Italy vs West Indies prediction

West Indies may have come into this tournament with many not seeing them as contenders to win the competition but victory over England along with two other Group C wins has led to the cricketing world sitting up and taking note of the two-time Men’s ICC T20 World Cup champions. Their latest triumph was the first successful run chase that the Windies have completed following two victories after batting first. They dispatched Nepal by nine wickets and are overwhelming favourites in this final Group C fixture.

Italy can already consider the tournament a success having gained their first ever win in an ICC major tournament fixture, defeating Nepal by a resounding ten-wickets. They can also take real heart from how well they played against England, only losing by 24 runs chasing a daunting 203. Whilst West Indies should also wind up too good for the Italians whilst enjoying the more lucrative powerplay, the only way is up for them.
