Top 5 blistering hundreds in 2016 in ODIs

#2 David Miller 118* (79) vs Australia, Durban (Strike Rate – 149)

Miller was at his destructive best against Australia

Without a shred of doubt, David Miller is one of the most feared batsmen in world cricket in the limited-overs format. His hard-hitting skills make him indispensable to the South African side, which is already teeming with many top-notch batsmen like Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers.

This was a series in which Australia was outplayed thoroughly by a rampaging South African team. Having suffered massive defeats in the first two ODIs in the five-match series, the Aussies needed to win the third match to stay afloat. Thanks to centuries from David Warner and Steven Smith, the Kangaroos posted a humongous total of 371/6 and seemed hot favourites to win the contest.

But all hopes of an Australian victory died a gory death when Miller went on the rampage. Batting very much in a manner reminiscent of the destructive Lance Klusener, Miller reached the century mark at a galloping pace. His unbeaten 118 off just 79 deliveries put the centuries of Warner and Smith in the shade and steered the Proteas to the second highest run chase in ODI history.
