Fan gives birth to baby during Pak-South Africa match
An unusual event took place during the final match of the three-match ODI series between Pakistan and South Africa as a spectator ended up giving birth to her child at the stadium.
Pakistan on Sunday ended up whitewashing South Africa at Johannesburg’s Wanderers Stadium as Greenshirts won the third ODI by 36 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis (DLS) method.
The match, however, also ended up becoming a celebration of life as people from all over the world witnessed an unusual event when a fan gave birth to her son.
The same was announced on the scoreboard. “Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Rabeng on the birth of a healthy baby boy,” read the announcement.
Meanwhile, the game that was South Africa’s annual Pink Day match – Proteas taking to the field in pink jerseys (kits) for breast cancer awareness – also became a celebration of love as a spectator proposed his girlfriend at the stadium, which she accepted.
With pictures of both events being widely shared on social media, users from all over the world have expressed best wishes for the newly-engaged couple and the newborn.
