South Africa level T20 series after Brevis ton flattens Australia

Brevis smashes an unbeaten 125 off 56 balls to set up their emphatic 53-run victory

South Africa levelled the three-match Twenty20 series against Australia after Dewald Brevis smashed an unbeaten 125 off 56 balls to set up their emphatic 53-run victory in the second match in Darwin on Tuesday.

Brevis smashed the highest score by a South African batsman in a T20 International to power the tourists to a commanding 218-7 despite a top order wobble at the Marrara Stadium.

Australia were bundled out for 165 in 17.4 overs as their nine-match winning streak in the format came to an end.

Player of the match Brevis said after being reminded of his record: "I haven't really thought of it like that, to be honest, but I'm just extremely grateful to God and it's been great.
