During a match against the West Indies at the Wanderers, South African spinner Keshav Maharaj collapsed on the field while celebrating the wicket of Kyle Mayers. Clutching his heel, he was immediately surrounded by his teammates and had to be stretchered off the field for medical attention.
Maharaj had successfully reviewed an LBW appeal against Mayers, taking his second wicket of the day after dismissing Roston Chase earlier. This reduced the West Indies to a score of 34 for 6 in just 18.5 overs. The West Indians lost four more wickets later in the day to lose the second Test match to South Africa by a mammoth margin of 284 runs.
Earlier in the day, Kagiso Rabada picked up three quick wickets to trigger the West Indies collapse. He trapped Kraigg Brathwaite LBW for 18 runs in the 11th over and then dismissed Raymon Reifer in the same over for a duck. Rabada was provided some help by spinner Simon Harme, who sent Tagenarine Chanderpaul back to the pavilion in the 14th over.
The West Indies were bowled out for just 106 runs in the final innings of the game. Earlier, South Africa scored 321 runs on the back of captain Temba Bavuma's second Test century. Bavuma scored 172 off 280 balls to help the home side post a 391-run target. Bavuma was the only batsman to cross the 50-run mark for the Proteas. Jason Holder and Kyle Mayers picked up three wickets each in the innings.
