I think it&#8217;s just comparing to what we have done batting first, which has been exceptional.<br \/>&#8220;We haven&#8217;t been horrific chasing, it&#8217;s just been one or two games where we slipped up, which is part of the game.<br \/>&#8220;We have spoken about and dissected that. It&#8217;s just about making sure that we&#8217;ve got that platform and giving ourselves the best chance to chase down a total.&#8221;<br \/>Miller was wary of Afghanistan, who have beaten three former champions in the tournament and still have mathematical chances of making the semi-finals.<br \/>&#8220;They&#8217;re a team that&#8217;s certainly growing in confidence. They&#8217;ve showed that they can compete. I mean this World Cup they&#8217;ve done really, really well, beaten some big teams,&#8221; Miller said.<br \/>&#8220;They&#8217;re a really strong team, and they have a chance to make the semi-finals. So, it&#8217;s good to see.<br \/>&#8220;That&#8217;s the joy of World Cup. You see different teams doing well&#8230;It&#8217;s great to see and good for cricket.&#8221; <br \/><span class=\"strong\">(With Reuters inputs)<\/span><\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n,
