Live Update: Australia Commence Chasing South Africa's 219 in the 2nd T20I, Thanks to Brevis' Spectacular Performance
In a thrilling turn of events at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin, South Africa's Dewald Brevis made history by becoming the youngest South African to score a T20I century. His unbeaten 125 runs, the highest T20I score by a South African, helped South Africa post a formidable total of 218/7[1][2][3][5].
Brevis's innings, which included eight sixes and twelve fours, came off just 56 balls. He reached his half-century in 25 balls[4], a testament to his aggressive and skillful batting. His performance was instrumental in ending Australia's nine-match winning streak in T20 internationals[2][5].
The Australian captain for the 2nd T20I, Mitchell Marsh, won the toss and decided to bowl first[6]. The Australian squad included names like Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Cameron Green, Tim David, Mitchell Owen, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Matthew Short, Sean Abbott, Aaron Hardie, and Matthew Kuhnemann[9].
South Africa's squad for the match included Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, George Linde, Corbin Bosch, Senuran Muthusamy, Kagiso Rabada, Kwena Maphaka, Lungi Ngidi, Rassie van der Dussen, Prenelan Subrayen, Nandre Burger, and Nqabayomzi Peter[10].
Ryan Rickelton and Aiden Markram began well for South Africa, but the pitch for the match did not seem conducive for strokeplay[8]. Tristan Stubbs was batting on eight off eight[7]. Ben Dwarshius, who came into the attack during the 3rd over of the South African innings, finished with two wickets for 24 runs in his four overs[5].
