Stuart Broad: 'South Africa haven't fired yet'

England captain Stuart Broad is wary that South Africa's batsmen are yet to fire in the World Twenty20 ahead of their match against the Proteas in Chittagong on Saturday.

Stuart Broad has admitted that England will have to be wary of South Africa's big guns finding form when they meet in the World Twenty20 on Saturday.

The Proteas have won two of their first three matches at the tournament in Bangladesh, but have largely been reliant on strike bowler Dale Steyn to secure them narrow victories over New Zealand and Netherlands.

Of their batsmen, only JP Duminy has made a half-century in South Africa's group-stage games, and so Broad has confessed it is a little ominous that the likes of AB de Villiers are due a score.

"South Africa probably haven't fired as you would expect in this tournament so far with the danger they've got but they had key men getting them over the line," Broad told reporters.

De Villers will captain the Proteas in Chittagong tomorrow, with usual skipper Faf du Plessis banned after being charged for the team's slow over rate against Netherlands.
