Young South African batter Dewald Brevis entertained the crowd with an outrageous no-look six during the SA20 clash between MI Cape Town and Pretoria Capitals. Dewald Brevis also regained his batting form after a string of poor scores in the ongoing T20 tournament.

Brevis scored a blistering half-century for MI Cape Town at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Thursday, February 1. The right-handed batter remained unbeaten with 66 off 32 balls, including six maximums and three boundaries, as his team posted a mammoth 248/4.

Watch – Dewald Brevis’s No Look Six In SA20

Dewald Brevis smashed the no-look six during the 19th over of Cape Town’s innings. Daryn Dupavilion bowled a full-length delivery, which Brevis lofted miles up in the air towards wide long-on for a six. He didn’t look where the ball went after playing the shot.

Ryan Rickelton scored an impressive 90 runs off 45 balls with the help of 10 boundaries and five sixes. Skipper Kieron Pollard contributed a quick cameo to help the team finish with a good total. Pollard scored 27 runs off seven deliveries, including two fours and three sixes.

Pretoria Capitals’ captain Wayne Parnell picked up three wickets but gave away 57 runs in his four-over spell. Daryn Dupavillon secured one wicket for 73 runs in his full-over quota. Will Jacks proved to be the Capitals’ best bowler, conceding only 24 runs in his four overs.

MICT dominated early in the second innings, limiting the Capitals to 42/6 in 5.4 overs. However, Kyle Verreynne showed resilience and reduced the margin of the defeat. Verreynne added an unbeaten 85-run partnership with Adil Rashid for the ninth wicket in the chase.

Verreynne scored a remarkable 116-run unbeaten innings in 52 balls, featuring seven fours and nine sixes. Despite Verreynne’s outstanding effort, the Pretoria Capitals managed to score 214/8 in 20 overs. However, the Capitals denied MI Cape Town a bonus point win.

MI Cape Town secured the third position in the 6-team points table with 13 points. Meanwhile, the Pretoria Capitals is at the bottom with 10 points. The top three teams in the table have already qualified for the playoffs, leaving the fourth spot open for contention.

It Was Unbelievable – Dewald Brevis

In a mid-match show conversation with AB de Villiers, Dewald Brevis expressed his joy at regaining form and acknowledged the support of skipper Kieron Pollard during his lean patch with the bat in SA20.

“This has been an interesting time. Firstly, I have to thank god for this. At the end of the tunnel, there is light. Grateful to contribute to the team and to have a great score,” Brevis said.

“[on batting with Pollard] It was unbelievable. He told me to wait after a slower ball and I took one and gave the strike to him. That gave us the momentum. Really enjoyed to be out there in front of my home crowd. I love it here. I back us all the way and we will give it our all,” he added.
