Brothers Justin and Anthony Mosca have guided Twenty20 World Cup debutants Italy to their first win in the tournament, as ‌their unbeaten half-centuries secured a dominant 10-wicket victory over Nepal in a Group ‌C clash on Thursday. Justin (60) and Anthony (62) became the first brothers to score half-centuries ‌in the same T20 World Cup match, as Italy, a country without a single natural cricket pitch, chased down a target of 124 with 44 balls to spare. The brothers hail from the Moorebank area of Sydney and live in New South Wales. Player of the match Kalugamage dismissed Nepal captain Rohit Paudel (23) and helped restrict Nepal to a meagre total of 123. Mendis (61) and Rathnayake (60) stitched together a 94-run partnership for the third wicket after Sri Lanka were asked to bat.
