In the 17th match of the tournament, the two fierce rivals, England and Australia locked horns and the match was intense. But the Aussies shined again. They defeated the opponent by 36 runs. Among all, Adam Zampa’s catch miss of Harry Brook in the 19th over caught the limelight. After the match, he opened up about that.
The Catch Drama and Zampa’s View:
In the 17th match of the T20 World Cup 2024, Australia and England locked horns. The match showcased the fierce rivalry between these two team as they fought with all their strength. While bowling in the second innings, Pat Cummins came to bowl in the 19th over. In the fourth delivery of the match, Pat Cummins delivers a length ball outside off, prompting Harry Brook to swing vigorously. Adam Zampa jumps to catch it with one hand, but upon landing, he fumbles and loses control, resulting in the ball popping out of his grasp.
After the match, while talking about this, he said, “No, I don’t know what happened there. Felt like I plucked it out of nowhere, and it stuck. It did for a second, and then, I don’t know, I think the sweat and the impact on the ground. Yeah, I felt that would have been a good one. Would have enjoyed that one.”
Zampa’s Amazing Performance:
In this match, Adam Zampa delivered an incredible performance. England responded strongly with captain Jos Buttler and opener Phil Salt taking charge. Adam Zampa, before altering the game’s dynamics with his performance, acknowledged Australia’s pressure during the onslaught. The duo’s aggressive partnership piled pressure on Australia, accumulating 73 runs in the seventh over. Zampa, relishing the challenging situation, delivered by dismissing the opening pair within his first two overs and ended up registering a spell of 2/28 in 4 overs.
On this, Zampa said, “I don’t know, I try and play my role, I try and really want to put myself in the position to change the game. We were under the pump early with the ball, they were going at 10s.”
Later he added, “I looked at the scoreboard and went, alright, it’s time to stand up. So, I absolutely love those situations. We play a lot of cricket where you don’t feel like that. World Cups is exactly what you play for and to be in those positions – it gets me going.”
