SA rivals too hot to handle

South African stand-in T20 captain David Miller has admitted that they were outsmarted by Pakistan during the powerplay in their 27-run defeat at SuperSport Park on Wednesday.

After the first six overs‚ Pakistan accelerated to score 50/2 while the Proteas stuttered out of the blocks with 24/2‚ and that proved to be SA’s undoing as they were ultimately bowled out for 141 in chasing the par target of 169.

“We thought we will bowl first and chase the target down but it didn’t work out‚” said Miller‚ looking back at the defeat that denied SA a 3-0 T20 series whitewash.
