South Africa faced their fifth World Cup semifinal loss, which is frustrating. However, David Miller, a veteran batter, believes that South Africa can take pride in their performances in this edition of the event. Despite falling short in the semifinal against Australia, Miller thinks it’s only a matter of time before they win the coveted trophy. South Africa, known as World Cup ‘chokers,’ impressed in the group stage with powerful batting, and Miller’s century and disciplined bowling almost led them to victory.

Miller was upset because they aimed to make it to the final and vie for the trophy. Even though they lost, he pointed out the impressive play of players like Gerald Coetzee and Marco Jansen. Miller stressed the team’s goal of making lasting memories and enjoying the journey, recognizing the team’s character despite the semifinal defeat.

Reflecting on past World Cup disappointments, Miller compared the mood to the 2015 semifinal against New Zealand.Although he acknowledged the team’s strong efforts this season, he acknowledged that the semifinal loss was disappointing.

When asked about retirement, Miller stated that he would assess it year by year and consider how his body feels.Miller commended captain Temba Bavuma for his leadership and the contribution he has made to raising the standard of ODI cricket, even if he was not fully fit to participate..

“Unfortunately he didn’t get runs. But to have a leader like him is always important. He performed admirably,” Miller remarked.

After losing the toss and batting first, India’s first 5 batsmen batted brilliantly. Opener Lokesh Rahul and middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav’s brilliant half-centuries saw India post a huge score of 237 runs for just 3 wickets.

Chasing the target of 238 runs, Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh hit the Protea camp early. Captain Temba did not allow Bavuma to open the book of runs. But another opener Quinton de Kock and Marquette batsman David Miller did not go away. Miller was driving the team towards the target by batting in a devastating mood.

The Protea star batsman played a great inning of 106 runs from just 47 balls. But that did not save the end. Miller remained unbeaten but South Africa lost by 16 runs. As a result, Rohit Sharma’s team won the T20 series 2-0. Miller can burn with the regret of not being able to win the team despite playing such an incredible inning. And De Kock, the experienced star of the team, felt Miller’s pain equally.

That’s why he expressed his grief to Miller. De Kock apologized to Miller. De Kock came to me after the match and said, “You played well, but I apologize because it was a good wicket. India put us under pressure from the start. It was a situation where we had to bat from the first ball. It rained here, so the weather was humid. We had to drink more water.”

Quinton de Kock also batted well in the match. He scored 69 runs off 48 balls in the second T20 of the series at Gauhati Stadium on Sunday.

Apart from this, Aden Makram scored 33 runs off 19 balls at number four. But Miller continued to fight till the end but could not save the match.
