Adam Zampa is his main weapon in the spinner, but in the past few matches, Australia kept Zampa out and Glenn Maxwell. Apart from Zampa, the current winner also has Nathan Lyon. "It could change, for example, at the Old Trafford ground," Langer said at a press conference before the match. If the wicket is dry, we can go with two spinners. It is good to have such an option.

With this, Australia's Mitchell Starc and Pakistan's Mohammad Amir are joint first in the list of highest wicket-takers in this World Cup. Second is Imran Tahir of South Africa. Tahir is the only spinner in the top-10. Langer said, "So far, this tournament has been dominated by fast bowlers. It's a trend so far and it's done well, but if you look at the past few years, the spinners have achieved a lot of success.
