England women are having a great time out there in South Africa as they have won the 3-match T20I series, 2-0. With a dominating performance in two games, the visitors have stunned the hosts with their astounding performance. After winning the first game by four wickets, England emerged victorious in the second game as well, clinching the series. In the 2nd game, England by 36 runs.
During the 19th over of the 2nd T20I, a funny moment happened which lightened the intensity of the match. When bowler Nat Sciver-Brunt was bowling to Nadine de Klerk, her hand towel fell off her waist and landed on her foot while she was running. On hitting her right foot, the towel came up in the air, near her right hand and then got delivered with the ball.
It didn't the batter but fell in the midway distracting the game. The batter didn't play the ball and left it but the players took some time out of the intense game and laughed at the incident as it was hilarious and happened so suddenly.

After being 15-2 in two overs, these batters took the game till the 12th over. From there, captain Heather Knight continued with the fireworks scoring 26 runs off 19 balls. When South Africa came to bat, they lost their opener early on but somehow managed to gain momentum. Even though most of the players contributed, chasing 204 couldn't be possible for them. Sarah Glenn claimed four wickets and was one of the reasons behind England's win.
