South Africa's tour of Sri Lanka: Five Proteas players who can make an impact

1. Hashim Amla

The opening-batsman has proved himself in the shorter version of game as well, even though he retains the strictly traditional style of batting. He is a fluent driver, presents a straight bat, and times the ball beautifully. He played a pleasing knock of 81 runs against Pakistan in a crucial Champions Trophy encounter and has been in-form ever since he made his return to the Proteas side. His career average of over 55.00 runs in the shorter format of the game looks even more impressive considering that he has made these runs batting at the top of the innings negotiating with the new ball. He will be given the responsibility of laying down the groundwork for a massive total.
