Miller marked the occasion in style, scoring an unbeaten 71 off just 34 balls with eight fours and five sixes, at a strike rate of 208.82. However, Barbados fell short in their chase of 219/8, managing 172/9 despite Miller's efforts.

Throughout his T20 career, Miller has amassed 10,678 runs at an average of 34.89 and a strike rate of over 137, including four centuries and 48 half-centuries. He has made a significant impact across global leagues, from the IPL and CPL to Australia’s Big Bash League (BBL) and South Africa's SA20, solidifying his reputation as a dependable and explosive middle-order batter.

In the ongoing CPL 2024, Miller has continued to showcase his form, scoring 152 runs in six matches at an average of 38.00 and a strike rate of over 142.
