Record Broke By Dewald Brevis vs Australia: Dewald Brevis lit up the Marrara Cricket Ground with a blistering unbeaten 125 from just 56 deliveries, as South Africa set Australia a target of 219 in the second T20I. The 22-year-old’s innings, reached in 41 balls, is the highest individual score against Australia in T20Is and makes him the youngest South African to score a century in the format.
In a further statistical curiosity, Brevis became only the second cricketer, after teammate Reeza Hendricks, to take 20 or more runs off five different bowlers in a T20I. His assault read: 30 from Glenn Maxwell, 26 from Josh Hazlewood, 26 from Adam Zampa, 22 from Sean Abbott, and 21 from Ben Dwarshuis.
South Africa’s start was rocky, slipping to 57 for 3, but Brevis and Tristan Stubbs (part of a 126-run stand) wrested back control. A stronger finish might have pushed the total beyond 230, yet 218 was enough to test the hosts.
Having dropped the first game, Aiden Markram’s men will aim to square the series, banking on the pace threat of Kwena Maphaka, outstanding with four scalps in the opener, alongside the experience of Kagiso Rabada.
For Australia, a brisk opening and another decisive innings from Tim David will be essential to chase down the Proteas’ imposing total.
