That congenser between the two turned out to be more than a passenger feeling, since Miller expressed his preference for the final that his team will be lost once more. “I will be honest with you. I think I will support New Zealand,” he said.
“It’s just an hour and 40 minutes flight, but the fact that we had to do that [was not ideal]”Miller said.” It is early in the morning, it is after a game and we had to fly. Then we arrive in Dubai at 4pm. And at 7.30 in the morning we had to return. It doesn’t do it well. It is not as if we turned five hours, and we had enough time to recover and recover. But it was not yet an ideal situation. “
However, in this semifinal, he acknowledged that New Zealand was the best side and deserved winners. The game ended in a bittersweet note for Miller, who reached an undefeated one hundred of 67 banks of the final ball of the contest. He gave him the opportunity to balance his arms from side to side to celebrate the recent birth of his son, but Miller said that “he would prefer to have played badly” if South Africa had won.
“There were very good contributions, a couple of 50 in advance. We had a really good base. Unfortunately, in the middle, we lost too many too many WICKETS. At the end of the day, it is a team effort. Everyone is trying to do their best. It would have been nice to have a rematch against India. But life is sometimes not fair.
Ultimately, perhaps, the tie was taken from South Africa’s hands in the first entries, despite Miller’s destructive ability. New Zealand won the raffle and hit first, having what Miller thought they were the best conditions, particularly with the lack of assistance for Spin under the sun.
“It is not easy to chase 360 even if it is a good Wickt. There was no dew, so I think the Wickt deteriorated as the game progressed. They made the ball much more than us. It’s just that they got a little more purchase of the Wickt.”
Although he made clear his preference, he was not equivalent to a prediction. “Both are incredibly good teams,” said Miller. “India has shown the world how really good they are. They have been playing a good Crick for several years and have some very good players. It will be a great game.”
