Australia Men's Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team Timeline: South Africa all-rounder Corbin Bosch came under the scanner for a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct during the second T20I against Australia, which took place at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin on Tuesday. As per ICC release, Bosch violated Article 2.5 of the Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which translates to "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match", as per the ICC.

For the unversed, the incident happened during Australia's innings when Bosch, after dismissing Ben Dwarshuis, gestured towards the player's dugout in an aggressive send-off, which invoked a reaction from the batter.

Bosch has been given one demerit point, which has been added to his disciplinary record. The 30-year-old accepted the sanction proposed by the ICC Match Officials, eliminating the need for a formal hearing.

South Africa Level Series 1-1

South Africa, who were facing Australia in a do-or-die match, crafted an important win for themselves to force a decider.

After a shaky start, the visitors were lifted by a brilliant knock from young Dewald Brevis, whose unbeaten 125 off just 56 balls powered them to 218/7. The 22-year-old, who reached his century in just 41 balls, became the youngest Men's T20I centurion for South Africa and recorded the second-fastest T20I ton for his country.
