SENSATIONAL IN DUBAI!
Italy beat Ireland in a warm-up match and write a new page of history, with a stunning late over and three SIXES in a row!
First-ever win against a Test nation!

and after  we got the scalp of  in a World Cup warm-up match played in  Dubai 

 

once again, it was a late surge with the bats, finishing with a 6 by Zain Ali at the very last ball (when we needed a 4 to tie and a 5 to win the match) 

 

final score:  165/7 (20 overs),  167/7 (20 overs);  win by 3 wickets

poir Madsen had a very unlucky debut at the CWC

he seriously injured himself (dislocated shoulder and possible concussion) in an attempt to save a boundary in the very early stages of Today' match vs Scotland

 

moreover, Italy lost badly against the Scots, allowing them to score 207 runs in the 1st innings (it took 14 overs to get the 1st wicket) and going well short chasing that score (we immediately saw that today wasn't the day when our lead batsman went out at the very 1st ball thanks to an amazing but improbable catch by a Scottish fielder)

 

in all this, a couple of highlights to be recorded: Hasan Ali with a very efficient bowling performance (5.25 economy, 1 wicket) and Harry Manenti with good 52 runs in just over 30 balls with the bat

Do you have live coverage of the matches? Does  media know that your national team is participating in a cricket WC?

regular media (except for Sky Italia, which is our broadcaster) don't even know that Cricket exists

 

and some rightist (racist) politicians are even trying to forbid cricket practice because it's a sport played only by Asian immigrants 😱🤦🤬
