MICT vs PR: No-Ball or Not? Dewald Brevis Gets a Second Chance and Makes It Count in SA20 Qualifier
Dewald Brevis played an important innings after getting second chance, finishing unbeaten on 44 runs from 30 balls
The first qualifier of SA20 2025 between MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals is happening at St George Park. Paarl Royals’ captain David Miller won the toss and decided to bowl first. MI Cape Town, led by Rashid Khan, came out to bat.
During the match, a controversial umpiring decision grabbed attention. Dewald Brevis was dismissed on a full toss, and the on-field umpire gave him out. However, after a review, the decision was overturned, and it was declared a no-ball.
Umpiring Call Changes the Game
The incident took place on the last ball of the 16th over. Dayyaan Galiem bowled a full toss, and Brevis hit it straight to the fielder at deep square leg. The umpire gave him out, but the height of the ball was checked. Since Brevis was crouching, it became a tough call for the TV umpire. After reviewing the footage, the third umpire ruled it a no-ball, and Brevis got a free hit.
At that moment, Brevis was on 16 runs. After surviving, he made full use of the opportunity and hit a big six immediately. He continued his innings and played a crucial role in MI Cape Town’s batting.
MI Cape Town Posts a Big Total
MI Cape Town batted well and put up a strong total of 199 runs for the loss of four wickets in 20 overs. Ryan Rickelton and Rassie van der Dussen provided a solid start, both scoring over 40 runs.
After their dismissals, Brevis played an important innings, finishing unbeaten on 44 runs from 30 balls. Delano Potgieter also made a quick 32 runs to boost the total in the final overs.
For Paarl Royals, Dunith Wellalage was the best bowler, taking two wickets while giving away only 23 runs in his four overs. Bjorn Fortuin and Dayyaan Galiem picked up one wicket each, but the rest of the bowlers were expensive.
With a target of 200 runs, Paarl Royals will have to bat aggressively to secure a place in the final.
