T20 WC: 'We Showed The World What We’ve Got,' Says Manenti After Italy's Ten-wicket Win Over Nepal
T20 World Cup: Italy stand-in captain Harry Manenti described his side’s emphatic 10-wicket win over Nepal in their second match of the T20 World Cup 2026 played at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Thursday as pretty extraordinary, saying the team had finally shown the world what it is capable of on the biggest stage.
Italy chased down the 124-run target in just 12.4 overs without losing a wicket, registering their first-ever victory in ICC Men's T20 World Cup history, courtesy of a record unbeaten opening partnership between Justin and Anthony Mosca.
“Yeah, it's pretty extraordinary, really. It's something that a lot of people in Italy, a lot of people in this group, have dreamt of for a long time. When we qualified, that was obviously a special moment, but our goal was always to compete at this level and compete in this top competition, and we showed that today. We didn't quite nail it the other day, but we backed it up today and showed the world what we've got,” stand-in captain Manenti said after the match.
