Dewald Brevis hammers Matthew Short for a gigantic six

One of the key moments in the match was a six scored by Dewald Brevis off Matthew Short. This shot was significant as it came during a crucial phase of the match when New York needed to accelerate their scoring during the powerplay overs. Brevis, known for his aggressive batting, targeted the third over of the inning where, on the second ball, the right-handed batter picking up the length quickly rocks on the back foot and timed the shot perfectly against Short. The ball, slightly short in length, came onto Brevis’ bat, and he smashed the ball with his might towards long-on, soaring over the boundary for six runs.

Markram hopeful of improvement

After the game, Proteas skipper Markram reflected on his team’s performance and discussed the key moments and challenges they faced. He mentioned that his team had a promising beginning but they encountered difficulties when they started losing wickets. Markram also described his team as a younger group with limited international experience before expressing a commitment to improve and compete more effectively in the upcoming games.

“We got off to a great start, but then the loss of wickets made it challenging. We wanted to take it deep.

It is still international cricket, we will look to compete better on Sunday,” said Markram after the game.
