England's Cricketers Survive Italy Scare to Reach World Cup Super 8 Stage
Will Jacks scored the fastest T20 World Cup fifty for England as they posted their highest tournament total of 202-7 to clinch a 24-run win over Italy.
- On Monday in Kolkata, England beat Italy by 24 runs to reach the Super Eights after posting 202-7, their highest total, powered by Will Jacks' 53 off 22 balls.
- With the top order wobbling, England recovered from a precarious 105-5 as Jacks took command to rebuild the innings, aided by Curran.
- Italy responded after a poor start by rebuilding from 22-3 with a 92-run stand between Ben Manenti and Justin Mosca, but despite Grant Stewart's 45 off 23, they were all out for 178.
- Italy, already eliminated, will finish with a dead rubber against West Indies on Thursday, and Harry Brook said, "We haven't played our best cricket, but at the end of the day, we've made it through and we're heading to Sri Lanka, so we can be happy about that," said England captain Harry Brook.
- England's Group C record shows that they finished with three wins and one loss, while tournament organisers and observers noted associate nations like Italy are pressuring established sides.
