Adam Zampa celebrates with Marcus Stoinis after taking one of his four wickets in Australia’s win over Namibia at the T20 World Cup in Antigua.Adam Zampa celebrates with Marcus Stoinis after taking one of his four wickets in Australia’s win over Namibia at the T20 World Cup in Antigua.After his side won the toss, Adam Zampa was again the star attraction as Australia skittled Namibia for only 72 runs – the lowest total any side has ever posted in a T20I against Australia.

Zampa’s final wicket, when he bowled Bernard Scholtz through the gate, made him the first Australian man to take 100 wickets in the shortest format of the international game. “Just trying to do my thing, mate,” said Zampa, the player of the match. “We’re happy, it’s the first step in trying to take the trophy home but a long way to go.”

Australia will now finish in the top two of Group B, meaning they will play in the tournament’s Super Eight stage regardless of the result of Sunday’s final group-stage match against Scotland.
