Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa went on to reveal that some impartial analysis from T20I keeper Tim Paine helped him to perform in the T20I series against India.

Zampa underperformed during the ODI series as Hardik Pandya wrecked havoc in his spell by smashing three consecutive sixes. But with the arrival of Paine came a fresh perspective.

Talking about the conversation, Zampa said, “Watching from afar in Australia, (Paine) said that I didn’t look like my usual self and how I usually am in the Big Bash.He said that competitive side of me (wasn’t there). I don’t like hearing that about myself so I was pretty fired up about that.”

The leggie took 2/19 in four overs and have support to Jason Behrendroff match-winning spell of 4/21. Talking about his ODI performance, Zampa said, “Your confidence does take a hit. I’ve never found myself to be the most skilful bowler in the world, but I like to think that I come back well from setbacks. And my temperament is one of my strengths. I probably wasn’t bowling at my best … but to come back feeling confident and get a couple of big wickets, I felt like I bowled really well.”

Australia has a chance to win the T20I series in the decider in Hyderabad after an inspired performance saw them take the second match. Zampa reckons that confident that Australia can take something from this trip to India.
