By IANS News February 12, 2026 • 08:15 AM View: 290

Australia's top leg-spinner Adam Zampa became the joint second-highest wicket-taker in T20 World Cup history after his four-wicket haul, which helped the team register a 67-run victory over Ireland at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Wednesday.

Zampa returned figures of 4-23 in a dominant bowling performance that saw Ireland bundled out for 115 in 16.5 overs while chasing 182. With this effort, he took his overall tally to 40 wickets in T20 World Cup history, drawing level with Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga and Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan for the second spot on the all-time list.
