Australia need 173 to win the T20 series against South Africa after game two centurion Dewald Brevis again put on a show at Cazaly’s Stadium in Cairns, as his maximums caused trouble for not just Australia but a member of the crowd as well.

Nathan Ellis (3/31), Adam Zampa (2/24) and Josh Hazlewood (2/30) were all excellent with the ball after Australian captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and elected the bowl first.

But Brevis went ballistic again in the middle overs, launching four sixes in one Aaron Hardie over to bring up his half-century from just 22 deliveries.

The 22-year-old fell shortly after for 53 off 26, superbly caught in the deep by a diving Glenn Maxwell after he miscued a Nathan Ellis slower ball bouncer.

Brevis launched six sixes in his half century, three of which went out of the ground and four of his sixes were launched 100 metres or further.

The biggest was a 120m bomb over long on that could have caused a lot more damage than it did to a local fan who crashed into a fence, which it cleared, trying to take a spectacular crowd catch.

Cricket’s commentary team were in fits of laughter as the fan was okay, with former Australian leg spinner Kerry O’Keeffe jokingly asking, “is he impaled?”.

Brevis was Ellis’ second scalp of the night however, after removing Lhuan-dre Pretorius (24 off 15) by also taking pace off the shorter delivery.

Adam Zampa also showed that a lack of pace is the way to go on the Cairns pitch, picking up opener Ryan Rickelton (13 off 13) after he top edged a sweep shot from a Zampa wrong-un wide outside off stump.

The leg spinner almost had Brevis in his first over too, but Maxwell unable to hang on to a diving effort at long on.

Rassie van der Dussen also played an impressive knock, finishing unbeaten on 38 off 26.
