Levi, in his third game for the Proteas, took advantage of short boundaries to smash 117 not out off 51 balls as his side reached the 174 target in 16 overs.

He hit 13 sixes to break West Indian Chris Gayle's record of 10 sixes in a Twenty20 international and he equalled Gayle's mark for highest score.

Ball by Ball score to reach 100:

1 0 6 0 0 6 0 6 4 0
