Australia's spin bowling coach Daniel Vettori feels Adam Zampa's remarkable control over his length has complemented his other sublime skills, making him almost unplayable in the World Cup.

Among spinners, Zampa is leading the wicket-taker's list in the tournament with 20 scalps from eight games at an average of 19.20.

The 31-year-old did not start well against India before finding his rhythm to take four-wicket hauls against Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Netherlands.

Zampa had taken three wickets against arch-rivals England and that effort too was outstanding, said Vettori, himself a champion spinner.

"The England game he didn't go for a boundary; he might not have gone for anything more than a single against two left-handers, against Stokes and Moeen who are very good players of spin.

"That's been the testament in that. It is all about the length of control for him, because all the other skills are there. But when you combine that with that aspect of the game as well, he's almost unplayable."
