South African batter David Miller’s wife, Camilla Harris, shared an emotional message on social media after he scored a stunning unbeaten century in the 2025 Champions Trophy semi-final against New Zealand. The match took place on Wednesday, March 5, at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium. Opting to bat first, New Zealand posted a massive total of 362/6 in 50 overs. Rachin Ravindra led the charge with a brilliant 108 off 101 balls, smashing 13 fours and a six. Kane Williamson added 102 off 94 balls, hitting 10 fours and two sixes.
Daryl Mitchell (49 from 37) and Glenn Phillips (an unbeaten 49 off 27) also played crucial knocks.
In response, South Africa got off to a solid start, with captain Temba Bavuma (56) and Rassie van der Dussen (69) scoring half-centuries.
However, after van der Dussen’s dismissal, the middle order crumbled, leaving the Proteas struggling at 218/8. Miller then fought back with a sensational 100* off just 67 balls—the fastest century in Champions Trophy history. He dedicated his celebration to his newborn son, Benjamin, but despite his heroic effort, South Africa fell short by 50 runs, finishing at 312/9. Following the match, Miller’s wife, Camilla, shared a video of his century moment on Instagram Stories, accompanied by a heartfelt message.
“100 not out. Beyond proud of you my baby! Your celebration for our special Banji had me in tears. We love you, my champ.”
The couple welcomed their son, Benjamin, on January 30 this year. With the win, New Zealand advanced to the final, where they will face India on Sunday, March 9, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Miller, who made his T20I debut for South Africa in 2010 against the West Indies, has played 130 matches, scoring 2,591 runs at an average of 33.21, with eight fifties and two centuries. In ODIs, he has featured in 178 games, amassing 4,611 runs at an impressive average of 42.30, including 24 half-centuries and seven centuries.
