READ MORE:<\/strong> Kiwis out to bury 'ghost' of Australia in T20 World Cup final<\/a><\/p>\n In a stark contrast to the strapping, tall frames of Australia's vaunted pace trio, the diminutive Zampa is about as unimposing as it gets on a cricket field.<\/p>\n But don't let Zampa's physique and 90s boy band-esque looks fool you: the man is a stone-cold killer in the T20 format.<\/p>\n Zampa has been Australia's best bowler throughout their surprising run to the World Cup final, leading all bowlers with 12 wickets in the Super 12 stage of the tournament at a remarkable economy rate of 5.69.<\/p>\n Finch has called on his leg-spinner to put the halt on a number of sides throughout the tournament, with Zampa's value never more evident than in the semi-final against Pakistan.<\/p>\n The 29-year-old bowled three overs immediately after the batting powerplay, grabbing the wicket of Pakistan skipper and the world's top-ranked T20 batsman Babar Azam in the process as he ground Pakistan's progress to a halt.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Langer hits back at critics of Warner's sportsmanship<\/a><\/p>\n While pace is usually the preferred option in the death overs, Finch deployed Zampa once again in the 16th over of Pakistan's innings. The over prior to Zampa's went for 11 runs, the over after his went for 21. His over? Just five runs were scored.<\/p>\n Since Shane Warne's retirement in 2007, Australian cricket has been crying out of its next great leg-spinner. The likes of Cameron White and Steve Smith have been touted as the next coming, but Zampa received no such hype.<\/p>\n However, since making his international debut in both the ODI and T20 formats, Zampa has become an indispensable part of Australia's limited overs sides.<\/p>\n The Sydney native is used to flying under the radar, and warned opponents who continue to overlook him to do so at their own peril ahead of the final.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
