The 20-year-old made 101 runs in just 53 balls with five boundaries and eight sixes to his name as the cricketing giants posted a massive total of 228 on the board.
\n\nThe 20-year-old put up a massive opening partnership of Connor Esterhuizen (88 in 40 balls) of 156 runs. Pretorius' ton came after he narrowly missed out on the milestone in South Africa's previous victory against Zimbabwe, where he made 94 runs in 51 balls.
