On this David Miller claimed that not guiding South Africa home was a difficult pill to take. Miller was visibly upset because, despite his best efforts, he was unable to help South Africa defeat India in the championship match.
South Africa was ultimately 7 runs short of their target, needing 30 runs from the final 5 overs. Miller was present, but he was unable to lead his team home as they managed just 14 runs in 4 overs and required 16 runs in the last over. The southpaw hit Hardik Pandya for a six in the direction of the long-off boundary. With a sensational catch at the boundary line, Suryakumar Yadav ended Proteas’ dreams of winning the maiden World Cup.
