Shai Hope scored a fluent 75, anchoring a below-par 165 for the Caribbean side. Matthew Forde was instrumental with the ball, taking 3-19 to restrict Italy to 123 in 18 overs.
Despite the win, the West Indies struggled for rhythm in batting, with few partners supporting Hope. Italy's spirited fielding, including diving stops and a sprint for a catch, made the game difficult for the favourites.
