Taking to bowl first, Australia regretted their decision as South Africa reached 218-7 with much of the credit going to Brevis scoring his first international century.
The 22 year old who had already set the national T20 record of 162 hit 12 fours and eight sixes, 66 runs in ‘v’ and saved his team after delivering it in 57-3. Brevis also had driven a 126-run partnership with Tristan Stubbs, and owned the innings.
The Australian pursuit was setback at the beginning, with the openers, Travis Head (5) and Cameron Green (9) being dismissed inexpensively. In-form Tim David attempted to base the innings with big hits, blasting boundaries and colossal sixes but was caught by Kagiso Rabada on 50 off 24 balls.
