Here are the top 3 batters to watch out for in the match between India Masters and the South African Masters in the IMLT20 –
Hashim Amla
Hashim Amla was one of the best batters across all formats during his prime in the second half of the 2000s and the 2010s. The star batter proved he could step up even in T20 cricket despite having a technique suitable and more pronounced for the longer formats like Tests and ODIs.
Amla batted well in the South African Masters’ first match of the league against Sri Lankan Masters. The star batter scored 76 runs in 53 balls and was his team’s highest run scorer against Sri Lankan Masters. He would love to continue on the good form to further help South Africa with his batting.
Stuart Binny
Stuart Binny played a very good knock in the match against the Sri Lankan Masters. The star All-rounder shined with the bat by scoring 68 runs in 31 balls against Sri Lanka Masters. His knock helped India to claim their second win of the tournament. Binny has been one of the best finishers of the league so far.
Stuart showed he still had it in him to smash some of the best bowlers of his time. He will be key for India to get good finishes in the upcoming matches. As the South African Masters have a good bowling attack, Binny’s finishing is essential for India to post a good total on the board.
Gurkeerat Singh Mann
Gurkeerat is the leading run scorer of the tournament so far. The former Indian player has taken the tournament by a pleasant surprise with his batting performances. The right-handed batter has 107 runs in 2 innings at a sensational batting average of 107.00 and a great batting strike rate of 159.70.
He has smashed 17 fours and a six in the league so far. Gurkeerat smashed 63 runs in 35 balls against England Masters. He scored 44 runs in 32 balls against Sri Lanka Masters. In both the games for India, Singh played a key role and was fortunate to open alongside Sachin Tendulkar and even out batted him.
