Italy 115-7 (16 ovs) vs WI 165-6 | SCORECARD

New batter Gian Meade gets a lifeline as he miscues the ball high, looking to loft spinner Motie over the leg side.

Brandon King tracking back from mid-off fails to judge the catch cleanly and takes a tumble as he lands on his lower back and bangs his head against the outfield.

He has to go off the field for some treatment after that blow on the head.

Ben Manenti comes down the track to loft the ball straight back past the bowler for a four. The next ball is halfway down as the right-hander launches it for a six over midwicket.

However, Motie strikes with the last ball, getting Ben Manenti bowled for 26.
