Italy secured their first-ever T20 World Cup victory by defeating Nepal by 10 wickets in Mumbai on February 12, 2026. This historic win, achieved in only their second match at a global cricket tournament, marks only the eighth 10-wicket victory in men’s T20 World Cup history. Nepal was bowled out for 123, and Italy's Anthony and Justin Mosca then delivered an unbeaten partnership, scoring 124 runs to secure the win. In other matches, Sri Lanka defeated Oman by 105 runs, propelled by Dasun Shanaka's record-breaking half-century. Later, co-host and defending champion India played Namibia in New Delhi.
