KOLKATA: There’s no doubt David Miller has played a vital role for South Africa in their World Cup 2023 campaign. But the middle-order batter perhaps reserved his best for the Eden Gardens here on Thursday.
The Proteas have this time stamped their authority while batting first, and their skipper Temba Bavuma decided to tried and tested path after winning the toss in the second semifinal.
For a change, the script unfolded differently as South Africa managed just 18 runs and lost two wickets in the first 10 overs. With Rassie van der Dussen also departing soon after, it was left to Miller and Heinrich Klaasen to keep South Africa in the game.
