WI 31-1 (4 ovs) vs Italy | SCORECARD

Pacer Thomas Draca into the attack from the other end. He starts with an overpitched delivery which Hope drives perfectly in the gap past the fielder in the covers for a four.

Draca gets the next ball to swing away quite a bit after pitching to beat Hope on the outside the edge.

The West Indies skipper then hammers a wide delivery from Draca uppishly over the off-side ring for another boundary.

In the next over, Hasan comes under some punishment after a fine first over.

Hope continues his aggressive start as he drills an overpitched delivery from the pacer through the covers for a four.

Three dots in a row before Hope hammers it over the off-side for another boundary before he pulls the last ball comfortably for a six, to get 14 runs from the fourth over.
