Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan and South Africa wicket-keeper batter Heinrich Klaasen had a heated argument on the field during the second ODI between the two sides at Cape Town on Thursday. Though there isn't a confirmation on the matter of the argument, it has been claimed that the South Africa star wasn't happy with the condition of the ball being used. Rizwan, however, was in no mood to pay heed to Klaasen's complaints and suggested he should continue playing. The clash went on for a while, prompting other players and the umpires to intervene too.
South Africa's prolific batter Heinrich Klaasen has been fined 15% of his match fee for committing a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct, said ICC in a statement. One demerit point has also been added to his disciplinary record for violating Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to "abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match." The incident took place during the second ODI on Thursday between South Africa and Pakistan. Klaasen was a standout performer with the bat for the hosts, scoring a valiant 97 off 74 balls as South Africa faced a challenging chase of 330.
