Italy achieved a landmark victory by defeating Ireland by four wickets in the third and final T20 match of their series in Dubai. Although Ireland had already secured the series by winning the first two matches, Italy’s triumph marked their first-ever win against an ICC full-member nation. Chasing Ireland’s total of 154, Italy reached 157 for six with three balls to spare, thanks to captain Veni Madsen’s 39 off 30 balls and Grant Stewart’s unbeaten 33 off 19 balls.
Ireland’s innings ended at 154 in 19.4 overs, with opener Paul Stirling scoring 45 and Mark Adair adding 25 runs. For Italy, Kalugamage took three wickets for 28 runs. Despite losing two early wickets for 22, Italy recovered through disciplined batting and finished the chase in style. The victory sparked jubilant celebrations among the Italian players.
Italy will now turn their focus to the T20 World Cup starting in early February, where they are placed in Group C alongside England, Nepal, Scotland, and the West Indies.
