Great Efforts come from David Miller 100(67) Not Out, But It’s Not Sufficient For Winning This match
We can’t understand why God doesn’t see his efforts. RAEEZY Sports team wanted David Miller to lead the South African cricket team to the final but they lost the match.
After winning the toss, New Zealand decided to bat first, which may have been a golden opportunity for New Zealand, because the Gaddafi Stadium is suitable for pace bowling and even more suitable for batting, and the outfield is very fast, so the ball was moving towards the boundary very quickly with the bat. After Will Young was dismissed for 21 runs off 23 balls, former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson came in and he took the batting of the entire middle order and gradually made it easier to put the runs on the scoreboard.
New Zealand Cricket Playing Pattern :
If you look closely, it is very easy to understand the pattern of New Zealand’s game, that is, New Zealand’s middle order is in trouble. If Rachin Ravindra and Williamson could have taken the wickets of them between 1-10, then maybe the match would have been different, because Latham and Mitchell did not play much, they are in the role of a trump card. But you should understand the fielding pattern of New Zealand that they put Glenn Phillips and Williamson at point in the power play because they are not afraid to jump and take catches, and on the other hand, there are a lot of all-rounders in the New Zealand team.
Rachin Ravindra & Kane Williamson Partnership :
So the whole match became one-sided because after the first 48 runs, 212 runs were scored after the second wicket and 251 runs after the third wicket, but by then the match had become one-sided.
South Africa Team Batting Stats :
In the South Africa team, captain Temba Bavuma and Dussen had a 100+ partnership, but both of them could not survive in the match for long, so the pressure of the match shifted from the middle order to the lower order. On the other hand, the star players did not see much of a performance, such as Aiden Markram who scored 31 runs in 29 balls, he hit only 3 fours, Heinrich Klaasen was out for 3 runs in 7 balls, so David Miller was the last influential batsman who, despite having a lot of pressure on him, took the runs to 312, but he alone played a very commendable game.
