WI 76-2 (10 ovs) vs Italy | SCORECARD

More spin as leggie Crishan Kalugamage comes into the attack. The West Indies have slowed down against Italy's spinners with boundaries drying up.

Kalugamage continues to build the pressure as he gives away just five singles in the ninth over.

In the next over bowled by Smuts, Chase looks to break the shackles. He comes down and has a big swing but only manages to mistime the ball down to long-off for one.

Chase manages to release the pressure as he lofts the last ball from Smuts over the covers for a four -- the first boundary after 22 balls.

West Indies are 76/2 in 10 overs, with Hope on 55 from 34 balls and Chase on 15 from 16 balls.
