[Watch] Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen collide at boundary ropes, ball sails for 6 in WI vs SA 2024 T20 World Cup clash
South Africa bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen collided at the boundary ropes as the ball went for a six in the 2024 T20 World Cup match against the West Indies in Antigua on Sunday, June 23. Luckily, the two SA players escaped unhurt.
The incident took place in the eighth over of the West Indies innings. Aiden Markram bowled a tossed-up delivery on the middle stump, right in the slot and Kyle Mayers lofted it straight down the ground. Rabada and Jansen converged from long-off and long-on and jumped into each other as the ball cleared both of them.
Rabada seemed relatively unscathed and Jansen also got back on his feet but the latter left the field and didn’t bowl his remaining two overs of the game.
