A hilarious incident took place during the SA20 2025 final between MI Cape Town and Sunrisers Eastern Cape. In the 17th over of MI Cape Town’s innings, Connor Esterhuizen played a slog sweep, sending the ball into the stands. Fans standing near the railing attempted a one-handed catch, hoping to win 2 million rand.
However, one of the fans lost his balance and tumbled over the railing, falling on a female spectator seated in the lower stand. To make matters worse, he also dropped his pants. Fans and netizens couldn’t hold back their laughter over the incident.
The SA20 league features a challenge where any fan who takes a one-handed catch during a match wins a share of 2 million rand (approximately 108,000 USD). Several fans have successfully claimed the prize this season.

Talking about the match, the Rashid Khan-led MI Cape Town posted a total of 181 runs. The pressure of the big final was evident on Sunrisers Eastern Cape, as they had a shaky start to the chase.
Although Tom Abell and Tony de Zorzi built a 50-plus partnership, their dismissals triggered a dramatic collapse, with the entire batting lineup crumbling like a house of cards. Sunrisers were bowled out for just 105 runs.
With this victory, MI Cape Town secured their first-ever SA20 title, while Sunrisers Eastern Cape fell short of completing a title hat-trick. The Aiden Markram-led side had won both previous SA20 seasons.
