South Africa masters are set to take on England in their next match in the International Masters League T20 on Monday. Both sides have played two games and lost both their matches. It is a key match for both sides if they want to keep their hopes alive in the tournament. South Africa began the campaign with losses to Sri Lanka and India and will hope to stem the rot against England.
England were thrashed by India by nine wickets inside 12 overs in their first match of the campaign. This was followed by a loss to West Indies by eight runs in what was a high scoring encounter. Eoin Morgan will want to rally around his troops and hopefully put up a better showing with the bat.
Here are the top three batters to watch out for in the England Masters vs South Africa masters IMLT20 game
3- Eoin Morgan
Former England skipper Eoin Morgan has been one of the better batters for his side during the ongoing tournament. Despite retiring from the game, Morgan hasn’t slowed down and shown his batting skills are still intact. The left-handed batter has shown his attacking form with the bat for England in what has been a below par showing so far this campaign. If Morgan has to help England win then he must lead the team from the front with the bat.
2- Phil Mustard
Wicketkeeper batter Phil Mustard has been giving England attacking starts with the bat. Mustard scored 31 runs off just 19 balls in the previous match against West Indies while chasing 180 to win. The left-handed batter was known as a naturally attacking star in his heydays with the bat. Mustard hasn’t skipper a beat and can go after the bowlers in the first six overs of the game.
1- Hashim Amla
Legendary South African batter Hashim Amla began IMLT20 with his knock of 76 in the game against Sri Lanka. Amla showed his full range of shots and yet again emphasized why he was the best batter in the world in the 2010’s. Amla has been opening the batting for his side and will look to give his team a great start once again with the bat in hand and help them win the game.
