T20 World Cup 2021: Australia's strongest predicted playing XI for the tournament

11.Adam Zampa

Having a leg-spinner has almost become an unofficial norm to thrive in T20s. In Australia’s line-up, the crucial spot is occupied by Adam Zampa. Unlike some of his contemporaries, Zampa isn’t a massive turner of the ball. However, this doesn’t restrict him from tormenting opposition bowlers. Zampa’s variation and change of pace allow him to keep batters on their heels.

Hence, taking Zampa to cleaners isn’t an easy job.  The leg-spinner can choke the scoring rate at any stage of the game and his ability to take wickets in the middle overs makes him a captain’s delight. Zampa has so far scalped 47 wickets in 46 games with his economy rate being just a tad over seven.

Meanwhile, Zampa will also be assisted by left-arm spinner Aston Agar. The duo has formed a good pair in the recent past and the sub-continental tracks would make them even more lethal. Notably, Zampa has played T20 cricket in UAE before and his experience would come in handy.
