Paudel bluntly says that Nepal did not respect the conditions. Explains that his batters played a few rash shots and his wicket was the turning point. Adds that Nepal played well in the Powerplay but suddenly things started to change after he got out. On the turnaround factor, both from the high against England, to the low in this match, Paudel says that to lift his team from the England game was not much challenging. Explains that as a team, the players are used to that. But as far as this game was concerned, Rohit says that they are professionals and not turning up for the game was disappointing. Sportingly says that he is not taking any credit from Italy, who played beautifully in this match and that full credit must go to them.

Player of the Match - It won't be a Mosca brother who gets the Player-Of-The-Match award. It is a Sri Lankan born who tosses up pizzas for an earning but tossed Nepal out of this match - CRISHAN KALUGAMAGE - for his wonderful bowling figures of 4-0-18-3. Kalugamage says that he is happy with the win, always wanted to help the team earn victory, and gave his best. He adds that he has worked hard with his coaching staff, and thanks his teammates and the coaching staff for trusting him. He finally speaks in Italian language and motivates his other friends to come and play for Italy.

... THE PRESENTATION ...

The massive collapse - Earlier in the day, Nepal strode out to the middle brimming full of confidence after giving a scare to England around 4 days ago. They were going okay at 93/3 in the 14th over but lost their way totally, losing 7/30 in 35 balls. The Sydney Sixers might be wondering why can't Benjamin Manenti bowl the way he did in this game, in the Big Bash. 4-0-9-2! Benjamin Manenti's opening spell set the tone while Lankan born Crishan Kalugamage ran through the middle order with 3 scalps. But the collapse was more due to poor shot selection, rather than brilliant bowling. Please stay tuned for the presentation...

Tough pill to swallow - Till September 2025, Nepal had never suffered a 10-wicket defeat in T20Is. And now, in a span of say 5-and-some months, they have been dealt with a couple. First, West Indies in Sharjah and here, by Italy, at the Wankhede. Some felt that with this being an afternoon game, the pitch will slow down and assist the spinners but the Nepalese bowlers simply could not get their lines and lengths correct. Not a single bowler could settle or was allowed to settle and pretty quickly, their shoulders started to drop.

Taking the bull by the horns - Well, the Wankhede turned up primarily in blue, with massive support for Nepal but is showing its love for cricket by applauding Italy as well. Such a dominant performance definitely deserves an applause. If Nepal had to win, early wickets were the key, for which, the Powerplay was the lock. Italy took hold of that phase and locked the Powerplay, by hammering 68 runs without losing a wicket. That 6-over phase had 6 fours and 5 sixes - total destruction. In fact, let's do an analogy, shall we? In WWE, there are two legends - Kane and Undertaker - called as the Brothers Of Destruction. Guess the Mosca brothers can be called the same, aye? They set the tone in the Powerplay and did not allow Nepal to come back at all. The Mosca brothers finished with 9 sixes and 8 fours between them, registering the third highest opening stand of this season. They are doing a victory parade around the ground now, along with their other team mates, thanking their loyal supporters in the crowd.

'Oh brother, where art thou? Right in the middle of the Wankhede, partying out.' Nice line by Michael Atherton to sum things up. The Mosca brothers are roaring out their celebrations in the middle, having demolished Nepal. A 124-run unbroken stand in just 76 balls. Elder brother Anthony makes 62, while the younger one Justin makes 60. Almost like backyard cricket - I won't allow you to go too far ahead of me, will always keep a watch over you. It is also Italy's maiden 10-wicket win in T20Is! What a stage to get that.

MAIDEN WIN FOR ITALY IN MEN'S T20 WORLD CUPS! That too, a 10-wicket win. Yorker, around off, Anthony digs it out towards cover. Should have been a dot ball, but it is a misfield as the fielder dives over the ball and it goes through! ITALY WIN BY 10 WICKETS AND 44 BALLS TO SPARE!

Kushal Bhurtel To Justin Mosca

Yes, we will need another over at least. A full toss, on middle, perhaps Justin Mosca is surprised because he actually shows mercy on the ball. Works it through mid-wicket for just one run. 11 from the over, 25 in the last 2!

Right then. 3 runs needed. Will we need the 13th over?

