Match Preview

England arrives at this fixture having recently found some rhythm with a five-wicket win over Scotland, though they remain wary after a narrow escape against Nepal and a loss to the West Indies. Their batting lineup, featuring explosive names like Phil Salt and Jos Buttler, has yet to fully fire in tandem, a trend they hope to correct on Kolkata’s true surface.

Italy, on the other hand, has become the tournament’s feel-good story. The Mosca brothers, Justin and Anthony, have proven to be a formidable opening pair, while their bowling attack, led by the disciplined Crishan Kalugamage, showed it can dismantle opponents under pressure.
