David Miller is one of the finest finishers in world cricket, and South Africa need him to fire in the Champions Trophy 2025 to go the full distance. In their opening game against Afghanistan, Miller started off well and was on his way to unleash at the death. However, a brilliant catch near the boundary-line led to his downfall and it was a big wicket for Afghanistan at that stage.

Fazalhaq Farooqi Removes Dangerous David Miller

It was the last delivery of the 48th over and Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled it full and outside off. David Miller went for a lofted drive and timed it beautifully as well towards sweeper over. Rahmat Shah moved to his right swiftly and dived full-length to grab a fine catch. It eventually made a difference of 10-15 runs to the final score and Miller walked back disappointed.

Interestiingly, Miller has been at the recieving end of the some superb boundary-line catches, one of them being the famous catch of Suryakumar Yadav in the final of T20 World Cup 2024. South Africa eventually managed to get to 315 with Aiden Markram smashing unbeaten 52 off just 36 balls.

Rassie van der Dussen and Temba Bavuma also scored a fifty while at the top of the order, Ryan Rickelton smashed 103 off 106, delivering for his side in his debut Champions Tophy match. Afghanistan now need to show their skills with the bat and a lot will depend on how their top order goes about the business against a strong South African pace attack.
