ITALY completed a hat-trick of 50-over wins against Ash Wright’s Guernsey side with a 48-run win in Benoni, South Africa yesterday.

The result immediately puts pressure on the Greens to come good today against the Cayman Islands and on Wednesday against Qatar.
With only the top two in each of two four-team pools going forward to the semi-finals Guernsey know they cannot afford any more slip-ups.
Not that losing to Italy should be seen as a shock, as the Italians have a good record against the Sarnians, as Wright admitted.
‘We always knew that Italy were probably one of the strongest teams in the tournament.’