11.5

10.5

Sandeep Lamichhane To Anthony Mosca

SIX! Fifty up for Anthony Mosca now! The elder one shows the younger one on how to get to a milestone in style. What a spectacle this has been from the Mosca brothers. Flatter, on middle and leg, Anthony Mosca gets low and slogs it effortlessly over the deep mid-wicket fence. Takes his helmet off and shows his name to the crowd. The Wankhede is absolutely loving it! The 100-RUN STAND is up as well!

10.4

Sandeep Lamichhane To Justin Mosca

37-BALL 50 FOR JUSTIN MOSCA! The Italian dugout is up as one, with all smiles. The younger brother gets to the milestone first and gets a pat on the head by his elder brother. Gets there with a gentle push through the covers for a single.

Slight hesitation but Anthony Mosca is safe. Short, on off, Anthony Mosca taps it to point and sets off for a single.

FOUR! Brute power. Short, around off, angling away, Justin Mosca does what his brother did a couple of balls ago. Picks the length in a trice and rocks back. Does not swivel though but executes the pull. Keeps it all along the ground and the ball travels like a rocket to the mid-wicket fence! The stand moves to 92 (54)!

8.5

Nandan Yadav To Anthony Mosca

Slower ball, on a length, outside off, Anthony waits for it and dabs it towards deep third for a single.

8.4

Nandan Yadav To Anthony Mosca

SIX! TAKE THAT! All the flights from Mumbai are heading towards Italy for the time being. Just a fraction short, around off, Anthony Mosca swivels, picks the length in a trice and pulls it magnificently over backward square leg! The ball flies over the stands and Anthony moves to 43 (22). Italy need 37 more from 68 balls.

8.3

Nandan Yadav To Justin Mosca

Oh! If it would have been a direct hit, Justin Mosca was a goner. On a length, on off, Justin Mosca looks to pull it but gets a bottom edge. They go for a single. The ball rolls to the left of the keeper. He picks up and has a shy at the bowler's end but misses by a long way.

8.2

Nandan Yadav To Justin Mosca

Back of a length, outside off, and it bounces extra. Justin Mosca swings hard but misses.

8.1

Nandan Yadav To Justin Mosca

Slightly shorter, outside off, slower too. Justin Mosca eases it to the fielder at cover.

7.5

Sandeep Lamichhane To Anthony Mosca

Slower through the air, shorter in length, around middle, Anthony goes back and nudges it through mid on for a single.

7.4

Sandeep Lamichhane To Anthony Mosca

FOUR! Anthony should consider renaming himself as Thor. That ain't a willow in his hands. It is a hammer. Full, around middle, Anthony Mosca gets down and sweeps it powerfully through square leg, bisecting deep square leg and deep mid-wicket! 46 more needed from 74 balls.

7.3

Sandeep Lamichhane To Anthony Mosca

Short, on middle and leg, Anthony Mosca moves to his left and punches it but finds the cover fielder. Dot.

7.2

Sandeep Lamichhane To Anthony Mosca

Beaten! Quicker, outside off, with some turn. Anthony Mosca gets low and looks to sweep it but misses.

6.5

Dipendra Singh Airee To Anthony Mosca

Outside off, punched through point for one.

6.4

Dipendra Singh Airee To Justin Mosca

Short, around middle, heaved through square leg for a run.

6.3

Dipendra Singh Airee To Anthony Mosca

Quicker again, on middle, Anthony Mosca tucks it to wide of mid on for another single.

6.2

Dipendra Singh Airee To Justin Mosca

Fired in, targeting the stumps. Justin Mosca covers his line and turns it to backward square leg for a run.

6.1

Dipendra Singh Airee To Justin Mosca

Flatter, shorter, and on off. Justin Mosca stays back and punches it to cover.

DRINKS BREAK. In just 6 overs, this contest seems done and dusted. Nepal have looked short of options and Italy have just not allowed them to settle. Attack has been the mantra from the team in blue and seems like they have taken a cue from how the home team in the IPL plays over here in blue. Italy are just a few minutes away from creating World Cup hisory. Pasta la Vista, Nepal?

Stumped? No, says the onfield umpire himself. Tossed up, outside off, Anthony swings hard but misses. The ball goes off the keeper's pads and hits the stumps. There is an appeal for a stumping but the square leg umpire is confident and does not take it upstairs. End of the Powerplay and Italy are 68/0!

5.5

Sandeep Lamichhane To Anthony Mosca

FOUR! Innovative batting. Landed around off, Anthony gets down and across and looks to sweep. Is not too comfortable but somehow manages to get it through fine leg for a boundary! 56 more needed from 85 balls.

