In a bizarre turn of incidents, Bangladesh recorded ten runs with just one ball being bowled in the second Test against South Africa. In the second innings of the second Test, overnight batters David Bedingham and Tony de Zorzi continued their knock at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. The match saw Taijul Islam making a mark with Wiaan Mulder and Senuran Muthusamy scoring a 154-run seventh-pair wicket partnership to put 577 runs for six wickets on the board.
In response, Bangladesh kicked off their innings with five-penalty runs, owing to Muthusamy’s lack of awareness. Shadman Islam faced the first ball of the innings delivered by Kagiso Rabada. The next delivery went down the leg stump that the batter left and the keeper failed to cover it up. The ball ended up touching the boundary while the on-field umpire gestured for a no-ball, leading to 10 runs on the scoreboard. However, moments later, it was clarified that there were five penalty runs that Bangladesh had earned as Muthusamy stepped across the middle of the pitch despite a warning from the umpire.
