10 Worst rumours we have heard around cricket
6. Match fixing haunts Pakistan again:
Pakistan’s performance in the 3rd ODI against England last year, played at Sharjah on November 17, 2015, was far from impressive. Pakistan after electing to bat, lost wickets in a heap and were bundled out for a paltry total of 208 with only Mohammad Hafeez crossing the 40-run mark (45 of 67 balls). In the run chase, the bowling certainly looked shabby and the target was chased down easily in 41 overs and Pakistan lost the match by 6 wickets. Reports also claimed that right after the toss, it was expected that Pakistan would put up a dismal performance and the Indian betting market had put up billions of dollars per game and wanted the Pakistani side to lose. Later the PCB chief said that the reports were absolutely wrong and they will raise the issue with the ICC. Waqar Younis, the coach of the team, also said that he had full faith in his boys and such speculations are baseless.
