As the ball bounced toward the ropes, a man with a baby in his hand leaned over the fence and grabbed the ball with his other hand.
A hilarious incident unfolded during the second T20I between South Africa and Pakistan when the batsman hit a boundary towards the backward point region. The bowler bowled a slightly longer delivery outside the line of stump, to which the batsman hit it hard and got the thick outside edge of the willow.
As the ball bounced toward the ropes, a man with a baby in his hand leaned over the fence and grabbed the ball with his other hand. At one point, he had a baby on one side and the ball on the other, making for a comical sight.
He immediately threw the ball to the ground in the playing area and play resumed after the boundary. However, the man and his baby were caught on camera, and people watching the game recorded it on their devices.

South Africa defeated Pakistan by seven wickets

Dayyaan Galiem and Ottneil Baartman snared two wickets each, while George Linde dismissed a batsman for South Africa. Later in the second innings, South Africa did not get off to the brightest of starts as they lost Ryan Rickelton (2) losing his wicket in the second innings.
Matthew Breetzke (12) too could not hold on any longer as he was dismissed in just the fourth over of the innings. However, Reeza Hendricks (117) and Rassie van der Dussen (66) put together a massive 157-run partnership for the fourth wicket to put the Proteas on track.
Later, Heinrich Klaasen (8) gave the final touch as South Africa crossed the finish line. This victory assured them a series victory with one game to spare.
