[Watch] Josh Inglis fumbles but miraculously executes stumping to dismiss Paul van Meekeren in 2023 World Cup clash
Australian wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglish executed an unusual stumping off Adam Zampa's bowling to dismiss Netherlands player Paul van Meekeren in the 2023 World Cup clash in Delhi on Wednesday, October 25.
The dismissal took place in the 21st over when Zampa bowled a wide delivery down the leg side. Meekeren looked to sweep, but missed it altogether. Inglish also failed to collect the ball, but it fell on the stumps after hitting his gloves. The batter was stranded on the crease line.
With the dismissal, Zampa took back-to-back wickets as Netherlands were bundled out for 90 while chasing 400. The leg-spinner finished the game as the leading wicket-taker, finishing with figures of 4/8 in just three overs. It was his third consecutive four-wicket haul in the tournament, having finished with 4/53 and 4/47 against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, respectively.
With 13 wickets in five matches, Zampa has become the leading wicket-taker in the 50-over tournament. He eclipsed New Zealand’s left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner, who has scalped 12 wickets in five matches so far.
