Italy, meanwhile, had a mixed tournament but should be proud of registering a landmark first-ever T20 World Cup victory earlier in the group stage against Nepal. They also produced an impressive performance against one of the best T20 teams in the world, England, but ultimately ended up losing that clash.
The conditions at Eden Gardens reward teams that bat with intent in the powerplay, making a par score in the 155–165 range competitive, and while West Indies may look to test their bench strength, Italy are likely to play with freedom, aiming to finish their campaign with a win. For the WI vs ITA Dream11 team prediction, Shimron Hetmyer and Ben Manenti emerge as the perfect Dream11 captains, while Jason Holder and Sherfane Rutherford should be considered as vice-captains in your fantasy combinations.
