Miller–Stubbs Stand Lifts South Africa to 76‑Run Win Over India, Strengthening T20 World Cup Push

Miller's mentorship of Stubbs is helping solidify a settled middle order before the West Indies test.

Overview

  • South Africa routed India by 76 runs in Ahmedabad after posting 187 and bowling the hosts out for 111 in their Super Eights opener.
  • David Miller smashed 63 off 35 balls to rebuild after early top-order losses inflicted by Jasprit Bumrah.
  • Tristan Stubbs finished unbeaten on 44 off 24, complementing Miller’s surge and closing the innings with calculated late hitting.
  • Stubbs says he modelled his game on Miller, while Miller emphasizes bringing experience and calm to help younger teammates feel at ease.
  • Stubbs notes the top six is gelling after consecutive games together, with late call-ups for him and Ryan Rickelton due to injuries, and a Thursday clash with West Indies in Ahmedabad (11:30am SA time) that could set up a semi-final berth depending on other results.
