Australia suffered a heavy defeat in the second T20I against South Africa as the hosts powered to a commanding 53-run win, thanks to a stunning innings from Dewald Brevis.

Batting first, South Africa posted a formidable total, with Brevis stealing the show by smashing an unbeaten 125 runs. His explosive knock came off just 66 balls, featuring a flurry of boundaries and towering sixes that left the Australian bowlers struggling for answers. Supported by timely cameos from fellow batters, South Africa set a target that put the visitors under immense pressure.

In reply, Australia faltered early in their chase, losing key wickets at regular intervals. Despite brief resistance from the middle order, the required run rate kept climbing, and South Africa’s bowlers maintained control throughout the innings. Tight spells from their pace and spin attack ensured Australia fell well short of the target.

With this win, South Africa take a 1-0 lead in the T20I series after the opening match was washed out. Brevis’s blistering century will be remembered as one of the finest in recent T20I history, and the home side will look to carry this momentum into the decider.
