  Zampa`s 21,000 mile trek worthwhile as Invincibles win Hundred final

(BSS/AFP) - Adam Zampa`s marathon 21,000 mile (34,000 kilometre) round trip from Australia just to bowl 20 balls paid dividends as the Oval Invincibles won their third successive final in English cricket`s Hundred with a 26-run victory over the Trent Rockets at Lord`s on Sunday.

Zampa`S near 30-hour journey came about after the 33-year-old, who`s been on international duty with Australia, was summoned as a replacement for fellow leg-spinner Rashid Khan, called up to play for Afghanistan.

Zampa, who had starred in the Invincibles previous two title-winning campaigns, took a miserly 1-21 from his maximum 20 balls on Sunday, with the veteran having Rockets dangerman David Willey stumped for 14.

He was not the only Australian leg-spinner in the wickets for the Invincibles.

Penrith-born but England-qualified Nathan Sowter took 3-25 -- including the prize scalp of England great Joe Root for 10 -- as the Rockets set 169 to win, were held to 142-8.

It was something of an `Australia Day` at Lord`s, with all-rounder Marcus Stoinis returning figures of 2-40 for the Rockets before top-scoring for the Nottingham-based side with a quickfire 64, including four fours and five sixes, that ended when he was lbw to England quick Saqib Mahmood.

England`s Will Jacks laid the foundations for the Invincibles` win with a 41-ball 72 at the top of the order, although he was reprieved on 28 by a Stoinis no-ball after the Rockets lost New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson to injury in the warm-up.

Australia internationals also took centre stage in the preceding women`s final, with Annabel Sutherland, Nicola Carey and Phoebe Litchfield, the player of the tournament, starring as the Northern Superchargers defeated the Southern Brave by seven wickets.

The 23-year-old Sutherland took 2-23, with the Brave, previously unbeaten in this season`s edition, held to 115-6 in the 100 balls per side showpiece match.

Then, in front of a bumper crowd of 22,542 at Lord`s, Sutherland`s 28 not out helped put the result beyond doubt after the Superchargers had faltered at 59-3.

Sutherland shared an unbroken stand of 60 with Carey (35 not out) and ended the match in style courtesy of a six down the ground as the Superchargers, taking the title for the first time, won with 12 balls to spare.

Litchfield had led the run-chase with 26, including four fours and a six, to become the top-scorer of the tournament, with her 292 runs taking her past former Australia captain Meg Lanning, now of the Invincibles.
