England's one-day captain Eoin Morgan wants their batsman to cash-in when they play South Africa in two T20 matches.

England skipper Eoin Morgan says there is no question of any players being rested for this weekend's pair of Twenty20 internationals against South Africa.

Instead, Morgan wants the first-choice side to register a morale-boosting pair of victories ahead of next month's ICC World Twenty20.

The tourists will face South Africa in Cape Town on Friday before the second match takes place in Johannesburg on Sunday.

And the sides will then meet again next month in a World Twenty20 group stage match in Mumbai.

"Our best team at the moment, we're very close to selecting it or having a really good idea of what it is," said Morgan.

"Which is good, considering we're a few weeks out from a 'World Cup'.

"Nobody will be rested over the next two games. They are games we really want to win.

"Twenty20 is very funny in that regard. When momentum is with you, it can be very kind, but also if you're struggling to gain it, it can be brutal.

"If you're trying to turn round momentum, and gain wins, it's a terrible game.

"But if you have momentum with you, everything seems to click."

It has been suggested that England have more potential match-winners with bat than ball but Morgan disputes that suggestion.

Paceman Steven Finn remains absent but the captain has plenty of faith in spinners Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali, and left-arm seamers Reece Topley and David Willey.

"I think this attack can win games for us," said Morgan.

"With the spin department covered, and the two left-armers coming in and being a threat up front, it adds a huge dynamic to our game.

"A big strength is the fact we do bat deep. But with these strings to our bow (with the ball), it makes us a bigger threat."

Morgan could only manage scores of eight, two and two in the final three matches of the one-day series but returned to form on Wednesday with 42 from just 13 balls in the warm-up match against South Africa A.

"I haven't felt out of form, just short on runs, and it was nice to come in and play with the freedom I like playing with," he said.

"I'd like to come out and score some runs in these next two games. It might happen, it might not but I'll stay true to what's worked for me in recent times.

"That has come with experience."
