South Africa 148/1 after 15 overs as Dewald Brevis falls in Windhoek T20I Tri-Series match

South Africa were 148/1 after 15 overs in their T20I Tri-Series game against Zimbabwe at the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek on September 1, 2026, when Dewald Brevis was caught off Brad Evans. Lhuan-dre Pretorius reached a fifty during the stand before Brevis’s departure.

The innings was led by the partnership between Pretorius and Brevis, with South Africa passing 100 and later reaching 150 during the powerplay and middle overs. Pretorius brought up his fifty off 27 balls, recorded as his 2nd T20I fifty, while Brevis provided aggressive support with several boundaries and sixes.

Brevis struck multiple big shots, including consecutive sixes off Kundai Matigimu and earlier sixes off Brad Evans, and drove boundaries through the covers against Sikandar Raza and others. He was finally beaten by a lofted attempt that carried to long off, where Sikandar Raza completed the catch to dismiss him.

Pretorius reached his half-century with a pull through mid-wicket off Brad Evans and produced his own aerial and placement shots, including a flat six over long off and a drilled four through extra cover. Wellington Masakadza had an opportunity to remove Pretorius when a short, on-off delivery produced a top edge to short fine leg, but the fielder spilled the catch and conceded a single.

South Africa’s innings showed continued rotation of strike and boundary-hitting from both batsmen, with Brevis adding boundaries off bowlers including Sikandar Raza and Kundai Matigimu and Pretorius finding runs through mid-wicket and point. The scoreboard milestones of 100 and 150 were recorded during their partnership.

After Brevis’s dismissal, Connor Esterhuizen walked to the crease and faced Brad Evans, who conceded a single on his first delivery. At the time of this update South Africa remained at 148/1 after 15 overs.
