As the conversation escalated, Babar Azam had to step in to separate the two of them and cool them down. The incident happened after the 26th over of South Africa's innings, which was bowled by the fast bowler Haris Rauf.
Both Klaasen and Rizwan were involved in a verbal battle of words as the umpires tried to calm down both parties. Rizwan even pointed fingers at Klaasen during the argument. Seeing that the argument was not ending, Babar Azam stepped in to move both of them away from each other to continue the game.

While the words were not clear, both the players were not holding themselves back. While Klaasen seemed to suggest to Rizwan that he wasn't talking to him, the Pakistan wicketkeeper called it the umpire's job to check the ball's condition.
Good knocks from Heinrich Klaasen and Mohammad Rizwan
On the other hand, Klaasen smashed a whirlwind 97 off just 74 balls. He was the top run-scorer for South Africa during the match and smashed 8 fours and 4 sixes during his knock. In the end, Rizwan ended up on the happier side as his side won the match.
Pakistan clinch the series
Babar scored a steady 73 off 95 balls while Ghulam smashed a brutal 63 off just 32 balls to take Pakistan past the 300-run mark. Ghulam struck 4 fours and 5 sixes during his knock and was also adjudged the Player of the Match for his impactful performance. Left-arm quick Kwena Maphaka picked up four wickets on ODI debut.
Heinrich Klaasen was the lone fighter for the Proteas as he played a scintillating knock. He was also the last wicket to fall. Shaheen Afridi finished with 4-47 while his new-ball partner Naseem Shah picked up 3-37.
