Beyond the numbers

13,092 runs across 504 matches

Miller has accumulated 13,092 runs at a career average of 40.04 and a strike rate of 125.22, making him one of the more consistent middle-order contributors across formats. His 504 appearances span international cricket, the IPL, SA20, CPL and several other T20 competitions worldwide.

ODI record: 4,573 runs at 43.97

In 150 One-Day Internationals, Miller averages 43.97 with a strike rate of 104.03. That combination of average and scoring pace marks him as a reliable finisher in the 50-over format, where his numbers hold up better than in any other competition.

Kingsmead his most productive ground

Across 45 matches at Kingsmead in Durban, Miller has scored 1,451 runs at an average of 53.74. That ground accounts for a higher average than any other venue he has played at frequently, pointing to a genuine affinity with conditions there.

Australia his strongest head-to-head

In 40 matches against Australia, Miller has made 1,290 runs at an average of 46.07. That is his best return against any major international side he has faced frequently, and above his overall ODI average.

Recent form: a 63 off 35 among mixed returns

Miller's last ten innings include a 63 off 35 balls against India in a T20 International on 22 February 2026, and an unbeaten 41 off 20 balls in the IPL on 8 April 2026. Scores of 6 and 17 around those efforts show the variance typical of a finisher batting lower in the order.
