    1.6 slapped straight to cover point! Hasan bellows in celebration as Italy strike early. Bhurtel was itching to get moving after that slow start, he had to reach for the cut shot and didn't get it cleanly. Lacked the power of the shot before and looped to the edge of the ring, for Mosca to hold a juggling catch 8/1

    7.2 quick work by Meade, did Aasif topple out of his ground? The keeper certainly thinks so. He was beaten by the flight and almost feel flat, which caused the toe of the boot to drag forward on to the line - and Meade's glovework did the rest! Actually didn't take it cleanly, the ball bobbling against his chest, but he had enough time as Aasif held the pose 49/3

    6.6 swiped to long-on, Paudel perishes! Think he picked the googly, tried to slog it leg side but didn't get the connection and picked out the man back. Lovely moment for Kalugamage, who claims his maiden World Cup wicket 49/2

    13.5 Bowls him with a goodly! Helluva delivery... out the back of the hand, comes back on the angle and not picked by Airee, aiming a drive into the covers. Tickles the top of off. Perfect 93/4

    15.4 Helped around the corner... to the fielder at deep backward square! Italy can do no wrong... even if that delivery was short, there for mullering. Aarif could only help it towards Campopiano, who stooped low to take a smart catch 100/6

    14.4 Taken at cow corner! Lokesh Bam falls trying to push the tempo, gets down on one knee to slog sweep a delivery that had very little on it, more top-edgy than anything else but taken by Anthony Mosca, back-tracking slightly before taking over his shoulder 96/5

    16.3 Length delivery, sits up, pumped... to Henry Manenti at wide long on! Nepal are circling the drain. Gulshan was right to go after that delivery but could and should have gone more towards midwicket. A third for Kalugamage 102/7

    16.5 And now a run out! Utterly comical from Nepal... Italy have them in a spin. Pushed into the off side, Karan KC calls and his partner obliges, but then decides to abort and head back to his end. It's an awful mix up with both batters headed back to the same end. Shoddy cricket as Yadav leaves livid 102/8

    19.1 Caught at cover! Lamichanne tries to hammer a leg cutter into the stands at midwicket but ends up scuffing it high to Harry Manenti in the circle. Why not just try and get Karan KC on strike?? 123/9

    19.3 Run out! Superb from Italy to dismiss Nepal for 123! And it's Harry Manenti, swooping in from cover after an attempt at a tip-and-run, gathering and knocking off the nonstriker end stumps Rajbanshi dives to try and make his ground. A stellar display from the Azzurri. Now to cap it off with a chase of 124 for a historic victory 123/10
