VIDEO: Rizwan loses cool against South Africa's Klaasen in second ODI

A heated exchange between Pakistan skipper Muhammad Rizwan and South African batsman Heinrich Klaasen has gone viral over the internet.

As per the details, a video of the exchange showed Rizwan losing his cool during the second Pakistan-South Africa One Day International (ODI) at Newlands Cricket Ground which marked yet another successful ODI campaign under the wicketkeeper-batsman’s leadership.

The exchange took place during the 26th over of the match that Pakistan won by 81 runs.

It had followed Haris Rauf’s bouncer against Klaasen on the last ball of the over, triggering the South African.

Klaasen and Rizwan were calmed down by umpires and other players on the field.

Earlier, Klaasen played a remarkable innings, scoring 97 runs off just 74 balls. He fell victim to Naseem Shah and failed to lead his team to victory.

Playing first, Pakistan had scored 329 runs in 50 overs. Proteas, on the other hand, could only score 248 runs before all their batsmen returned to the pavilion, securing Pakistan a 2-0 lead against South Africa.

While Greenshirts have claimed the ODI series, they lost last week’s three-match T20 series 2-0, with one of the matches rained out.

 PAK vs SA T20 series

South Africa secured a 2-0 victory in the three-match T20 series against Pakistan, with the final match abandoned due to rain.

1st T20I: Durban

In the opening match at Kingsmead, Durban, South Africa elected to bat first and posted a competitive total. Reeza Hendricks was the standout performer, contributing significantly to the team's score. Pakistan's chase was thwarted by disciplined South African bowling, leading to a victory for the hosts.

2nd T20I: Centurion

The second match at Centurion Park was a high-scoring affair. Pakistan, batting first, set an imposing target of 206/5, with Saim Ayub remaining unbeaten on 98. South Africa's response was led by Reeza Hendricks, who scored a blistering 117 off 63 balls, his maiden T20I century, featuring 10 sixes. His partnership with Rassie van der Dussen, who remained not out on 66, guided South Africa to a seven-wicket victory with three balls to spare, clinching the series.

3rd T20I: Johannesburg

The final match in Johannesburg was abandoned due to persistent rain, resulting in a no-result.

South Africa's series win highlighted their batting prowess, particularly the form of Reeza Hendricks, and effective bowling strategies. Pakistan showed moments of brilliance, notably Saim Ayub's performance, but were unable to secure a win in the series.
