Great Britain will take on Italy in a Pool B game at the World Baseball Classic on Sunday. It is still only the early stages for each side but a win here can help whoever gets it qualify for the next WBC tournament, so let’s make a prediction.
The opening two games for Great Britain were tough ones. They were beaten by Mexico 8-2 in their opening game before having to face the might of the USA in game two, ending up on the wrong side of a 1-9 scoreline.
This is a game that is a little bit more of a winnable opportunity for them, beating Italy in a cracker in the European Championships 11-10 when they last met in 2023.
Italy had their first game in this World Baseball Classic on Saturday when they beat Brazil 8-0. They took a long time to get on top in that one, eventually breaking a 0-0 tie in the bottom of the 6th.
Dante Nori went deep for them twice against Brazil, with Jon Berti picking up three hits from four at bats, driving in a couple of runs in the process.
