Anthony Mosco smashes two massive sixes off Akeal Hosein in a stunning display of power-hitting during the T20 World Cup 2026 clash, leaving fans and bowlers in awe.
Italy's Anthony Mosco looked in a different form today as he slammed two towering sixes against West Indies' Akeal Hosein in the 37th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. The match at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, took a great turn as Italy tried hard to chase down 166 runs in the second innings.
However, West Indies' Shamar Joseph and Matthew Forde pulled back the game in their favor, claiming four and three wickets, respectively. Anthony started the innings with a great spirit, hitting two sixes and a boundary. But fell prey to Akeal Hosein's bowling. He was dismissed on 19 off 12 balls.
The rest of the batters continued striking the ball but failed to stitch partnerships and stay around, which is why they were bowled out for 123 runs. Italy lost the match by 42 runs. They were already eliminated from the tournament, while the West Indies have qualified for the Super 8. The Caribbean nation is unbeaten in the tournament.
