Reportedly, Zampa was in training on Monday, but did not look fully fit to play in the match on Tuesday. The first ODI was played on Saturday and Pakistan won by 5 wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Fifties from Matthew Short and Matt Renshaw were of no help as Minhas's 5/32 sank Australia to a total of 200 all-out. Abrar Ahmed, too, chipped in with two wickets and some restrictive bowling. Arafat Minhas became the first Pakistani player to take a five-wicket haul on ODI debut.
Pakistan's response was measured. Babar Azam top-scored with 69, while Ghazi Ghori provided support with 65. As fate would have it, Minhas scored the winning runs as well.
Adam Zampa uncertain for 2nd ODI
On Monday, Zampa was reportedly at training, but was not at the ideal level of fitness to play a full match.
In Zampa's absence, Australia picked left-armer Matthew Kuhnemann and leggie Tanveer Sangha as their primary spinners in Rawalpindi. Kuhnemann and Sangha put up a good performance, combining to take 2 wickets for just 60 runs in their 20 overs.
With Adam Zampa absent, Australia might also be tempted to use the services of all-rounder Cooper Connolly, but he didn't join the squad until Saturday, when he came back from his IPL stint with the Punjab Kings.

Adam Zampa in ODIs
Zampa's absence will hurt Australia primarily because of his experience. Of all the Australian players who are in the squad for the ODI series against Pakistan, Adam Zampa is the most experienced, having played 116 matches.
Zampa was also part of the Australian squad that won the 2023 ODI World Cup. At that tournament, he became the third player to take four-wicket hauls in three consecutive ODI World Cup matches.
