The leg-spinner has been Australia's frontline T20I bowler, consistently taking key wickets in the middle overs. He has picked up 23 wickets in 13 matches in 2024, averaging nearly two wickets per game. Zampa was the leading wicket-taker in the recently concluded The Hundred tournament. Given his recent form and consistency, we back Zampa to take over 1.5 wickets in today's match.
The left-hander has been in phenomenal form in 2024, smashing 357 runs in 10 matches, averaging 39.7 and hitting 2 fifties. Given the batter-friendly track at Edinburgh, we back Head to come good in the 1st T20I.
