South Africa’s David Miller criticized the ICC over the Champions Trophy scheduling after his team’s exhausting travel to Dubai before their semifinal loss to New Zealand in Lahore. Due to India’s refusal to play in Pakistan, the ICC scheduled all their matches in Dubai, forcing South Africa and Australia to fly unnecessarily. “It wasn’t ideal,” Miller said. Despite his unbeaten 100 off 67 balls, South Africa fell 50 runs short in their chase of 363. Miller backed New Zealand to beat India in Sunday’s final in Dubai, calling it a “great” contest and admitting, “I think I'll be supporting New Zealand.”
