In a spectacular display in Darwin on August 12, 2025, South Africa's Dewald Brevis scored a sensational 125 not out off just 56 balls, setting a new high score mark for South Africa in T20 Internationals.
Backing him up, Tristan Stubbs contributed with a solid 31 off 22 in a crucial 126-run partnership for the fourth wicket. South Africa set a formidable total of 218/7 in 20 overs, with Brevis continuing to dominate until the end.
Australia opted to bowl first after winning the toss, hoping to leverage the expected dew in the second innings. Their bowlers made breakthroughs—with Zampa, Maxwell, and Dwarshuis each picking wickets—but struggled to contain Brevis's onslaught.
As Australia began the chase, early wickets left them 58/2 at the end of the Powerplay, with the required run rate climbing toward a daunting 12 runs per over.
