In a thrilling display of aggressive batting, young cricket sensation Dewald Brevis smashed his way into the record books with the fastest T20I fifty for South Africa. During the climactic third T20I against Australia at Cazaly's Stadium, Brevis's performance was nothing short of extraordinary.

Brevis broke multiple records, achieving this milestone in just 22 balls and surpassing his own 25-ball record from earlier in the series. His explosive innings included a sequence of powerful sixes, surpassing former achievements by JP Duminy and Ravi Bopara. However, his dismissal by Nathan Ellis significantly hampered South Africa's innings.

Earlier, Brevis demonstrated his ability to dominate the bowling attack during the second T20I in Darwin, where he scored an unbeaten 125 off 56 balls. This innings stands as the second-fastest century for South Africa in T20 cricket, second only to David Miller's record. His fearless approach has drawn comparisons with AB de Villiers, earning him the nickname 'Baby AB'.
