Watch: During Cricket World Cup 2023, Clash Mohammad Rizwan Engages in Verbal Spat With Marco Jansen
The star player of Pakistan cricket team Mohammad Rizwan was once again in the news during the cricket World Cup 2023 match against South Africa cricket team on Friday as he was involved in a verbal spat with fast bowler Marco Janson. Janson dropped Rizwan off his own bowling during the seventh over of the Pakistan innings, and the batter punished South Africa for their mistake with a boundary off the very next delivery. However, tensions flared between the players as Rizwan and Jansen were engaged in a war of words, and the umpires had to intervene. Rizwan was later dismissed by Gerald Coetzee after he was caught behind the stumps by Quinton De Kock, and his celebration said it all about the importance of the dismissal.

Earlier, the captain of Pakistan, Babar Azam, won the toss and opted to bat. Pakistan have lost three matches in succession after winning their first two. They were forced to leave out fast bowler Hasan Ali, who has a fever. He is replaced by Mohammad Wasim, while spinner Mohammad Nawaz comes in for Usama Mir in a like-for-like change.
