An unbeaten fifty by Will Jacks and Sam Curran's three-wicket haul steered England to a nervy 24-run win over Italy in the Twenty20 World Cup on Monday, as the twice champions progressed to the Super Eight stage.

The win marked Italy’s first-ever victory in T20 World Cups, having made their debut in this edition of the tournament.

Spinners Crishan Kalugamage and Ben Manenti helped debutants Italy to a historic first win at the cricket T20 World Cup with a 10-wicket hammering of Nepal on Thursday.
