Klaasen kicked the stump
The incident occurred in the 43rd over of South Africa's innings, when Klaasen kicked the stumps in anger after being dismissed. Match referee Richie Richardson fined him for this inappropriate behaviour. Klaasen performed brilliantly in the match and scored 97 runs on 74 balls. However, the rest of the team's performance remained weak and South Africa was all out for 248 runs while chasing the target of 330 runs. Klaasen was out as the last wicket.
Pakistan took an unassailable 2-0 lead
Batting first, Pakistan scored half-centuries from captain Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam. Kamran Ghulam scored a quick 63 runs in 32 balls and took the team to a big score of 330, and Pakistan won the match.
With this win, Pakistan took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. The third and last ODI match will be played on Sunday, 22 December in Johannesburg.
