The third ODI match played between Pakistan and South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg was a unique experience beyond cricket. In this match played on Pink Day, while Pakistan created history by clean sweeping South Africa in an ODI series for the first time on its soil, two memorable moments were also recorded in the stadium. First, a woman gave birth to a child in the stadium and second, a young man proposed to his girlfriend.
The stadium echoed with the baby’s cry
During the match, a child was born in the medical room of the stadium. The message came on the screen, “Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Rabeng on the birth of their son.” This special moment was not only emotional for the audience, but also forever recorded in the memories of the Wanderers Stadium.
Expression of love became a special moment
During this match, a young man proposed to his girlfriend in front of the audience. The stadium echoed with applause and cheers on this scene of him sitting on his knees and putting a ring on his girlfriend’s finger. This love-filled moment became the highlight of the match, which was also shared by the South African cricket team on social media.