5.4

Sandeep Lamichhane To Anthony Mosca

SIX! SPANKED! Sandeep is travelling too. Tossed up, around off and middle, Anthony Mosca gives himself a bit of room to the leg side and swings it cleanly over long off! 5th six of the chase, 3rd for Anthony!

5.3

Sandeep Lamichhane To Anthony Mosca

Three dots now. Short again, on off, Anthony Mosca punches it to the fielder at cover again.

5.2

Sandeep Lamichhane To Anthony Mosca

Short, on middle, Anthony Mosca makes room and taps it to the fielder at cover.

5.1

Sandeep Lamichhane To Anthony Mosca

Quicker, fuller, and down leg. Anthony Mosca gets down on one knee and tries to slog it but misses. The ball hits his pads and rolls towards the fielder at cover. Dot.

Final over of the Powerplay. Italy have almost got to the halfway mark. The Nepalese shoulders have already started to drop. And finally, with water flowing above the roof, Sandeep Lamichhane has been given the ball. Too little too late?

3.5

Lalit Rajbanshi To Justin Mosca

Outside off, JM looks to push it through the off side but the ball holds on the deck a touch. Goes off the inside edge past the stumps towards short fine leg. A run taken. Justin Mosca moves to 30 (16).

3.4

Lalit Rajbanshi To Justin Mosca

SIX! SMOKED! The field was changed and it gets exploited beautifully. Fine leg was brought up before this ball so Justin Mosca got well across and waited for the ball. Got it short so swivelled further and pulled it well over short fine leg, clearing the ropes as well! The stand moves to 43 (22).

3.3

Lalit Rajbanshi To Justin Mosca

FOUR! Brilliant use of the feet from Justin Mosca! Flatter, on middle, Justin Mosca takes a step forward and heaves it over mid-wicket for a boundary. Runs are flowing here for Italy.

3.2

Lalit Rajbanshi To Anthony Mosca

Flatter, down the leg side, Anthony Mosca shuffles across and looks to play at it but the ball hits his pads and rolls towards short third. They cross for a leg bye.

3.1

Lalit Rajbanshi To Anthony Mosca

Half a stop again. Short, outside off, Anthony Mosca cuts it to point. The fielder dives to his left and makes a half stop. The ball rolls in the deep as the batters collect two runs.

Lalit Rajbanshi to bowl now. He bowls left-arm spin.

FOUR MORE! JUST WIDE! Pretty close to being caught but the ball races and so are Italy. The opening stand has moved to 30 (17). Full and wide outside off, Justin reaches out and drives it uppishly through the covers. Kushal Bhurtel dives to his right but the ball breezes past him into the ropes behind.

2.4

Karan KC To Justin Mosca

FOUR! Nicely played. On a length, around off, angling away, Justin Mosca waits for the ball to arrive and deftly guides it to the left of short third for a boundary. 98 more needed from 104 balls.

2.3

Karan KC To Justin Mosca

Oh, that just goes over the stumps! Back of a length on middle, and slower too. Justin Mosca tries to play at it but gets beaten on the inside edge as the ball comes back in and goes just over the top of middle stump! Karan KC has his hands on his head in disbelief.

2.2

Karan KC To Justin Mosca

SIX! BOOM! On a length and just outside off, Justin Mosca picks up the length early and clatters it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

2.1

Karan KC To Justin Mosca

Very full, outside off, Justin Mosca drives it but finds the fielder at mid off.

Time for more spin? Not yet. Bizarre from Nepal. They need to use their best bowlers while defending a low total. If Italy get a semi-decent Powerplay, this game would be gone from Nepal's grasp.

Another misfield. Outside off, Justin Mosca steers it through point where the fielder fumbles and concedes the single.

Too full, outside off, Justin Mosca taps it to the fielder at cover.

1.2

Dipendra Singh Airee To Anthony Mosca

1.1

Dipendra Singh Airee To Justin Mosca

Three runs. Flatter, outside off, Justin Mosca cuts it through short third. The fielder dives to his left and makes a half stop. The other fielder has a long chase to do as the batters collect three runs. Fielding was a bit let down against England on Sunday and it has to be at 100 percent if they have to win this one.

'Nepal will win easily', says my colleague, showing extreme faith and confidence in their bowling attack. Pulling up some numbers, only twice has a total below 123 been successfully defended at the Wankhede in all forms of T20s. Would be a cracker if this turns out to be the third. Dipendra Singh Airee will share the new ball.
