Adam Zampa played a match-winning role for the Australian cricket team in their first win of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series against the Pakistan cricket team. Despite playing away from home, the Aussies dominated their rivals and earned 10 points in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. Australia beat Pakistan by 88 runs in the first match at the Pindi Cricket Stadium.
The Pakistan cricket team won the toss and decided to field first at the Pindi Cricket Stadium. Travis Head played as an opener for the Australian cricket team and scored a century for the team. He scored 101 runs off 72 deliveries, smashing 12 fours and three sixes.
Ben McDermott backed him up with a half-century, aggregating 55 runs off 70 deliveries. Cameron Green provided a great finishing touch by scoring 40 from 30 balls. Haris Rauf and Zahid Mahmood picked up two wickets each, but Pakistan’s pace attack was not so effective in the absence of Shaheen Shah Afridi.
Chasing 314 to win, Imam-ul-Haq provided Pakistan a good start as he scored a century. Captain Babar Azam supported with a half-ton. But once the Australian cricket team dismissed them, the others could not contribute much. Pakistan slumped from 204/5 to 225 all out to lose the match by 88 runs.
Travis Head got us off to a flyer and made it easy for us: Adam Zampa
Speaking to the host broadcaster after the match, Adam Zampa, who took four wickets for the Australian cricket team, was quoted as saying as follows by Sportskeeda:
“The boys played really well and it was a competitive total. We thought it was going to be tough to defend but our bowlers were impressive and we got the result in the end. It was tactical stuff. we do research on the opposition and try to run some plans. Not a lot in the wicket., it stayed low and was skidding through.”
