David Miller Anticipates Low-Scoring Matches in T20 World Cup in Americas
NEW DELHI: South Africa and Gujarat Titans’ middle-order batter David Miller has shared his thoughts on the upcoming T20 World Cup in the Americas, predicting that the tournament may not see many high-scoring matches due to the slower nature of the pitches in the United States and West Indies.
In a recent interview, Miller acknowledged the differences in conditions between the ongoing IPL and the upcoming World Cup, emphasizing the need for teams to adapt to the varying pitch conditions. Despite the high-scoring games in the IPL, Miller remains focused on playing to their strengths and not getting caught up in what other teams are doing.
Regarding the controversial ‘Impact Player’ rule in the IPL, Miller expressed his reservations, echoing India captain Rohit Sharma’s concerns about the impact on all-rounders. While acknowledging the rule’s existence, Miller emphasized the importance of sticking to the traditional format of the game with 11 players on the field.
With Gujarat Titans currently placed sixth in the IPL standings, Miller remains optimistic about their chances of making it to the playoffs. He praised skipper Shubman Gill for his leadership and performance with the bat, highlighting the team’s need for more fight and partnerships to secure wins in the remaining games.
As the T20 World Cup draws closer, Miller’s insights provide valuable perspective on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for teams competing in the tournament. Fans can expect an exciting and competitive event as teams navigate the unique conditions of the American pitches.
