Beyond the numbers
527 career wickets across all formats
Zampa has appeared in 386 matches and taken 527 wickets at a bowling average of 24.53. That volume of wickets, spread across the BBL, ODIs, T20Is and multiple franchise leagues, makes him one of the most active specialist bowlers in the global white-ball circuit.
T20I average of 20.87 is his sharpest number
Across 110 T20 Internationals, Zampa has claimed 143 wickets at 20.87 apiece with an economy of 7.40. His ODI returns of 190 wickets across 113 matches are also substantial, though the strike rate in the shorter format is where the numbers peak.
56 wickets against India at an economy of 5.99
In 18 matches against India, Zampa has taken 56 wickets while conceding just 5.99 runs per over. That combination of volume and control against one of the strongest batting line-ups in the world is the most striking split in his head-to-head record.
MCG: 58 wickets in 9 matches
At the MCG, Zampa has taken 58 wickets across 9 appearances at an economy of 6.56. No venue in his record produces that kind of wicket-taking rate, and it is consistent with the ground's larger dimensions suiting his style of bowling.
Currently active in the PSL
Zampa's most recent appearances have come in the 2026 Pakistan Super League and the preceding T20 World Cup group-stage fixtures. He has bowled four-over spells across all five PSL outings, giving him consistent workload heading into the back half of the global calendar.

A Zampa's profile
Historical aggregates derived from Cricsheet (cricsheet.org) under ODC-BY licence. 2001/02–2026 IPL seasons. Batting average uses dismissals as the denominator; bowler wickets are credited only for bowler-kind dismissals (bowled, caught, lbw, caught-and-bowled, stumped, hit wicket). Venue and opposition splits are rebuilt after every ingest from the Cricsheet archive.
