Transcript
00:00Scotland were put into bat by Italy in their T20 World Cup clash at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
00:11Opener George Munzi gave his side a solid start.
00:17Munzi and Michael Jones put on 126 for the first wicket in 13.5 overs.
00:22The left-handed Munzi was the aggressor and went on to top score with 84.
00:35And Jones chipped in with 37.
00:44By the time both openers were dismissed, it was 136 for 2.
00:52Oh, Jones thought he got all of it, but Manetti held on.
00:56Brandon McMullen was also among the runs with an unbeaten 41 of 18 balls.
01:01With that straight bat down the ground.
01:03And again, over extra cover this time, even sweeter.
01:07And Michael Leisk made a rapid 22 notch out of five deliveries as Scotland closed on a daunting 207 for 4.
01:14When the Italians responded, they lost the wicket of the very first ball.
01:19And first ball and a fantastic catch.
01:22They were in further trouble at 40 for 3.
01:27Harry Manetti and brother Ben Manetti had to rebuild the innings.
01:35Their partnership was worth 73 runs.
01:41Harry Manetti was caught in a deeper 37.
01:44Ball is for catch.
01:46Fielder settles.
01:48But the elder sibling Ben went on to get a half century.
01:51He made 52.
01:52Ben Manetti is the first Italian batter to get 50 at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
02:01When he was out, it became 129 for 5.
02:04Now Manetti, this time he's missed out.
02:07Make that 129 for 6 with Italy in dire straits.
02:11It was also George Munzi's fourth catch of the match.
02:14Anything down, make that 4 for Munzi.
02:16Michael Liske was the pick of the bowlers with 4 wickets.
02:21There's the call again.
02:22It's not Munzi.
02:24In the end, Italy capitulated for 134 in 16.4 overs.
02:29That gave Scotland victory by 73 runs.
02:31Safely taken again.
02:32It's the skipper this time.
02:34We know it now.
02:35Only teams export.
