NEW DELHI: Cricket never fails to deliver unexpected drama, and fans witnessed a bizarre moment during the 2nd Test between Bangladesh and South Africa in Chattogram on Wednesday.
A sequence of events saw 10 runs on the Bangladesh scoreboard after just one legal delivery — without the batter even hitting the ball.
The unusual incident took place in the first over of Bangladesh’s innings.
South African star pacer Kagiso Rabada started with a decent delivery outside off, which Shadman Islam left alone.
But on the second delivery, Rabada overstepped, bowling a wide, leg-side no-ball. Wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne attempted a dive to stop it, but the ball zipped away to the boundary for four byes, adding a total of five runs from that delivery alone.
However, the drama began even earlier. South Africa had been penalized five runs before Bangladesh started their innings because Senuran Muthusamy, while batting in the first innings, repeatedly ran on the pitch, breaching ICC rules on pitch protection.
Watch:

This quirky rule meant Bangladesh began their chase at 5/0 before facing a single ball.
When Rabada’s wayward no-ball added another five runs, Bangladesh found themselves at 10/0 — all without the bat making contact!
Despite the amusing start, Bangladesh’s innings quickly crumbled under relentless pressure from South Africa’s bowlers.
Rabada and company struck back hard, leaving Bangladesh struggling at 38/4 at stumps.
Earlier, the Proteas posted an imposing 577/6 declared, setting the tone for a challenging task ahead for Bangladesh. With the visitors firmly in control, the hosts face a steep climb on Day 3.
