T20 WC: Italy Restrict Windies To 165/6 Despite Hope's 75
Skipper Shai Hope: Skipper Shai Hope continued his great form with a knock of 75 runs, powering West Indies to 165/6 against a well-planned Italy bowling attack in the final Group C match of the T20 World Cup 2026 played at Eden Gardens on Thursday.
Coming in to bat after losing the toss, the two-time champions, West Indies, were dealt an early blow as opener Brendon King, who has been struggling for runs in the tournament, was dismissed on just the seventh ball of the innings. King scored just 4 runs off six balls.
His opening partner Hope did not let Italy build on the momentum after the early blow, as he smashed four boundaries and a six in the next two overs. Shimron Hetmyer could not follow suit, as he was dismissed cheaply for one, as the West Indies were 48/2 at the end of the powerplay.
