David Miller transferred his sensational IPL form to international cricket as South Africa mocked India’s bowling attack to race to victory with a seven-wicket win in their T20 opener.
Rassie Van der Dussen (71 not from 45) and Miller (64 not from 31) share a 131 unbeaten run to chase 212 runs easily with five balls to spare.
India scored an impressive 211 for four with help from Ishan Kishan (76 balls from 48), new captain Rishab Pant (29 balls from 16) and Hardik Pandya (31 balls from 12).
That didn’t happen, however, as the Indians were eclipsed by the brilliance of Miller and van der Dussen, who toyed with the Indian bowling attack. The defeat also ended India’s 12-game winning streak.
