david miller

South Africa’s dangerous batsman David Miller may not have been able to do anything special in this T20 World Cup, but all cricket fans know what kind of explosive batsman he is. Miller’s bat has played in every major match. Last time also in the final match of T20 World Cup 2024, he stood alone against India, although he could not win, but this time David Miller would like to take his team to the final and would also like to win the trophy. In such a situation, Miller can become New Zealand’s biggest tension.

lungi ngidi

South Africa’s star fast bowler Lungi Ngidi has performed brilliantly so far in the T20 World Cup 2026. He is at third place in terms of taking most wickets in this tournament. Ngidi said Playing in 6 matches, he has taken a total of 12 wickets at an economy rate of 6.87. His best performance during this period is taking 4 wickets for 31 runs. Now South Africa will have a lot of expectations from this bowler in the semi-final match. If Ngidi remains in this form, New Zealand’s problems will increase.
