Temba Bavuma and Quinton de Kock Clash Over Review in South Africa's ODI Win
During the second ODI between South Africa and Australia at the Wanderers, a heated on-field exchange occurred between South African captain Temba Bavuma and wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock over a review decision on an LBW appeal against Australian batsman Xavier Bartlett. Bavuma opted for the review, which was successful, but de Kock disagreed, leading to a verbal altercation that teammate Marco Jansen helped defuse. South Africa won the match by 32 runs, securing an unassailable 2-0 series lead.
