Australia spinner Adam Zampa registered an unwanted record on Friday (September 15) after he equalled the record for most runs conceded by a bowler in ODI cricket during the fourth ODI against South Africa in Centurion.

Zampa was taken to the cleaners at the SuperSport Park by Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller as the Australian spinner went level with compatriot Mick Lewis for the most costliest figures in ODI. Lewis had set the record in 2006 also against South Africa.

With figures of 113 for 0 in 10 overs, Lewis conceded the most runs by a bowler in an ODI innings, which saw South Africa chase down a mammoth 434. Now, Zampa also falls victim to the same opposition.

Zampa conceded 26 runs in his final over that was the 48th of the innings in which Klaasen hit three sixes and 1 four to get to 150 and finished his knock at 174 off 83 balls. Here is a look at the most expensive spell in one day internationals.

Coming back to the South African innings, apart from Klaasen, Miller scored an unbeaten 82 off 45 balls, while Rassie van der Dussen scored 62 off 65 balls after Quinton de Kock had added 45 off 64 balls as the host finished the innings at 416/5 in 50 overs.

South African batters smashed a total of 20 sixes in the innings with Klaasen alone hitting 13 of those maximums along with his 13 fours in a total of 36 fours. This total of 416 is also the thirteenth highest in ODI history and the fifth highest of South Africa.
