South Africa top order looking in good nick ahead of the World Cup opener

By Cricketnmore Editorial May 27, 2019 • 10:33 AM View: 2008

May 27 (CRICKETNMORE) - South Africa’s top-order put the finishing touches on their World Cup preparations in a rain-affected encounter against West Indies in Bristol. Hashim Amla scored his second, successive half-century, off just 44 balls, after finding form in the first warm-up match on Friday.

There, Amla’s touch and timing was apparent, here, he was fine-tuning, turning the wrists over and scoring quickly.
