South Africa created history after chasing the highest-ever total in a T20I match during the 2nd T20I against West Indies at SuperSport Park, Centurion. Meanwhile, West Indies captain Rovman Powell suffered an injury while trying to save a five-year-old ball boy from a catastrophic injury. During the fifth delivery of the third over of South Africa's innings, wicketkeeper batter Quinton de Kock slammed the ball towards the long off boundary. Powell, who was chasing the ball, was inside the dive length of saving a four. However, when he saw a five-year-old ball boy coming to the edge of the boundary to catch the ball, Powell decided to call off the chase. The West Indies all-rounder swiftly jumped over the kid saving him from getting seriously injured but then crashed into the LED boards.

Rovman Powell Injures Himself in Order to Protect a 5-year-Old Ball Boy From Getting Injured
How about an ICC Spirit of Cricket Award to Rovman Powell for not steamrolling a five-year-old ball boy just now at Centurion when he was fully within his rights to in an effort to save a boundary, and instead avoided him before consequently nearly sustaining a serious injury. pic.twitter.com/QDOxZ5dCbk
