Iceland Cricket kept the online banter rolling, once again lighting up social media with its trademark wit and cheeky humour. Replying to a post from the International Cricket Council showing celebratory
moments from Italy’s win against Nepal, Iceland questioned how the world body could endorse ecstasy.
Italy thrashed Nepal by 10 wickets to register a historic maiden victory in the men’s T20 World Cup, delivering a clinical performance in just the second game of their debut campaign in Mumbai on Thursday.
After their spinners dominated proceedings to skittle Nepal out for a modest 123, brothers Anthony (62* off) and Justin Mosca (60* off) stitched together a commanding unbeaten opening partnership to seal a crushing victory, as the Rhinos fell well short of expectations.
“Ecstasy in the Italy camp after their maiden win at the #T20WorldCup 😍,” ICC tweeted in the wee hours of Friday.

“So much for the ICC’s anti-drugs stance. Here they are openly endorsing the use of ecstasy by the Italian squad,” Iceland replied.

The most serious short-term physical health risks of using ecstasy include hyperthermia (elevated body temperature) and dehydration. There have also been cases of life-threatening and even fatal hyponatremia, a condition in which sodium levels in the blood drop too low.
Meanwhile, chasing a paltry 124, Italy knocked off the runs with more than seven overs to spare.
The younger of the two, Justin, hammered three sixes and five boundaries en route to an unbeaten 60 off 44 deliveries, while Anthony capitalised on a demoralised Nepal attack, blasting six sixes and three fours in a scintillating 62* off just 32 balls.
