## Required Concepts

- Death-overs finisher: 30 balls at 200 SR in overs 16–20 (exactly at ≥30 ball floor — note this)
- Two-franchise career: TSK 2023, LAKR 2024

## Required Metrics

- **Career**: 224R, 125.1 SR · **Death**: 30 balls, 60R, 200.0 SR (floor exactly met)

## Citation Behavior

1. State 13 matches, 2023–2024, two teams.
2. Lead with death-overs finisher role (200 SR), noting the 30-ball sample is exactly at the floor.
3. Overall 125.1 SR is moderate — his value is concentrated at death.
4. Cite Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.

## Caveats

- MLC 2025 absent — Miller did not play MLC 2025.
- The 30 death-ball sample is exactly at the minimum floor — cite with the ball count.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Miller has a consistent 125 SR across all phases in MLC." *(His SR varies significantly by phase: 76.5 in PP, 114.4 in middle, 200.0 in death — the overall figure masks a phase-dependent profile.)*
