🏏 T20 World Cup 2026 · Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai · 12 February 2026
Italy's first-ever World Cup victory — sealed by two brothers who rewrote the record books and silenced an entire stadium
View the CollectionThe Match Story
Sri Lanka-born legspinner Crishan Kalugamage was the architect of Nepal's downfall. Taking 3 wickets for just 18 runs, he triggered a catastrophic collapse — Nepal slid from a strong 93 for 3 to all out for 123 in 19.3 overs. Kalugamage was named Player of the Match and addressed the euphoric Italian fans in perfect Italian.
Opening together, Justin Mosca (60* off 44) provided a composed anchor while Anthony Mosca (62* off 32 balls, 5 sixes) played one of the most explosive innings of the tournament. Their unbroken 124-run partnership became the highest stand between siblings in all of T20 International cricket history — eclipsing the Bryce sisters' record.
Anthony Mosca pushed a single into the covers. Target reached. He wheeled away, embraced his brother in the middle as teammates flooded the field — then kissed the Italy badge on his jersey. The packed Wankhede — predominantly Nepal supporters in blue and red — was stunned into complete silence. Italy had won a World Cup match for the very first time.

Match Timeline
Pre-Match · Toss
Standing in for injured captain Wayne Madsen, Harry Manenti wins the toss and makes a bold call — bowl first at Wankhede. He then immediately hands the ball to his own brother Ben Manenti to open the attack. A family affair before a ball is bowled.
Overs 1–10 · Nepal's Bright Start
Nepal look composed and dangerous, reaching 93/3. Their experience from nearly toppling England days earlier gives them confidence. Italy need something special to stop the collapse turning into a chaseable total.
Overs 11–19.3 · The Collapse
Legspinner Crishan Kalugamage tears through the lower order, finishing with 3 for 18. Nepal collapse from 93/3 to all out for 123 in 19.3 overs. The Wankhede stadium, thick with Nepali support, grows anxious.
Overs 1–5 · The Mosca Brothers Arrive
Justin and Anthony Mosca open the batting together for Italy and immediately take the attack to Nepal. They reach 50 in just four overs, signalling something extraordinary is brewing under the Mumbai floodlights.
Overs 6–12 · Anthony Explodes
Anthony Mosca's fifty comes off just 28 deliveries. Five sixes. Four fours. Pure, uncomplicated destruction. His brother Justin — equally unbeaten — keeps pace at the other end. Nepal have no answers. The crowd falls silent.
Over 12.4 · The Moment
Anthony Mosca pushes a single into the covers. Italy reach 124. He turns, arms spread, and embraces his brother Justin in the centre of the Wankhede. Then he presses the Italy badge to his lips. The stadium — a sea of Nepali blue and red — is stunned into silence. Italy have won a T20 World Cup match for the very first time.
