MUMBAI:&nbsp;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.&nbsp;Kalugamage (3-18) and Manenti (2-9) combined to bowl out Nepal for 123, a total Italy&#39;s openers overhauled with 44 balls to spare in their second match at Mumbai&#39;s Wankhede Stadium.&nbsp;Brothers Justin Mosca, who made 60, and Anthony Mosca, who hit 62, tore into the opposition attack with fours and sixes to fire their team to a win.&nbsp;A nation better known for its football, Italy are cricket minnows and the lowest-ranked side in the 20-team tournament.&nbsp;They lost their opener to Scotland in Group C but bounced back.&nbsp;Nepal were a far cry from the team that ran England close on Sunday at the same venue as they collapsed from 93-3 to be bundled out in 19.3 overs.&nbsp;&quot;It&#39;s pretty extraordinary really. It&#39;s something a lot of people in Italy, a lot of people in this group, have dreamed of,&quot; Italy&#39;s stand-in skipper Harry Manenti said.&nbsp;&quot;We didn&#39;t quite nail it the other day but we backed up today and showed the world what we&#39;ve got.&quot;&nbsp;Italy were without skipper Wayne Madsen, who dislocated his shoulder in the first loss, but came out roaring after they won the toss and elected to field first.&nbsp;Leg-spinner Kalugamage sent back skipper Rohit Paudel for 23 and Manenti, who opened the bowling attack, took down Aasif Sheikh, for 20, with his off-spin.&nbsp;&quot;I always wanted to help the team to win a match and do my best for my nation, Italy -- I&#39;m happy,&quot; player of the match Kalugamage said. &quot;These are my brothers. I&#39;m really happy.&quot;&nbsp;Aarif Sheikh attempted to rebuild in 27 but Italy bowlers were unrelenting in their pursuit of wickets and the Nepal batting came crashing down.&nbsp;&quot;We need to be more consistent and today was the day to prove that, but not taking away the credit from Italy,&quot; said Paudel. &quot;They played really well today and credit must go to them.&quot;&nbsp;The Mosca brothers then struck eight fours and nine sixes between them to leave the Nepal bowlers in agony.&nbsp;The win made Italy jump to third and England slip to fourth in the group led by the West Indies.

ROME: Italy&#39;s competition authority said Monday it had fined US tech giant Apple 98 million euros ($115 million) for allegedly abusing its dominant position in the mobile app market.&nbsp;The AGCM said in a statement that Apple had violated privacy regulations for third-party developers in a market where it &quot;holds a super-dominant position through its App Store&quot;.&nbsp;The body said its investigation had established the &quot;restrictive nature&quot; of the &quot;privacy rules imposed by Apple... on third-party developers of apps distributed through the App Store&quot;.&nbsp;The rules of Apple&#39;s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) &quot;are imposed unilaterally and harm the interests of Apple&#39;s commercial partners&quot;, according to the AGCM statement.&nbsp;French antitrust authorities earlier this year handed Apple a 150-million euro fine over its app tracking privacy feature.&nbsp;Authorities elsewhere in Europe have also opened similar probes over ATT, which Apple promotes as a privacy safeguard.&nbsp;The feature, introduced by Apple in 2021, requires apps to obtain user consent through a pop-up window before tracking their activity across other apps and websites.&nbsp;If they decline, the app loses access to information on that user which enables ad targeting.&nbsp;Critics have accused Apple of using the system to promote its own advertising services while restricting competitors.
