England vs Italy Highlights, T20 World Cup 2026: England beat Italy by 24 runs to qualify for Super 8s

Adil Rashid to Marcus Campopiano, Slows it up, full and on middle and off, Marcus Campopiano goes down for the sweep but misses and gets hit on the pads. A slight appeal for LBW, but turned down.

How often do we see a wicket fall in the over right after the break? Quite often, to be honest and the Italians have lost another set batter. Marcus Campopiano walks out to bat now, at number 7.

Adil Rashid to Justin Mosca, OUT! TAKEN! Italy are just losing their way now. Adil Rashid bravely flights this up, full and on middle. Justin Mosca goes down on one knee to slog it down the ground but fails to get fully underneath it. He does not get the elevation and the ball flies straight down the throat of Tom Banton at long on, who makes no mistake. Both the set batters are gone now. 68 needed in 33 balls.

DRINKS! Just 6 overs left now and Italy are still hanging in the game. With 75 needed off 36 balls, England will feel they are ahead in the game but we have seen what one good stand can do. England need a couple of more wickets to really break the back of this chase. Italy will rely on Justin Mosca to anchor the innings and hope that the likes of Grant Stewart and those to follow can get the big hits away. Also, Adil Rashid (2-0-14-0) is back on as England look to put the squeeze on.
