There was a fierce brawl between South Africa's Tshepo Ntuli and Bangladesh's Ripon Mondol during the second four-day unofficial Test match between the two rising teams. The match is being hosted at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, and the brawl occurred on Day 2, May 28, 2025. Bangladesh were putting up the score first and had reached 286 for 8 in 104 overs. South African off-spinner Tshepo Ntuli was introduced to bowl the 105th over. Number 10 batter Ripon Mondol walked out and smacked a huge straight six on the first ball. As Ripon returned to his partner Mehidy Hasan, he seemed to glance at Ntuli. It's not sure if they said any words, but what happened next stunned all. Ntuli suddenly charged at Ripon. He first muttered something, then pushed him, and even clutched the grill of Ripon's helmet. Ripon pushed him back in defense. Umpires and South African fielders had to intervene quickly before things escalated any further. A brief video clip of the incident shared by a journalist has become a viral sensation, indicating how fierce the battle turned. The match officials will be filing a report, and Cricket South Africa (CSA) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) are likely to take steps once the report is filed.

Normally we see verbal altercations in a cricket field but we don't often see a scuffle. Ntuli struck Ripon's helmet at one point." BCB Yet to Take the Action This is not the first time things have escalated in this series. Earlier, during the ODI matches leading up to this, South Africa's Andile Simelane and Bangladesh's Jishan Alam had also got into trouble and were suspended following an incident. It's apparent that tensions run high between the two sides, and this recent brawl only adds to the melodrama. Everyone is now waiting to see what steps the cricket boards take.
