A tense moment occurred during the Pakistan vs South Africa ODI match on Wednesday when Pakistan players celebrated exuberantly in front of South African captain Temba Bavuma after his dismissal for 82 runs.
The incident took place in the 29th over when Bavuma was run out following a mix-up with Matthew Breetzke, courtesy of a direct throw from Saud Shakeel.

Bavuma’s exit was interrupted when Kamran Ghulam, joined by Shakeel and Agha Salman, celebrated directly in his path, almost in his face. The players eventually cleared the way, but the umpires addressed the matter with Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan.

South Africa put up a strong performance, posting 352/5 against the hosts in Karachi. Breetzke and Heinrich Klaasen contributed significantly with 83 and 87 runs respectively. Shaheen Shah Afridi emerged as Pakistan’s best bowler with 2 wickets.
In reply, Pakistan overhauled the massive total, their biggest successful chase in ODIs, with centuries from Mohammad Rizwan (122* from 128 balls) and Salman Agha (134 from 103). Pakistan won by six wickets with six balls to spare.
It was a difficult day for the seamers in Karachi as they went for runs aplenty. Pakistan’s quicks conceded 206 runs in 28 overs, of which Mohammad Hasnain’s eight cost 72, and South Africa’s pacers gave away 223 runs in 27 overs.
South Africa chose to bat first after winning the toss in this crucial tri-nation series match. Both teams needed a win to stay in contention, as New Zealand had already secured their place in Friday’s final after victories against both Pakistan and South Africa in Lahore.
As a result, Pakistan booked their place in the tri-series final against New Zealand. South Africa, meanwhile, have now lost six successive ODIs.
