David Miller Starred With Explosive 63 in IND vs SA T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 Match

After losing three quick wickets under four overs, Miller’s counter-attacking knock of 63 propelled South Africa’s total to a formidable score of 187/7. His 97-run partnership with Dewald Brevis came off only 51 deliveries, shifting the momentum entirely in the Proteas’ favour. The big hitter hammered seven fours and three maximums at a pulsating strike rate of 180.

Miller was looking all set for taking South Africa’s total above the 200-run mark but ended up giving his wicket to ace spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who previously had a rare off day to concede 47 runs in his four-over quota. Meanwhile, Sundar once again failed to make an impact while replacing vice-captain Axar Patel in India’s playing XI.

After going wicketless in India’s last group-stage match against the Netherlands, the 26-year-old also could not manage a scalp in the IND vs SA fixture. However, the all-rounder has maintained a decent economy in his two appearances in the T20 World Cup 2026 so far, conceding 53 runs in six overs.

But despite a few noteworthy knocks in Tests, his stats with the willow in the shortest format are not very impressive. Coming in at No.5 in the fourth over while chasing the 180-plus total, Sundar managed just a run-a-ball 11 before edging a Corbin Bosch delivery.

Following the thrashing 76-run loss, the defending champions would be eager to be back in winning ways in their next match against Zimbabwe. On the other hand, alongside two crucial points, South Africa have taken a major step towards qualifying for the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final, with a huge net run rate boost of 3.800.
