Dewald Brevis has lit up the 2nd T20I between South Africa and Australia with a sensational maiden T20I century, reaching the milestone in just 41 balls, the second-fastest ton ever for a South African in T20Is, behind only David Miller’s 35-ball blitz in 2017. 

At just 22, Dewald Brevis has also become the youngest South African to score a T20I hundred, announcing himself on the big stage with a performance that oozed power, timing, and confidence.

South Africa Gains Back Momentum With Brevis' Strike

As the match stands live, South Africa are flying high at 174-3 in 15.2 overs, scoring at an electrifying 11.35 runs per over. Stubbs is playing the perfect foil with 23 off 17, rotating the strike and letting Brevis dictate the tempo. The partnership of 117 runs between the two has completely turned the tide in South Africa’s favour after early wickets threatened to derail the innings.

With just under five overs to go, South Africa are on course for a mammoth total, possibly pushing well beyond 220 if Brevis continues his onslaught.
