WI 113-4 (15 ovs) vs Italy | SCORECARD

Spinner J J Smuts back into the attack. Three singles from first four balls before Hope sweeps the spinner over long-on for a six to take West Indies past the 100-run mark.

He keeps strike with a single from the last ball of the over.

In the next over, Powell finally gets going as he flicks Manenti powerfully over square leg for a six.

However, the spinner gets revenge off the next ball. The Azzuri are celebrating wildly as Powell (9) again attempts the pick up shot but this time fails to get the distance and is caught by Kalumagage at deep square leg.

Italy's bowlers haven't allowed West Indies' batters to run away with the game. They have kept chipping away at the wickets, to reduce West Indies to 113/4 in the 15th over.

How many can West Indies get in the last five overs?
