ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier Match 7 Denmark vs Italy: Probable XIs, match prediction, live streaming, weather forecast and pitch report

The seventh game of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier will pit Denmark against Italy on Tuesday at the Desert Springs Cricket Ground in Almeria.

Italy and Denmark have not had the best of runs in this tournament thus far. Both sides occupy the bottom two spots in the points table, and will look to move up the table with a win in this game.

Italy are slightly better placed than Denmark, with one win to their name from three games. Denmark, meanwhile, have had a torrid campaign, failing to secure a win from three games so far.

In their previous game, Italy managed only 103 runs, batting first. In response, Germany comfortably chased down the target in the 19th over, handing Italy a four-wicket loss.

Similarly, Denmark suffered a narrow five-run defeat in their last outing. They got very close to beating a formidable Jersey side, but failed to hold their nerves in the death overs. After bowling out Jersey for a paltry total of 94, they endured a spectacular batting collapse, falling five runs short.
