This was completely unexpected for me because I only knew Italy as a strong football team and in this match I thought they would lose to Scotland in a zero competition, but the result was actually the opposite.

Anyway, Italy's next opponent is the Netherlands and I would put the Netherlands ahead in this case because the Netherlands team has been doing very well recently. And here too, if nothing unexpected happens, Italy won't be able to win.
And I can already see Scotland winning against Jersey.

No doubt that the results were unexpected. But we will get the confirmation only by tomorrow, when the final round of matches will be completed. Italy will be facing Netherlands, while Scotland will take on Jersey. Technically, all these teams can qualify given the results go in their favor. Talking about Italy, I am quite impressed with them because most of their players are Italian citizens. This is unlike some of the other European teams such as Norway and Austria, who have teams comprised 100% of foreign citizens. Yesterday, it was Harry Manenti who gifted Italy with the win, as he picked up 5 wickets. His brother Ben also did well with the ball. Grant Stewart and Thomas Draca were economical in the first powerplay. While batting, Emilio Gay scored 50 from just 21 balls. He didn't got much support from others, as Marcus Campopiano, Joe Burns and Justin Mosca got out for single digit scores.
