South African cricketer Dewald Brevis delivered a record-breaking performance in the second T20 International against Australia in Darwin on August 12, 2025. Brevis scored an unbeaten 125 runs off 56 balls, including 12 fours and 8 sixes, with a strike rate of 223.21. This innings marked his maiden T20I century and the highest individual T20I score for South Africa, surpassing Faf du Plessis' previous record. Brevis reached his hundred in just 41 balls, taking only 16 balls to progress from fifty to hundred, making it the second-fastest T20I century for South Africa. His explosive batting helped South Africa post a commanding total of 218 runs, their highest-ever T20I total against Australia. This victory ended Australia's nine-game winning streak in T20 Internationals and leveled the three-match series at 1-1. Brevis, South Africa's youngest T20I centurion, formed a 100-run partnership with Tristan Stubbs during the innings. Following this performance, Brevis has risen in prominence and is considered a rising star in South African cricket. The series decider is scheduled to be played in Cairns, with Australia making three changes to their squad and winning the toss to bowl first. Brevis continued his aggressive batting in the final match, hitting multiple sixes early in the innings.
