WATCH: Marco Jensen and Mohammad Rizwan get involved in heated exchange during PAK vs SA ODI World Cup 2023 clash

Pakistan and South Africa currently have been underway at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After winning the toss, Babar Azam chose to bat first. During the game, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan and South African pacer Marco Jansen got into a heated exchange. The incident occurred as Rizwan attempted to play a shot and the ball edged and ran away for a third-man boundary.

When Rizwan came into bat after the opener Imam-ul-Haq was removed in the seventh over. Jansen dropped a difficult catch off his own bowling. The wicketkeeper then sliced the ball, and the third man was within the 30-yard circle, and conceded a four. He got agitated and tried to sledge after the ball and an argument broke out between them. 

In the last ball of the 7th over he played a dot and Jensen said something to the wicket-keeper. The 31-year-old smiled back spread his hand wide open and gestured a hug to the Protea pacer. In a must-win game for the Men in Green, they posted a total of  270 runs with Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel scoring half-centuries respectively.
