[Watch] Adam Zampa Becomes Second Australian with 300 T20 Wickets

Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa reached a significant milestone in T20 cricket by taking his 300th wicket during Australia’s match against Oman in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. This achievement came in his 258th match, making him the second Australian and the 27th bowler overall to reach this landmark.

Zampa’s milestone moment occurred in the 12th over when he dismissed Shoaib Khan with a perfect delivery. The ball, bowled at 90 kmph, was full on the off stump. Khan walked down the pitch but yorked himself, failing to get his bat down in time, allowing the ball to sneak through and hit the base of the stumps. This wicket further destabilized Oman’s batting lineup.
