Coming to this game, South Africa after opting to bat first, would never have imagined the conditions that met them. It was perfect English Test-match weather with clouds all around. A certain James Anderson would approve. Starc and Hazlewood cashed in and reduced South Africa to 24/4 and at that stage it looked like a repeat of the 2007 semi-final was on the cards. But Miller and Klaasen settled down and helped by a rain break, calmed their side's nerves with a 95-run stand. Just when the momentum was turning, Cummins got Head in and he took 2 in 2 balls in his first over to turn things around. But Miller hung around and produced his greatest innings ever to give South Africa a sniff in this game. He was particularly severe on Zampa as he smashed all of his 5 sixes against the leggie.
It's that iconic number again ! 213 was Australia got in the 99 World Cup semi. Now the target for them is 213. We all know how the 99 match played out. If this game is half as good as this, then we are in for a bloody treat.

His greatest innings in any format and it has come in a World Cup semi-final. Rabada goes and hugs him warmly. Miller takes his time and off comes the helmet to soak in the standing ovation from everyone including the WAGs from his team. As soon as he hit this, he celebrates by waving the bat wildly and swiping the air.
