ICC ODI World Cup: Australia's dynamic spinner, Adam Zampa, has emerged as a pivotal force in the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup 2023, showcasing his exceptional skills with the ball and making valuable contributions with the bat too. His journey to success traces back to the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Dubai in 2021, where he played a crucial role in securing Australia's first T20 World Cup crown.

Zampa's remarkable performance in Dubai, finishing with 13 wickets at an impressive economy rate of 5.81, established him as Australia's go-to spinner in major ICC tournaments. His reputation has been further solidified in the current ODI World Cup, where he has already claimed 20 wickets in just eight matches, earning him the title of the third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament.

The leg-spinner faced a challenging moment in the tournament, going wicketless in Australia's defeat to India in Chennai. However, his resilience came to the forefront, and in subsequent games, Zampa scripted a sensational turnaround. Against Sri Lanka, after initially struggling with figures of 1-145, from 21 overs, he staged a remarkable comeback, clinching 20 wickets at an impressive average of 9.66 from 69 overs.
