Former Proteas opening batter Alviro Petersen says the South African top order must fire on all cylinders when they take on England in the must-win ICC T20 World Cup match on Saturday.
The Proteas are up against on-form England, who have won all their four group matches, in what is effectively a shoot-out at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
“I know that you can’t consistently do that when you look at individual batters but as a team you must at least be able to do it with one or two of the batters. Markram is the only South African player to have scored a half century at the tournament for the Proteas with Bavuma, Van der Dussen and Hendricks having had good starts.
