Zampa is a huge weapon for Australia in limited overs cricket with his variations. The leg-spinner was brought on immediately after the Powerplay and promptly delivered a tight over that went for just 6.

In his next over, Zampa had the danger man, Asela Gunaratne trapped in front for 4 off a googly. Zampa followed that over up with a double-wicket over where he had Chamara Kapugedara and Dasun Shanaka.

Kapugedara was cleaned up by another googly from the wrist spinner and a ball later he had Shanaka plumb in front for a duck off a quick slider. Zampa finished with impressive figures of 3/25.
