They Put Us Under The Pump - Adam Zampa

Adam Zampa praised his team's effort in turning the game around after a challenging start. Zampa noted that the team managed to regain control during the middle overs. Zampa highlighted the importance of winning to secure a top-three spot and make the competition tougher for others.

"They put us under the pump in the powerplay early. There was a bit of purchase on offer. Boys dragged it back in the middle. Have been playing good cricket throughout. We knew winning today would put us in a good position for the top three and potentially making it tough for the others," Zampa said.

The Oval Invincibles have confirmed their place in the top three. Jordan Cox scored 61 off 30 balls, including nine fours and two sixes.
