South African power-hitter David Miller will be the player to watch out for in the second One Day International of the three-match series against England. The middle-order batter formed the backbone of his team’s batting line-up in the One Day Internationals and the shortest format of the game. He was one of the top run-scorers last year. Miller is continuing his batting exploits this year as well. In the first One Day International against England, he acted as the second fiddle for the star performer Rassie van der Dussen. The batter stitched a 90-run partnership with Dussen while adding 53 runs off 56 balls. His knock was laced with four boundaries and one six at a strike rate of 94.64. Speaking of his overall records, the 33-year-old has garnered an amazing 3709 runs in 150 One Day Internationals at an average of 41.67 and a strike rate of 101.48. Thus, he is the leading contender to win the player of the match award on Sunday.
