Mohammad Rizwan, known for his antics on the field once again showcased his time wasting tactics as the Pakistan skipper fell on the ground after completing a couple of runs in the 17th over of the innings.

The 17th over by Kwena Maphaka conceded 24 runs and swung the momentum in Pakistan's favour, but the over also saw a lot of drama, as Rizwan tried his best to rattle the Proteas side. In the 5th delivery of the over, Maphaka bowled a waist-high full-toss as Mohammad Rizwan swung the bat but didn't get the connection as the ball went to short extra cover.

The fielder there threw the ball towards the non strikers end, but misses it completely as Rizwan came back for the second run. However, as soon as he crossed the line, the Pakistan skipper fell on the ground while holding his hamstring as the physio walked out.

Immediately after a couple of minutes he looked fine and was ready to go as South Africa's momentum was snatched.
