Italy vs Denmark Chance of Winning
Italy are coming off a horrendous loss against Scotland in their previous match. The Scotland batsmen had the best time out in the middle, smashing 245/2 in 20 overs on the back of Ollie Hairs' scintillating hundred (127 runs) and Brand McMullen's phenomenal half-century (96 runs). Grant Stewart was the star performer with the ball for Italy, the right-arm fast bowler finishing with 1/22 in a high-scoring game.
In reply to Scotland's huge total, Italy never had a chance as their batting unit was bundled out for 90 runs in 12.4 overs. Grant Stewart was once again the star performer, smashing 41 runs in 21 balls on a losing cause. With the loss against Scotland, Italy's net run rate has taken a huge hit, and they have dropped to sixth on the points table.
After two consecutive losses, Denmark bounced back with a win over Austria in their previous game. Bowling first, Denmark restricted Austria to 97/9 in 20 overs thanks to Nicolaj Laegsgaard's four-wicket haul and Saud Munir's three-wicket haul. Denmark then chased down the target with eight wickets to spare (98/2 in 12.4 overs) to win their first match of the qualifiers tournament. The huge win over Austria has helped them in edging past Italy on net run rate as they move up to fifth position on the points table.
- Italy’s Chance of Winning: 69%
- Denmark’s Chance of Winning: 31%
Italy vs Denmark Betting Tips
Wayne Madsen has the potential to score runs at a fast pace and can be a game-changer when he gets going. He scored a match-winning fifty in his first game of the qualifiers tournament, but unfortunately, he was unable to produce another match-winning innings in his last outing against Scotland. Madsen was one of the leading run-scorers in the recently concluded T20 Blast competition. Considering his recent form and stats, we believe that the 39-year-old right-hander will score over 25 runs against Denmark.

Italy to win the match @ 1.17 (Parimatch)
The odds are in favour of Italy winning the match against Denmark at 1.17 (Parimatch). Italy has a dominant record against Denmark, having won their last two head-to-head matches. We back Italy to continue their winning streak and make it three in a row against Denmark.
Italy vs Denmark Top Batters
Wayne Madsen to be the top batter for Italy
Wayne Madsen has scored 53 runs in two matches in the tournament. He scored a match winning half century against Jersey and is looking in good form. We believe Madsen to come good against Denmark in an all important match for Italy.
Saif Ahmed to be the top batter for Denmark
Saif Ahmed is coming off a solid performance in his previous match smashing a match winning half century against Austria and remained unbeaten on 53* in 41 balls. He has amassed 106 runs in three matches in the tournament and has been in phenomenal form. We believe Ahmed to continue his good run of form and produce another match winning knock against Italy.
Italy vs Denmark Top Bowlers
Grant Stewart to be the top bowler for Italy
Grant Stewart has been the stand out performer with the ball for Italy. He has picked up four wickets in two matches (3/29 vs Jersey & 1/22 vs Scotland). He is a very good death bowler and a wicket taker. We predict Stewart to produce a match winning spell against Denmark.
Saud Munir to be the top bowler for Denmark
Saud Munir picked up three wickets in his last outing against Austria. He troubled the opponent batsman with his pace and line & lengths. Munir has picked up 18 wickets in his last 10 T20 matches and we back Munir to be the top bowler for Denmark against Italy.
