#4 Hashim Amla
The experienced South African opener has entered England on the back of a good IPL, where he smashed two hundreds for the Kings XI franchise in the recently concluded IPL. An exquisite timer of the ball, Amla enjoys batting in the powerplay overs. The tracks in England are flat and hard this time around, which would make Amla an even bigger threat.
The Proteas opener wasn't in the best of nicks when Sri Lanka toured South Africa a few months back (except for a smashing 154), he has since found his mojo back. In the company of a belligerent opener like Quinton de Kock, Amla can milk the bowlers for some easy runs. He has also added some power hitting to his repertoire, which should stand him in good stead in the tournament.
