Glad we came out winning says David Miller – Cricket News Update
Kings XI Punjab’s middle-order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Lawson-Miller-c53037, expressed his delight after helping his side clinch a thrilling victory over Pune Warriors in the ongoing Indian Premier League.
Chasing a stiff target of 186, the home side was put on the back foot early on after they lost their most experienced players in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mandeep-Singh-c74122 and Manan Vohra gave impetus to the innings by adding
a quickly fire 53 before the former and Miller combined to help their side win the game with just one ball to spare.
Miller showed his batting prowess by notching up his highest IPL score of 80, which came off just 41 balls and included five fours and as many sixes. His 128-run stand with Mandeep took the game away from the tourists, and eventually sealed two precious
points for the host.
At the conclusion of the match, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Miller-c76318 said that the goal was to take the game to the final over.
"We did a really great job by taking the game to the last over. We were backing ourselves, we had a chance of winning or losing and I am glad we came out winning at the end of it," Miller told the IPL site. "I said to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-Moore-c2572, we just need to watch the ball
well and really try our best. I wasn't really thinking much to be honest; I had a few plans field wise, but other than that I just tried to clear the ball that came my way."
The left-handed South African further praised the contributions of his young teammate, who ended up unbeaten on 77, having faced just 58 balls. It was the first fifty scored by the 21-year-old, with Miller terming the knock as phenomenal.
"He is a star for the future," he said. "He has a good mind, wants to do well and I am really happy for him."
