Will Jacks' unbeaten 53 off 22 balls rescued England from a precarious position, helping them post 202/7. Despite Jos Buttler and Harry Brook failing to convert starts, England's rearguard action was enough to overcome Italy's modest 178.
The win ensures England's progression to the Super Eights, though the performance highlighted lingering batting frailties against stronger attacks. Jofra Archer had an inconsistent day with the ball, while Italy fought back with a 92-run stand before falling short.
