(It) gave us an opportunity to talk approximately in the powerplay after the primary couple of overs went India’s manner. And then there has been the difficulty with the snake as properly (in India’s innings). I notion there was loads occurring there,” said South Africa batter David Miller in the submit-suit press convention.
