KOLKATA, India — Italy won the toss and elected to field against high-flying West Indies in its last T20 World Cup game on Thursday. West Indies has already qualified for the Super 8s with three consecutive wins in Group C.
Harry Manenti continues to lead Italy, playing its first-ever major ICC global event, after captain Wayne Madsen was ruled out of the tournament. Italy was beaten by Scotland and England in group games but shocked much-fancied Nepal with a resounding 10-wicket win. West Indies top-order batters have scored aggressively with captain Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer and Sherfane Rutherford all scoring half centuries across the three group games.
