Watch: Sports Presenter Zainab Abbas hilariously tumbles on the ground during live commentary in SA20

Sports presenter Zainab Abbas hilariously fell during the MI Cape Town vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape match in SA20 on Wednesday, January 18.

The incident took place in the 13th over of the Sunrisers’ innings. The fielder dived in to save a certain boundary and collided with Abbas. She tumbled to the ground but immediately recovered and asked her colleague whether he was okay.

“It seems we are okay, we have rather survived,” she said, adding, “It’s clearly back to you guys in the commentary box.”

She later took to Twitter to share the hilarious encounter:

“I’ve survived, but now I know how it feels! Get that ice pack out..”
