India vs Australia Live Score Updates : Pat Cummins explains why ‘Adam Zampa’ could be crucial against India
Adam Zampa could be in action for the Australian team and showcase his skills with spin against India in a three-match ODI series
Noting that Zampa can be the trump card in the match against India, Pat Cummins said he can slow down the run rate in the middle overs as well as well as pick up some wickets during the death overs
“Particularly if you pick four frontline bowlers, you’ve got to be ready to bowl in all phases. ‘Zamps’, he’s effective at not only keeping the run rate down but he can take a couple of wickets at the death, which is really important as well and sometimes it’s a bit harder for pace bowlers to do that. I wouldn’t be surprised if we keep two, three or four overs up our sleeve with him,” Cummins said as quoted from cricket.com.au.
