Men’s ODI WC: David Miller Slams Superb 101 As South Africa Make 212 Against Australia
ODI World Cup: David Miller stood tall with a fighting century, the first hundred by a South Africa batter in the Men’s ODI World Cup knockouts, to take the Proteas to 212 in 49.4 overs against Australia in the second semi-final at the Eden Gardens on Thursday.
Electing to bat first under overcast skies, South Africa were rocked by Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc to be reduced to 24/4, before Miller soaked in pressure and hanged around to make 101 off 116 balls, hitting eight fours and five sixes, as he got a standing ovation from the crowd in the stadium.
Miller's century is also the first ton by someone batting at number six or lower in a Men's ODI World Cup knockout match. He stitched a 95-run stand with Heinrich Klassen and was severe on leg-spinner Adam Zampa, against whom he slammed all of his sixes in Thursday’s match.
