      Mark Watt to Thomas Draca

      W

      out, OUT! TAKEN! It's been a catching practise session lately for Scotland. Floats a fuller delivery on middle, Draca slog-sweeps on the shorter side but doesn't power it much. Hits it straight to Brandon McMullen at deep mid-wicket, who takes a dolly. It's falling apart rather quickly for Italy.

      14.4

      Michael Leask to Gian-piero Meade

      W

      out, OUT! TAKEN! A four-fer for Michael Leask. Tossed up, fuller and on leg stump. Gian-Piero Meade clears the front leg to go big but doesn't quite get to the pitch of the delivery. Ends up chipping it down to Brandon McMullen at long on, who gobbles up an easy catch. Meade departs for a two-ball duck and Scotland are effectively two wickets away from the win.

      14.1

      Michael Leask to Grant Stewart

      W

      out, OUT! CAUGHT! Things are falling apart rather quickly here for the Italians as George Munsey hangs on to his fourth catch of the game. Michael Leask uses that angle from around the wicket really well again. This is bowled a bit shorter and angled across off. Grant Stewart rocks back to hit it down the ground but lofts it down to long off where Munsey takes a simple catch. Leask has his third wicket as well.

      3 wickets for Michael Leask. Michael Leask is on a roll.

      DRINKS BREAK! Benjamin Manenti's wicket has settled the game in Scotland's favour. It's a stiff chase from hereon with the Italians a batter short as well. This chase will definitely test the batting depth of the debutants. Can Italy find motivation from somewhere, or will Scotland run through the line-up now? Gian-Piero Meade joins Grant Stewart in the middle. 

      13.6

      Oliver Davidson to Benjamin Manenti

      W

      out, OUT! CAUGHT! Oliver Davidson has the last laugh and this might be the wicket that settles it for Scotland. Tossed-up delivery, full and around off. Benjamin Manenti hangs deep in the crease and plays the lofted drive over extra cover. There's not much elevation or power on it and Michael Jones takes a fine catch moving to his left from long off. Oliver Davidson gives a send-off to Manenti as well. Ben departs after making a fine 52 off just 31 balls but Italy are now 5 down for 129.

      5 wickets down for Italy. Out batsman is Benjamin Manenti

      13.5

      Oliver Davidson to Benjamin Manenti

      Oliver Davidson to Benjamin Manenti

      6

      SIX, SIX! Stand and deliver! Benjamin Manenti is the first Italian batter to score a FIFTY in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. This is bowled well short over middle, Manenti hangs back and dismissively swats it over long on for a biggie. A maiden T20I half-century for him as well.

      50 runs for Benjamin Manenti

      13.3

      FOUR, FOUR! Wow, what a shot! Floated up, full and outside off, Benjamin Manenti leans back and smokes it flat over the cover region and the ball canters to the fence.

      Michael Leask to Benjamin Manenti

      1

      Michael Leask to Harry Manenti

      W

      out, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man in the deep and that looked like a lazy shot from Harry Manenti. Michael Leask comes around the wicket and angles it across the off stump on a good length. Manenti stays leg side of the ball and lifts it high up but down the throat of the fielder at long off. George Munsey gobbles up his third catch of the game and the 73-run stand between the Manenti brothers is finally broken. Harry departs for 37 (25) and Italy are 113/4.

      Michael Leask (2-0-13-1) is back on.

      11.6

      Mark Watt to Benjamin Manenti

      4

      DRINKS BREAK! A fast and furious first 6 overs in the chase and although Italy are going at 9 runs an over, they have lost 3 big wickets. Scotland won't mind the runs as long as the wickets keep coming and that is one risk they are willing to take, it seems. A lot rests on the shoulders of the Manenti brothers for Italy as their skipper Wayne Madsen won't take further part in this game. The middle phase, which is generally the consolidation phase, is going to be crucial. Let's see how the game shapes up.

      W

      out, OUT! CAUGHT! Taken first ball! George Munsey can do no wrong today and that's an ominous start for Italy with the bat. Michael Leask starts around the wicket and drops a loosener wide outside off. It is short and wide, begging to be put away. Justin Mosca rocks back and slices it to the right of backward point where Munsey puts in a horizontal dive and snaffles it with both hands. A golden duck for one of the Mosca brothers and Leask is delighted.
