Shai Hope starred with a composed 75 off 46 balls as the West Indies posted 165/6. Matthew Forde was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/19, restricting Italy to 123 in 18 overs.
Despite the comfortable victory, the West Indies were slightly complacent with their shot selection. Italy, however, displayed immense spirit, diving at full stretch to save boundaries and sprinting for catches in a spirited chase.
