Spinner Adam Zampa was named player of the match for his 4-21, but he described the victory as hollow, saying he was “feeling pretty hollow” and that it was “the worst-feeling four-for I have ever got. ” The win served as a bright spot after Australia’s earlier defeats to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka that left them off the pace in the group.
