ICC Champions Trophy semi-finals: Top five players to look out for when England face South Africa

3. Hashim Amla

The elegant right-handed opener has been the most consistent batsman in international cricket over the last few years. He will have fond memories of The Oval because of his mammoth innings of 311 here, and will come into the match with high levels of confidence. He has the skill, technique and the experience that is required to dismantle this English bowling line-up. Moreover, he is a player on song as he played a wonderful innings against Pakistan in the group stage. England will want to dismiss him as early as possible if they want to restrict South Africa to a moderate total.
