Sunrisers Eastern Cape suffers a huge loss against the MI Cape Town
The first match of SA20 Season 3 could not have gotten off to a better start. As the boy viewed as having “baby AB” as his middle name stunned spectators, Dewald Brevis, who clearly possesses that quality batting talent, struck the ball particularly hard during his 57 runs off only 29 balls, including a no-look six; MI Cape Town proudly marched away with a huge 97-run win against Sunrisers Eastern Cape in Gqeberha.
Dewald Brevis Great Knock
MI Cape Town had a rough start, with both Reeza Hendricks (0) and Rassie van der Dussen (16) getting out early. Brevis then stepped up into the innings and showed off his amazing shot-making talent.
The eye-popper was clearing the front leg for a massive no-look six over wide long-on off Beyers Swanepoel in the 13th over, leaving the spectators in awe. Just after that, he backed himself up with another mammoth 82-metre shot, once again proving that he is one of those fearless hitters in the game.
Strong Finishing by MI Cape Town
Together with Colin Ingram (22) and Connor Esterhuizen (22), Brevis made what seems to be a steady platform for MI Cape Town, with a final power finish by Delano Potgieter (25 not out off 12 balls) and George Linde (23 not out off 17) to end the innings competitively on 174/7.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape on Comedown
Sunrisers Eastern Cape puffed and puffed into harakiri by an overwhelming 175-run chase. First, Trent Boult demolished the upper tip with an explosive spell, getting both Zak Crawley (12) and Tom Abell (0) out in the same over.
However, the shining star in the bowling attacks was Delano Potgieter, who scored a fantastic five-on-ten, including a match-winning three-wicket over. Captain Aiden Markram (19) showed some resistance, but the remaining ten lost steam completely, leaving the team languishing on a meager 77 runs.
Final Thoughts – Dewald Brevis
Dewald Brevis’ scintillating innings combined with this well-rounded performance by MI Cape Town sets the perfect tone for SA20 Season 3. With the no-look six stealing the limelight, Brevis is justifying his tag as one of cricket’s most exciting young talents.
