While South Africa thrashed the hosts Australia in the second T20I of the three-match series to level the series (1-1) and end the Aussies' nine-match T20I winning streak. During the second innings of the match, while Australia were chasing a big target, there was a bizarre incident, which made the South African players very shocked. 

Dewald Brevis' stormy 125 not out off 56 balls guided Proteas to manage the first innings total of 218/7 in 20 overs. In reply, the hosts Australia were all out for 165 runs, and South Africa won by 53 runs. Due to losing wickets at regular intervals, Australia hardly managed to fight back in the chase.

Corbin Bosch stunned after Mitchell Owen's bizarre bowled-rescue

When Australia were struggling despite scoring close to 10 runs per over, that shocking incident stunned everyone. It was the second ball of the 13th over, when Corbin Bosch was bowling to Mitchell Owen. It was a full-length delivery angling into the off stump, which Owen tried to smash hard but completely missed, and the ball kissed the off-stump. As the ball hit the off-stump, the off-stump bail lit up, but the bail didn't fall, and Owen was very lucky to remain not out. 

South African pacer Corbin Bosch and his colleagues were all in shock in that incident, as they couldn't believe that unlucky moment. Even the commentators had the same reactions as the Proteas camp. Proteas cricketer Rassie van der Dussen checked the stumps and gently hit the bail twice, while it only fell during the second time. It was the time when Owen was batting on 6 runs, who only added two more runs before getting out.
