3. David Miller
David Miller finished third on the run‑getters list with 151 runs from two innings at a strike rate of 127.97. He was rested for the third ODI.
Miller managed only 9 off 24 balls in the first ODI at Kingsmead, Durban, where he was dismissed off a leading edge. He more than made up for that in the second ODI at the Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg on September 27, 2026, striking 142 off 93 balls with 12 fours and 9 sixes at a strike rate of 152.69. That knock was his career‑best ODI score and earned him the Player of the Match award for that game. In the series, Miller aggregated 151 runs in two innings at a strike rate of 127.97.
