Known for his aggressive batting, Miller was unable to finish the game for South Africa, getting caught on the boundary off the first delivery of the final over. Needing 16 runs to win, he attempted to clear the boundary but was caught by Suryakumar Yadav.
India, led by Rohit Sharma, restricted South Africa to 169/8, clinching victory by seven runs in the final at Kensington Oval. This marked South Africa’s first appearance in a senior men’s final since the inaugural Champions Trophy in Bangladesh in 1998, following numerous semi-final losses in various tournaments, including a memorable defeat to Australia in the 1999 World Cup.
