South African captain David Miller praises his batsmen for their performance in the T20I series against England

South African skipper David Miller lauded his batting lineup for batting effectively throughout the series following his side’s stunning 90-run triumph against England in the last T20I.

South Africa defeated England by 90 runs in the third and final T20I of the series on Sunday, thanks to half-centuries from Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram, as well as a fifer from spinner Tabraiz Shamsi. South Africa won the series 2-1 with this victory, upsetting a strong England team on their own turf.

“It is an honour to have played 100 games for the country. Our openers performed admirably, in my opinion. Throughout the series, the hitters performed admirably. We soon forgot about the first game and rebounded spectacularly. Stubbs has made strides in domestic cricket. We have been supporting our process for the past 18 months. Our guys have been raising their hands and performing at critical junctures “Miller stated this at a post-match address.

South Africa scored 191/5 in 20 overs in their first innings. The Proteas’ top hitters were Hendricks (70) and Markram (51*), with Rilee Rossouw and skipper David Miller also contributing. England’s medium bowler David Willey (3/25) grabbed the most wickets.

England, chasing 192, had a solid opening 28-run stand between Jason Roy and Jos Buttler. However, when Keshav Maharaj dismissed Buttler for 14, the hosts began to lose wickets on a regular basis. Jonny Bairstow tried to hold one end firm but ran out of partners. He was Maharaj’s final dismissal for 27.

England were bowled out for 101 runs and lost by 90 runs, handing the series to the Proteas.

Shamsi was South Africa’s top bowler, taking 5/24 and destroying the lower middle order and tail. Maharaj took two wickets, while Nortje, Markram, and Andile Phehlukwayo each had one.

Shamsi was named ‘Man of the Match’ for his magnificent stint, while Hendricks was named ‘Man of the Tournament’ for scoring 180 runs throughout the series. In all three games, he scored half-centuries.

Scores in Brief: England: 101 in 16.4 overs (Jonny Bairstow 27, Jason Roy 17, Tabraiz Shamsi 5/24) beat South Africa 191/5 (Reeza Hendricks 70, Aiden Markram 51*, David Willey 3/25).
