Lhuan-dre Pretorius scored 101 as South Africa beat Namibia by 11 runs in T20 tri-series

Pretorius posted a maiden T20I hundred at 20 years old to help South Africa set up a tri-series final against Zimbabwe.

Lhuan-dre Pretorius scored 101 off 53 balls as South Africa beat Namibia by 11 runs in the T20 tri-series in Windhoek. The 20-year-old became the youngest centurion from a full-member nation in men's T20Is, surpassing Afghanistan's Hazratullah Zazai.

Pretorius reached his fifty in 28 balls and shared a 156-run opening stand with Connor Esterhuizen, who made 88. South Africa posted 228 and secured qualification for Sunday's final against Zimbabwe.

The result leaves Namibia needing a victory over South Africa in their remaining fixture to keep their own final hopes alive.
