The Miller Show — Overs 7 to 14
This is genuinely one of the great T20 innings under pressure. Here’s how Miller dismantled India’s bowling attack:
Overs 7–8: Miller immediately targeted the spinners — two boundaries off Varun, one lucky edge, one authoritative drive over long-off. India’s mystery weapon? Not so mysterious anymore.
Over 9 (Varun): 6, 4, 6 — Miller and Brevis combined for 17 runs. Varun visibly rattled.
Over 10 (Pandya): No-ball on the last delivery. Miller deposited the free hit over long-on for six. SA hit 84.
Over 11 (Dube): Brevis joined the carnage — four and six — 15 runs off Dube. SA close in on 100.
Over 12 (Varun): Wides, boundaries, 12 more runs. SA breach 100 in the 12th.
Over 13 (Dube): The twist — Brevis miscues and Abhishek takes a sharp catch. 45 off 29, a stellar knock ends. BUT Dube still concedes 17 in the same over as Miller goes big.
Over 13.x: Miller smashes six to bring up his 50 off 26 balls. The Narendra Modi Stadium stunned into silence — except the travelling Proteas supporters.
Over 14 (Sundar): Finally a tidy over — just 6 runs. SA 134/4. With 6 overs remaining and Miller plus Stubbs at the crease, India need an immediate breakthrough or this innings spirals past 180.
