Meanwhile, Miller has been in terrific form in recent times as he scored a century against India in the 2nd T20I and also scored valuable runs in the third match of the series. The left-handed batter continued his good form with the bat in the ODI series as he slammed unbeaten 75 runs in the rain-affected first match to help South Africa take a 1-0 lead.
However, Miller wasn’t able to give the desired finishing touch to the Proteas’ innings in the second ODI as he remained unbeaten on 35 off 34 balls. Aiden Markram (79) and Reeza Hendricks (74) scored solid half-centuries as South Africa posted a formidable 278/7.
