South Africa vs Australia T20I: In a stunning display of power-hitting, Dewald Brevis bludgeoned his way to a brilliant century off 41 balls in the second T20I match against Australia at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin on Tuesday.
Brevis engraved his name in the history books as he became the first South African cricketer to score a century in T20Is against Australia.
Before Brevis' record-breaking feat, Proteas legend Hashim Amla held the honour of scoring the most runs in T20I against Australia with a match-defining 97 not out from 62 balls.
The 22-year-old right-handed batter's knock, who came out to bat at No. 4 for the Proteas, was a sight to behold, with 9 fours and 8 sixes flying off his bat.
