Australia’s premier leg-spinner Adam Zampa has hit his stride in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup as he continues to showcase the reason why the Aussies rate him so highly in the white-ball formats.
The right-arm leg-spinner bagged another four-wicket haul – the fourth one of his T20I career against Namibia to take Australia into the Super Eight stage of the marquee tournament.
Zampa bagged figures of 4/12 in his four-over spell and reduced Namibia’s batting order to dust. Nambia failed to counter Zampa and got bowled out for 72 in just 17 overs before the Australian top-order comprising David Warner (20 runs off eight balls), Travis Head (34* off 17 balls) and Mitchell Marsh (18* off nine balls) made light work of the run chase.
Notably, Zampa’s match-winning spell helped him become the first Australian player in history to claim 100 wickets in T20Is. The 32-year-old is already the leading wicket-taker for the Aussies in the format and the latest milestone has added another feather in his cap.
