Watch: Temba Bavuma was run out after a mix-up with his batting partner, but it was the manner of Pakistan's wild celebrations which became a talking point during the ODI tri-series in Pakistan.
Bavuma, who was on 82, nudged a delivery to backward point and set off for a quick single. However, a mix-up with Matthew Breetzke ensued, leaving both stranded in the middle. Saud Shakeel, at backward point, fired in a rocket throw, leaving Bavuma far out of the crease. It brought an end to a 119-run partnership for the second wicket, and gave Pakistan a much-needed breakthrough in the 29th over.

Wild celebrations from the Pakistan team followed: Khushdil Shah punched the air in celebration and exalted right in front of the departing Bavuma; Shakeel too, ran in and celebrated wildly on Bavuma's face. It prompted the South Africa captain to stop in his path, pausing as if to gesture for them to move out of his way.
It wasn't the only bit of drama between the two sides: Shaheen Afridi, too, had a run-in with Breetzke, leading to a fiery confrontation that required the umpires to intervene.
Bavuma fell short of his sixth ODI century, as did Breetzke, missing the opportunity to become the first batter ever to score two centuries in his first two ODI innings. Klaasen also smashed a fifty, off just 38 balls, setting up South Africa well for a 300-plus score.
Pakistan continued to have an excellent day in the field, with Salman Agha grabbing a stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Breetzke later.
