Italy’s chase began disastrously when Jofra Archer struck twice early, reducing Italy to 38/3 in the powerplay. That early damage forced Italy into recovery mode.
The Manenti–Stewart partnership nearly flipped the match. Their aggressive intent against spin and pace brought Italy’s win probability back into contention.
Turning Point
Sam Curran’s death-overs spell.
Curran removed Stewart and two tailenders, ending Italy’s hopes within minutes.
