'It's always at the back of the mind': David Miller's honest admission on GT loss after last-over finish vs RCB
David Miller hit two sixes in the final over as Delhi Capitals beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets in their IPL match on Saturday, completing a turnaround after his recent failure in a similar situation. Chasing 176, DC needed 15 runs from the last over. Miller kept his composure and struck Romario Shepherd for two sixes to take the team home with one ball to spare.
The result came days after he faced criticism for not finishing a chase against Gujarat Titans when DC needed two runs off two balls. Miller said he was relieved to finish the job this time. "Feels really good.
After that game the other night, was a disappointing game, but to get it done today feels good. It's always going to be at the back of the mind till you win another game," he said after the match. "Mentally just trying to stay in the moment and do what I can.
They bowled six yorkers to me and I couldn't really get going but chuffed it came off in the last six overs. ” He also spoke about his partnership with Tristan Stubbs, who remained not out on 60. "We wanted to try and finish it in the second-to-last over always, but with as many runs needed, we knew we needed one or two sixes.
So we just tried to limit the dot balls and take the boundary balls," he said. "There were lot of breaks in the game so our minds were a bit all over the place. When I walked out, Stubbo said to me to keep the intensity really high and that helped.
