The gate fidelity and the coherence time of a qubit are important benchmarks for quantum computation. We construct a qubit using a single electron spin in a Si/SiGe quantum dot and control it electrically via an artificial spin-orbit field from a micromagnet. We measure an average single-qubit gate fidelity of $\approx$ 99$\%$ using randomized benchmarking, which is consistent with dephasing from the slowly evolving nuclear spins in substrate. The coherence time measured using dynamical decoupling extends up to $\approx$ 400 $\mu$s for 128 decoupling pulses, with no sign of saturation. We find evidence that the coherence time is limited by noise in the 10 kHz $-$ 1 MHz range, possibly because charge noise affecting the spin via the micromagnet gradient. This work shows that an electron spin in a Si/SiGe quantum dot is a good candidate for quantum information processing as well as for a quantum memory, even without isotopic purification.
