Unpleasant scenes marred the second day of the second unofficial Test between South Africa A and Bangladesh A at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday, as an on-field altercation escalated into a rare physical confrontation.
The incident involved South African bowler Tshepo Ntuli and Bangladeshi batter Ripon Mondol, who were embroiled in a heated exchange that spiraled into a physical clash. The episode unfolded shortly after Mondol struck Ntuli for a commanding straight six, seemingly triggering verbal provocation between the two players. As tensions rose, Ntuli charged toward Mondol in a show of aggression, breaking the usual boundary of verbal sledging and resulting in an unexpected physical scuffle.
