Battles to watch at Newlands tonight.

Hashim Amla v Pat Cummins

The 18-year-old rookie paceman is an express train, and will want to show that he is the successor to an ageing Brett Lee. He bowls at 150km/h and will unleash few some vicious missiles at Amla early on. It will be an interesting challenge for Amla, especially as he comes to terms with playing the shortest format of the game. But just like the bearded-wonder adapted and then excelled in one-day cricket after being labelled a Test specialist previously, he will soon be flaying ball through the covers with disdain. If Amla gets into a rhythm, it might be a memorable debut for Cummins.

Graeme Smith v Doug Bollinger
