Scotland vs Italy Preview Match 7

Scotland head into the match under mounting pressure following a difficult start to their campaign, having gone down heavily to West Indies in their previous game. 

While they showed flashes of resistance, a batting collapse under pressure proved costly, and the side will be eager to bounce back quickly. Veterans like Richie Berrington and George Munsey will carry extra responsibility as Scotland look to steady the ship and keep their tournament hopes alive.

Italy, on the other hand, will treat this contest as a prime chance to announce itself on the big stage. Playing with minimal pressure and a fearless mindset, they will look to capitalise on Scotland’s shaken confidence and push for a memorable result.
