The four-day match between the two teams began on May 27. Bangladesh opted to bat first and posted 242 for 7 at stumps on Day 1. Iftakhar Hossain Ifti (109) and Moin Khan (91) added crucial runs. On the second morning, the lower order added 45 and 67 runs for the eighth and ninth wickets, respectively.
As the ball cleared the boundary, the broadcast followed its flight. When the camera returned to the pitch, Ntuli was seen approaching Mondol, exchanging heated words before shoving him and grabbing the grill of his helmet.
It remains uncertain whether Ripon Mondol said something to trigger the incident. Notably, Ntuli went on to dismiss Mondol, who scored 43 runs, 12 overs later, as Bangladesh were eventually bowled out for 371.

Iftakhar Hossain Ifti Lifts Bangladesh with a Century on Day 1
On Day 1, Bangladesh made a poor start after opting to bat, losing opener Ashiqur Rahman Shibli for a duck and slumping to 58 for 5 by the end of the first session. Among the early dismissals were skipper Shahadat Hossain (1) and Md Rizwan (7).
However, Bangladesh’s momentum was disrupted late in the day as both Ifti and Moin were dismissed in quick succession. For South Africa, Andile Mokgakane stood out with figures of 3 for 20, while Tshepo Ntuli contributed with 2 for 63.
