While cricket is a lot of fun by itself, it wouldn’t hurt to have some unusual on-field action. While England beat South Africa to clinch the ongoing T20 International series 2-1, an unusual incident also happened to be something that spectators and fans of the game took home for the night.
A climate change activist, owing allegiance to ‘Greenpeace Africa’ barged into the middle of the pitch, wearing a Wonder Woman costume -- a fictional superhero(ine) character from DC Comics.
The incident happened in the second over of the England run chase when South Africa fielders were celebrating the fall of Jason Roy's wicket after he was sent packing by fast bowler Lungi Ngidi for 7.
After getting on the field, the activist first approached South Africa captain Quinton de Kock and handed him a white pollution mask, which he accepted gladly, with a smiling face. Soon enough, they were joined by Dale Steyn who gave the activist a high-five and took the mask.
Greenpeace Africa, which works to create awareness on climate change, posted the video of the incident on their official Facebook page.
