WI vs ITA T20 World Cup 2026 Weather Report: West Indies will lock horns with Italy during their last group stage of the ongoing mega event at the Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata on Thursday. They had qualified for the Super 8 stage by performing consistently and beating teams like Scotland, Italy, and Nepal.

The former champions returned to world cricket by playing exciting cricket as they had thrashed Scotland at the same venue, and then went on to win two matches at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. They have now returned to the Eden Gardens for their match against Italy, who too have played some brilliant cricket in their debut T20 World Cup.

Italy might have won just one match against Nepal, but they also gave a hard time to a formidable side like England and proved that they, too, can perform consistently if given enough chances.
