Italy's next match will be against the Netherlands.
The former Australian player is captain Italy's captaincy is burning. He has played 23 Tests for Australia before Italy. That said, this is an Emotional Moment. Defeating a strong team like Scotland is a great achievement for all our players, staff and federation. We are very close to the World Cup. It looks like a dream. Hope this is just the beginning.
If Burns is the captain of the Italian team.
Italy will benefit from the last match The last match of the tournament will be between Italy and the Netherlands. The match between Jersey and Scotland may have been played before, so Italy will know what she has to do.
The plan didn't work at the end- Richie Berington “We stayed in the match but in the end the plan did not work,” said Scotland captain Richie Barington. Italy performed better than us in bowling. We have to learn from this defeat and make a strong return on Friday. We will do our best to win, the rest will determine the result itself.
