A victory for South Africa will assure them a place in next week’s semi-finals, while at the same time knocking Pakistan out of the competition.

Temba Bavuma’s undefeated team is presently second in Group 2 of the Super 12 stages with five points from three games, one behind leaders India. Bangladesh (four points) is third, followed by Zimbabwe (three), Pakistan and the Netherlands (both two).

"We all know that every game at the World Cup is a big game and Pakistan are always a team that you need to face with your A-game. Just making sure we stick to our processes and things that have worked in the past is what we need to do tomorrow. They are a great team and have some serious match-winners, but we'll be up for it."

The Proteas stunned India in the previous game to put themselves in a strong position to reach the last four. Some of their top-order batters failed in that game, bringing other players lower down the order into play. Miller was one of those who shone and the big-hitting star conceded that South Africa was not a one-player team.

"I suppose we are finding lots of ways to win," he explained. "We've done it over a period of time now, probably the last year when we found ourselves in tricky situations and managed to get over the line. I think the continuity of the squad over time, guys have managed to find their roles, if one guy isn't doing well, another guy picks up the slack.

"It's difficult to be successful in this format due to all the variables but we've managed to do well and play as a team. Everyone is really putting in the hard work as a team because, going into a competition such as this, you will need one or two games where you need your all-rounders and lower order to contribute."

The fast bowlers played a key role in the win over the Indians when they restricted one of the pre-tournament favourites to a total of just over 130. Miller says the performances of their pacemen were a massive plus for the squad.

He continued: "Yeah, (it definitely breeds confidence). Especially being in Australia, where our pace attack has done great things over the years. Like I said over the years, the squad's come into their own, especially as a bowling unit, the guys are bowling with great energy, a lot of pace and that's what we need here in Australia. We also have Marco (Jansen) on the bench, which is great. So yeah, the guys are in a good space, we need to stick to the process and stay in the moment."

Pakistan has a strong spin attack led by Shadab Khan, which might have been a concern for the Proteas in the past. But this time around, Miller believes they are prepared.

"We've done well playing against both India and Pakistan in their conditions the last couple of years," he added. "As a squad we've focused a lot on playing spin during this period. The guys have definitely prepared well. So, it's something we're aware of, but the guys definitely have the skills to perform against the Pakistan spinners. We're definitely up for it, we're taking it one game at a time. Yes, we are in a great position on the table but there's still a lot to do."
