"Shut Up And Play": Mohammad Rizwan, Heinrich Klaasen Engage In Heated Affair On Field. Video

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.

The conversation took place during the break between the conclusion of the 26th over and the start of the 27th. Someone was even heard telling Klaasen to "shut up and play". Here's the video:

As for the match, Pakistan emerged victorious despite Klaasen's valiant 97-run knock. The win gave Pakistan an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

It was their fifth successive series win - and the third for the Champions Trophy hosts in the southern hemisphere season, following victories in Australia and Zimbabwe.

"It's a team game, from beginning to end all of the guys are involved and contributing," said Rizwan.

Babar and Rizwan, whose combined 204 one-day caps exceeded the total of the rest of the team, batted soundly and sensibly before Babar was out with the total on 192 in the 33rd over.

Rizwan followed three overs later to a sensational diving catch off his own bowling by 18-year-old one-day debutant Kwena Maphaka.

But the stage had been set for some power hitting by the batsmen
