Being put to field first by Titans, the Knights smashed 271/3 in their 20 overs. This huge score came courtesy of South Africa’s under-19 star Dewald Brevis. He smashed 162 runs in just 57 balls with a strike rate of 284. 21. His knock consisted of 13 fours and 13 sixes. This is the third-highest score in T20 cricket history.
The highest score in T20 is by West Indies legend Chris Gayle, who smacked 175* in just 66 balls against Pune Warriors India while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL. It is followed b y Aaron Finch, who scored a cracking 172 of 76 balls against Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe’s Hamilton Masakadza’s 162* of 71 balls for his side Mountaineers against Mashonaland Eagles in the country’s domestic T20 competition, and Afghanistan batter Hazratullah Zazai’s 162* off 62 balls against Ireland.
According to ESPNcricinfo, chasing 272, the Knights fought well but were restricted to 230/9 in their 20 overs. Wicketkeeper-batter Gihahn Cloete top-scored with a knock of 51 runs. Gerald Coetzee (37), Migael Pretorius (29) and Isaac Dikga le (28) also played some handy knocks for the Knights, but it was not enough. Neil Brand (3/28) and Aaron Phangiso (2/44) were the picks of the bowlers for the Titans.
This has now breached the previous record held by teams Otago and Central Districts, who combined to score 497 in their Super Smash (A New Zealand domestic T20 competition) match back in December 2016.
