Match-fixing in Bangalore

DOUBTS ON MATCH


Published in Khaleej Times on March 3, 2011

It’s going to be very difficult to prove, but the Bangalore fixture between England and India appears to have been fixed. First of all, Shane Warne confidently predicted that it would end in a tie in the middle of the match. Secondly, millions of rupees were bet on the match ending in a tie. If Pakistan had been one of the teams, the ICC would have cancelled the results and penalised a couple of players.
