'It's always at the back of the mind': David Miller's honest admission on GT loss after last-over finish vs RCB

David Miller hit two sixes in the final over as Delhi Capitals beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets in their IPL match on Saturday, completing a turnaround after his recent failure in a similar situation.

Chasing 176, DC needed 15 runs from the last over. Miller kept his composure and struck Romario Shepherd for two sixes to take the team home with one ball to spare. The result came days after he faced criticism for not finishing a chase against Gujarat Titans when DC needed two runs off two balls.

Miller said he was relieved to finish the job this time. "Feels really good. After that game the other night, was a disappointing game, but to get it done today feels good. It's always going to be at the back of the mind till you win another game," he said after the match.

"Mentally just trying to stay in the moment and do what I can. They bowled six yorkers to me and I couldn't really get going but chuffed it came off in the last six overs.”

He also spoke about his partnership with Tristan Stubbs, who remained not out on 60. "We wanted to try and finish it in the second-to-last over always, but with as many runs needed, we knew we needed one or two sixes. So we just tried to limit the dot balls and take the boundary balls," he said.

"There were lot of breaks in the game so our minds were a bit all over the place. When I walked out, Stubbo said to me to keep the intensity really high and that helped. Always good finishing off games with Stubbo… for him being there was massive for us."

Stubbs, who came in with DC at 18 for three, said he focused on keeping things simple. "I wasn't quite ready in the changing room. I just thought of watching the ball and going from there. Came in really early and last two overs of the powerplay I thought I could have a go,” he said.

"KL ended up having most of the strike and played great shots and kept up our momentum. I thought he's going well so I was just giving him the strike.”

He said he believed the chase was possible, especially with Miller at the other end. "Kept thinking three sixes and we're straight back in it. I always thought the worst case, in the last over we can get whatever we need. But I didn't want to take it into the last over.

"I knew we were going to do it, I didn't know how. But thankfully Miller was at the other end. It's his bread and butter," he added.
