During the post-match presentation, Miller stated that he was given a role, and was "extremely backed". He also said that he is enjoying his role. Further on, the middle-order batter spoke about how he is understanding his game, and drew light on his gameplan.
"I think opportunity, firstly (what's changed?). I've been given a role, I felt extremely backed from the outset. My personal game - I'm enjoying my role, I've been playing for many years now. Understanding my game a lot better. In high-pressure situations you tend to go away from your gameplan but I feel like I'm trying to keep everything together close to the gameplan.
There has been a lot of going wide to me on the off-side, so I decided actually for the first time to step across. Backed myself and went with it. The rest I tried to hit as hard as possible," said David Miller.
