During the thrilling Pakistan vs South Africa match at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Sunday, a woman gave birth to a baby at the stadium's medical facility, adding an extraordinary twist to the cricketing event.
The cricket fan, who attended the match in the final days of her pregnancy, made the occasion unforgettable by welcoming her baby during the game.
A message on the stadium's big screen congratulated the couple, Mr and Mrs Rabeng, on the birth of their baby boy, delighting the crowd.
Adding to the memorable day, a romantic moment unfolded in the stands when a spectator proposed to his girlfriend.
Going down on one knee, the man asked for her hand in marriage, and her acceptance was met with loud cheers and applause from the crowd.
The Proteas, meanwhile, continued their tradition of wearing pink jerseys to raise awareness about breast cancer, a campaign that began in 2013.
The match was historic for cricket fans not only for these unique moments but also for several records set by the Green Shirts in the crucial ODI series, making it a day to remember for all.
Pakistan achieved a historic feat by winning an ODI series in South Africa for the third time, becoming the first team to accomplish this feat in the 21st century.
Opening batter Saim Ayub made history in the first ODI against South Africa on Tuesday at Boland Park, Paarl.
The 22-year-old batsman became the youngest player to score a century against South Africa, achieving the milestone with a brilliant 109 off 119 balls while chasing a target of 240 runs.
During the series, Salman Ali Agha also set a unique record in ODI cricket. He became the seventh player in history to score 80 or more runs and take four wickets in a single ODI match.
