After returning figures of 4\/27 to earn the Player of the Match award, Adam Zampa<\/a> conceded that Australia\u2019s emphatic nine-wicket win over Oman did little to soften the blow of their early exit from the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026.\u201cTo be honest, it has been a rough few days for us,\u201d Zampa said after the match. \u201cThe voice in our changeroom has been pretty quiet as we are very disappointed that our World Cup is ending so soon,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Captain Mitchell Marsh capped the group stage with a blazing half-century as Australia signed off on a high, underlining their superiority over Oman. Zampa led the charge with the ball in what was a one-sided contest from start to finish, but the dominant display could not alter Australia\u2019s fate in the tournament.Having opted to field first, Australia bundled Oman out for 104 in 16.2 overs. Zampa ripped through the middle order to derail the innings, while Glenn Maxwell, Xavier Bartlett, Marcus Stoinis and Nathan Ellis ensured there was no way back.Despite his four-wicket haul, Zampa reflected candidly on his overall campaign. \u201cI think that I could’ve done more in that Sri Lanka game. My contribution in that game was not good at all. I think that I could’ve done better in that game. My job is to get wickets through the middle,\u201d he said.Australia then chased down the modest 105-run target in just 9.4 overs, with Marsh smashing 64 off 33 balls and Travis Head adding 32 off 19 in a 93-run opening stand. But individual success offered little consolation to Zampa.\u201cYou would always like to have wickets rather than not having. I am not thinking about that much. I am disappointed that our tournament ended today.\u201cWe have built this squad in the last few years, but we failed to do our jobs right,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n\n
