T20 World Cup 2021: Ranking finishers of top 8 teams

6. South Africa

For the Proteas, David Miller has been a substantial factor. He brings a certain intensity to the field and the team banks on him to get the job done. Over the years, he has established himself well in the white ball arena. His numbers also further suggest the impact that he has on the game.

Recently he might have not been at his very best, but he is the strongest link in South Africa’s chain. He has been instrumental for the side in the latter half of the South Africa batting, hitting the balls in the death overs. Miller has showed his talent more so in the T20 format, playing 89 innings for South Africa in T20Is, and scoring 1716 runs while maintaining a strike rate of 140.43

Miller doesn’t get behind the ball from the very first delivery, but rather builds on his innings according to the situation. In the recent series against Ireland, Miller’s unbeaten 36 off 17 put the finishing touches on South Africa’s innings as they won the series 3-0. Rassie van der Dussen also controlled the innings of Proteas on quite a few occasions during the recent T20I series, gathering important runs. Andile Phehlukwayo, Chris Morris, and Kagiso Rabada also possess the ability to play quick and impactful innings.
