T20 World Cup: Fast bowler Shamar Joseph picked four wickets while Matthew Forde took three as West Indies bowled out Italy for 123 in 18 overs while defending 165 to register a 42-run win in their last group stage match of the T20 World Cup 2026 played at Eden Gardens on Thursday, staying unbeaten and marching into the Super 8s in dominant fashion.

Earlier, West Indies skipper Shai Hope continued his great form and played a magnificent knock of 75 runs to take the team to 165/6 in 20 overs against a well-planned Italy bowling attack.

Coming to chase a challenging target, Italy had a poor start as they lost their prime batter Justin Mosca (2 off 5) on the seventh ball of the innings. His brother Anthony Mosca was also dismissed in the next over after scoring 19 runs off 12 balls, which included a four and two sixes.
