England vs Italy Chance of Winning

England went head to head in the last game against Scotland which was a must win game for England after they got battered by West Indies in the second game. England restricted Scotland to 152 runs and they eventually won the game with five wickets to spare. They are currently second on the table.

Italy did not have a great start to the campaign as they struggled in the opening game against Scotland but in the last match they managed to turn things around and beat Nepal with ten wickets to spare. They are fourth on the table. As per our calculations, England are favourites in the upcoming game.

England vs Italy Prediction & Tips 2026

Tom Banton was sensational in the last series against Sri Lanka as he scored 90 runs but struggled early on in this campaign. In the last game he scored 63 runs which makes us believe he will do well in the upcoming game.

Benjamin Manenti headed into this tournament as one of the key players for Italy in this tournament and in the opening game he scored a brilliant half century which makes us believe he will do well in the upcoming game.

England vs Italy Top Batters

Jacob Bethell to be England’ top batter

Jacob Bethell has been sensational so far in this tournament and we expect him to have a similar impact. With 120 runs, he is the leading run scorer for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Justin Mosca to be Italy’ top batter

Justin Mosca was sensational in the last game as he scored 60 runs and took his team over the line. We expect him to continue and do well once again which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

England vs Italy Top Bowlers

Adil Rashid to be England’ top bowler

Adil Rashid had a dismal start to the campaign but has bounced back and has been sensational in the last few games. He is the leading wicket taker for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Grant Stewart to be Italy’ top bowler

Grant Stewart was expensive in the last game but that doesn’t change the fact he has been one of the most consistent bowlers for Italy in this format which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
