With two wins and two defeats from their four games in the tournament so far, Italy are in fifth place but level on points with third place Jersey. They beat Denmark in their last match and will expect to beat bottom of the table Austria in this clash.
In spite of Wayne Madsen getting a golden duck against Denmark, Italy posted a strong total of 150-8. Harry Manenti was the best batter for Italy after hitting 51 runs from 35 balls including five fours and one six. Grant Stewart has also impressed during the tournament.
Defending 151 on Tuesday, all five of Italy’s bowling attack performed to a high standard against Denmark. Although Benjamin Manenti was the only bowler to go wicketless, the off-spinner bowled accurately and conceded only 17 runs from 4 overs.
Italy were thrashed by Scotland in their third game but have won two of their last three matches in the tournament.

After defeats against Jersey, Germany, Ireland and Denmark, Austria fell to a 166 run defeat against the hosts, Scotland, on Tuesday. Although they are a developing cricketing nation, Austria have been a few levels below all the teams in this tournament.
It was a very disappointing batting performance from Austria on Tuesday although it must be said that they were up against a very strong Scotland bowling attack. Jaweed Sadran scored 15 runs from 14 balls but the rest of the line-up all made single-figure scores.
33 year old left-arm spinner Abdullah Akbarjan was the only Austrian bowler to pick up a wicket against Scotland but also bowled with excellent control. Against a good Italian batting line-up, the Austrian bowlers will need to improve their accuracy in this game.
Austria have been outplayed in all of their games in this tournament and are looking to avoid their sixth defeat in a row.

Italy are nowhere near the best side in this tournament but they should have no problem against a very weak Austria side. Many of Italy’s players have experience at a good level and we are backing them to win this game without too many issues.
